Creamy Tomato Soup

-4 Cups milk
-3 (14 ounce) cans dived tomatoes, drained
-2 rounded tablespoons tomato paste
-1 medium onion- chopped
-1 stalk of celery, coarsly chopped
-salt and pepper
-1 tsp sugar
-4 Tbs all-purpose flour
-2 Tbs butter, cut into peices
-1 Clove of Garlic
- 1/2 Cup store bought prepared basil pesto (I didn't have this so I used a tsp basil)

Heat the milk over moderate heat in a medium pot. Put tomatoes, tomatoe paste, onions, salt and pepper, sugar, glour, butter and celery into a food processor* and grind until smooth. Pour micture into milk and raise heat to bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.

Pour soup into shallow bowls and add a couple or rounded spoonfuls of pesto into each dish and stir into the soup.
Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches and/or gold fish crackers!!

*My food processor is to small for all of these things, so I did them in small batches. Then I just used a hand mixer for a couple minutes to mix everything together!!
