Directions
Place the milk, onion, peppercorns, salt and bouquet garni in a saucepan and bring slowly to a boil.
Form a smooth paste of the rice flour and the cold milk.
Put into the just-boiling milk and stir briskly until there are no lumps.
Simmer over very low heat for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil the sun-dried tomatoes in the 2 cups of water; do not drain.
Strain the milk mixture, add the tomatoes and their liquid, and simmer another 5 minutes.
In a blender, in batches, liquefy the soup.
Return to the stove and bring just to a boil.
Add the optional cream, if desired, and serve in hot bowls garnished with a minced green herb.
