Andalusian Condiment Soup image

Delicious, great party soup and a good way to use leftovers. This makes a huge batch. I use chicken stock from concentrate (Minor's or Better Than Bouillon) which have a good flavor and take up less cupboard space than cans or cartons of ready-to-use stock. From Sunset Magazine, 1976.

Time 2h45m

Yield 12 quarts, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 33

1/2 cup butter
6 tablespoons olive oil
24 cups thinly sliced onions
18 tablespoons flour
12 cups tomato puree (#10 can)
8 quarts chicken stock
1/2 cup minced garlic
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons crushed cumin seeds (I use mortar & pestle)
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon tarragon
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
cooked pasta (raviolis or tortellinis are excellent)
garbanzo beans
chopped parsley (*) or cilantro (*)
crouton
chopped onion
tofu, cubes
sausage
meatballs
bay shrimp
any kind of leftover meat, chopped
sour cream (*)
lime wedge (*)
sliced olive
diced bell pepper
chopped tomato
sliced sauteed mushroom
shredded cheese, especially cheddar or parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large stock pot (at least 16-quart capacity).
  • Add oil and onions.
  • Cook onions slowly, stirring occasionally until limp and slightly golden (about 1 hour).
  • Sprinkle flour over onions and blend well.
  • Gradually stir in tomato puree and stock (or water and soup base, see notes).
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir until well blended.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Be sure to serve soup really hot as the condiments will cool it down.
  • Fill bowls with desired condiments, then ladle soup on top.
  • *In my opinion, lime, cilantro and sour cream are must-haves!
  • I make the soup concentrated so it will take up less room in my freezer (essential since the last time I made it it would have been over 10 gallons of ready-to-eat!) To do this, follow the recipe through step 6, using only one quart of stock. I use the Minor's concentrate, and add the full amount necessary for the entire pot of soup.
  • I freeze mine in 4- to 6-cup containers, because you will add the same amount of water, and with this soup, depending on what you are serving with it, some people may be eating less than a cup of it.
  • When you are going to be serving the soup, put equal parts of concentrate and water in a pot and finish as directed in step 7.
