Preparation Time: 0:45 1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderate
heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 5 mins or until tender. Stir
in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until bubbly. Add the tomatoes,
their juices, the stock, sugar, salt, baking soda, pepper, and mace. Bring
to a boil; lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 mins. 2. In a food
processor or blender, puree the soup for 1 min or until smooth. In the
saucepan, warm the milk over moderate heat just until it begins to bubble.

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the tomato and chives. For a
special touch, top each serving with a swirl of yogurt if you wish. Makes
