Garden Tomato Soup

I have tons of tomatoes growing in my garden so it was nice to be able to use some of them! This is really yummy. As Spencer said at dinner tonight..."I am never eating Campbells tomato soup again!"

4 cups chopped tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth
1 onion chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt

In a large pot bring to a boil tomatoes, chicken broth, onion, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Let boil for 20 minutes. Puree tomato mixture in blender and set aside. In the same pot melt butter and then add flour to make a roux. Once roux is a light brown add tomato mixture. Wisk together to make sure there are no lumps. Add salt and sugar and serve.
