Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_sodium'], recipe: combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, celery, parsley, basil and bay leaf in a large pot. bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until quite soft, 1-2 hours. remove bay leaves and puree soup with an immersion blender. (you can use a food processor or blender, but both tend to add air and will make the soup distinctly pink instead of red.) add salt, sugar, and pepper. bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, 1-2 hours, until thickened.

Target recipe: peel, cube, boil, drain and "mush" potatoes to the consistency you like (i like them lumpy, but my kids like smaller pieces). in separate pan, melt butter, add flour and cook while stirring for about a minute or so. add half the milk and stir until lumps are out of flour mixture. add remaining milk and on med-high heat, heat to a boil. stir almost constantly or it will scorch. after boiling, turn heat off and add remaining ingredients.
