Steps:

• In a dutch oven, melt 2 1/2 tbsp butter. Add mushrooms and saute until tender. Remove the mushrooms, and set aside.
• Add the remaining butter (1 1/2 tbsp) and melt. Add onions, garlic, carrots and celery. Saute until tender. Stir in the flour until smooth. Once the flour has made a smooth paste, add the broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and half of the mushrooms.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and the onion and cook until the mushrooms give off their liquid. This will probably take around 3 to 5 minutes. Don't forget to stir, of course!
• Add the flour and cook 1 minute, then stir in the tomatoes and the broth. Simmer until the onion is tender (about 10 minutes) or until the soup has reached the thickness you desire. Season with pepper to taste. You might want to add a dash of cayenne-it will add a delicious spike of flavor.
• While the soup is in its final 5 minutes of simmering, heat a small skillet with the remaining tablespoon of oil in it. Add the garlic, and sauté briefly, just until the garlic is golden. Pour the oil/garlic combination into the soup, stir, and you're done! Serve with a nice merlot and you will have a marvelous rainy day lunch.
