In heavy saucepan, heat butter and cook onions, celery and red pepper until tender.
Add flour, salt and pepper and stir until blended.
Add tomatoes and stock, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally
Remove from heat and use an immersion blender until desired consistency. Strain if desired. I left it a little chunky and we loved it.

Notes
This is absolutely wonderful using fresh garden tomatoes. Perfect with a grilled cheese sandwich.
