ROASTED TOMATO BASIL AND RICE SOUP



Roasted Tomato Basil and Rice Soup image

Provided by Gena Hamshaw

Number Of Ingredients 11

4-5 pounds plum tomatoes (halved or quartered (depending on size--I suggest quartering the big ones))
10 plump garlic cloves (about 1 head)
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Coarse salt (large flake sea salt or kosher salt)
Black pepper
1 large or 2 small yellow or white onions (thinly sliced)
1 tablespoon organic sugar
3-4 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped (or 1 teaspoon dry thyme))
1/2 cup basil leaves (plus extra for garnish)
1 1/2 cups cooked white or brown rice (or cooked quinoa, barley, farro, or millet, optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400F. Place the tomatoes, cut side up, onto two large, foil- or parchment-lined baking sheets (a shallow casserole dish will also work well). Drizzle them evenly with two tablespoons of olive oil and then use your hands to coat them well. Sprinkle them generously with coarse salt and then a pinch of black pepper. Nestle the garlic cloves in between the tomatoes. Roast the tomatoes for 50 minutes, or until they're browning and juicy. Remove them from the oven and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining half tablespoon of oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium high heat. Add the onions, along with a liberal pinch of salt and a tablespoon of sugar (if using -- the sugar will help them to caramelize and also to mellow the acidity of the tomatoes). Saute for 10-12 minutes, or until the onions are golden, adding a few tablespoons of water as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Add the tomatoes, along with all of their roasting juices, to the pot, along with 3 cups of the vegetable broth and thyme. Mash the tomatoes up a bit with the back of a spoon to help release their liquid. Bring the whole mixture to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the soup in batches to a blender, along with the basil, and puree till very smooth, or use an immersion blender to puree it. When it's well pureed, return the soup to the pot. Check it for seasoning and add extra salt and black pepper to taste (I added an extra 1/4 teaspoon salt to the soup). Also check the soup's consistency, and add the remaining cup of broth if needed--I like a thicker soup, but it shouldn't look like marinara sauce. Finally, stir in the rice if using.
  • Divide soup into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a few basil leaves. Serve. Leftover soup will keep for up to five days, and it can be frozen for up to two months.

TOMATO RICE SOUP

CREAMY TOMATO SOUP



Creamy Tomato Soup image

This creamy tomato soup recipe is adapted from "Martha Stewart's Cooking School." It's simply delicious and full of flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 to 2 cloves garlic (optional)
2 (14-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups Basic Chicken Stock, or water
1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic (if using), stirring constantly, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, their juices, and stock. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Working in batches, transfer tomato mixture to a blender, food processor, or food mill. Puree tomato mixture (if using a blender, cover the lid with a kitchen towel while machine is running).
  • Return soup to a clean pot and set over low heat. Whisk in cream, if desired; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or transfer soup to a bowl set over an ice-water bath to cool completely. Transfer cooled soup to an airtight container and refrigerate. Reheat over medium heat until heated through.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, juicy tomatoes: This will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes instead.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. If you have the time, roast your tomatoes before adding them to the soup.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even beef broth.
  • Add some cream: Adding cream to your soup will make it richer and more flavorful. You can use heavy cream, half-and-half, or even sour cream.
  • Season your soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add some herbs, such as basil or thyme, for extra flavor.
