HOMEMADE TOMATO SOUP FROM SCRATCH



Homemade Tomato Soup From Scratch image

Homemade tomato soup from scratch is the best way to make soup with fresh tomatoes from your garden. You're going to love this easy tomato soup recipe!

Provided by Chrissie (thebusybaker.ca)

Categories     Main Course     Side Dish     Soup

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion (chopped)
2 carrots (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
15 medium ripe tomatoes (chopped into chunks)
5 fresh basil leaves (chopped)
1/4 tsp salt and pepper (to taste)
1/3 cup tomato paste
1 cup vegetable stock
1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free milk of your choice; coconut milk works very well)
A few basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare all the vegetables to start: chop the onion, carrots, tomatoes, and the basil leaves. Mince the garlic, and set everything aside.
  • Place a large pot over medium heat. Once the pot has heated, add the oil and then the onions and the garlic.
  • Saute the onions and garlic until the onions begin to soften. Add the carrots, tomatoes, basil leaves and salt and pepper, and stir. Let everything cook for a few minutes, stirring often. You'll notice the tomatoes begin to fall apart as they cook and the carrot pieces will begin to soften slightly. After about 5-6 minutes, add the vegetable stock and tomato paste and stir to combine.
  • Add a lid to the pot and let the soup come to a slow boil. Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring every 3-5 minutes or so.
  • Once the soup has finished simmering and the carrots have softened, remove the pot from the heat and puree the soup using an immersion blender. If you have a high-powered blender, feel free to use that instead. I like my immersion blender because it creates far fewer dishes to wash!
  • After you've pureed the soup put it through a strainer to catch any little bits of tomato seeds or tomato skin that are still floating around in there. There won't be much to strain out, but no one likes little strands of tomato skin in tomato soup!
  • Once you've strained the soup, add the milk (or dairy-free milk alternative, if you wish) and stir to combine.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, add a few fresh basil leaves as a garnish, and serve!

CREAMY TOMATO SOUP- FROM SCRATCH



Creamy Tomato Soup- from scratch image

Another 'made from scratch' family favorite. The hardest part is cutting all of the tomatoes! I like to use Roma but any tomatoe you like will do. The half and half really adds great texture to the soup so don't cheat and add skim milk or other low fat milk. It will really take away from the great taste of the soup. The touch of cloves adds a special taste that will not be missed. A must have in this soup!

Provided by Michelle Kasper

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons flour
3 1/2 lbs ripe roma tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups fresh vegetable broth
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Melt the butter with the oil over low heat in a pot.
  • Add the onion; wilt over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic during the last 2 minutes, stirring.
  • Sprinkle with flour and cook 3 minutes longer, stirring.
  • Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and broth.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover; cook over medium-low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Season with cloves, salt, and pepper.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Purée the soup in a food processor or blender, a small portion at a time.
  • Pour through a strainer into a pot.
  • Stir in the half-and-half.
  • Warm the soup before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the ripest, freshest tomatoes you can find. This will ensure the best flavor for your soup.
  • Roast the tomatoes before making the soup. This will caramelize the sugars in the tomatoes and give the soup a richer, more complex flavor.
  • Use a high-quality olive oil. This will also help to enhance the flavor of the soup.
  • Don't be afraid to add a little spice to the soup. A pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of sriracha can really brighten up the flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will add a cooling, creamy element to the soup.

Conclusion:

Fresh tomato soup is a delicious, versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
