Here's a nice tomato soup to get you started.

Tomato Soup with Stock

1 quart Brown Soup Stock	1/3 cup flour
1 can tomatoes	Onion	1/4 cup each cut in dice
1/2 teaspoon peppercorns	Carrot
1 small bay leaf	Celery
3 cloves	Raw ham
3 sprigs thyme	Salt
4 tablespoons butter	Pepper

Cook onion, carrot, celery, and ham in butter five minutes, add flour, peppercorns, bay leaf, cloves, and thyme, and cook three minutes; then add tomatoes, cover, and cook slowly one hour. When cooked in oven it requires less watching. Rub through a strainer, add hot stock, and season with salt and pepper.
