This colorful soup is delicious any time of year. When I can't get homegrown tomatoes and green beans, I've found that frozen beans and canned tomatoes (or even stewed tomatoes) work just fine. Served with warm breadsticks, this soup is a complete meal. -Bernice Nolan, Granite City, Illinois

SPICY GREEN TOMATO SOUP WITH CRAB & COUNTRY HAM



SPICY GREEN TOMATO SOUP WITH CRAB & COUNTRY HAM image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Shellfish     Appetizer     Sauté     Stew     Ham     Potluck

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients
1/2 cup vegetable oil
5 ounces country ham, julienned
2 medium onions, peeled and thinly sliced
6 whole peeled cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
2 jalapenos, stemmed and sliced
4 green anaheims
2 green pasilla chilies
3 1/2 pound firm, green tomatoes, cored and cut into eighths
1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce
Salt
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for cartilage
1 1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
6 tablespoons capers
1/2 cup chopped green onions

Steps:

  • Directions In a large saucepan, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the ham, pan-fry until crispy and golden, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and strain, reserving the oil and ham. Return the oil to the pan and heat. Add the onions and saute until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the onions with salt and pepper. Add the garlic, bay leaves and chilies, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or until the tomatoes soften. Remove the bay leaves. Using a hand-held blender, puree the soup until smooth. Chill the soup. Add the lemon juice and hot sauce. Season with salt. In a mixing bowl, mix the crabmeat, sour cream, tomatoes, capers and green onions together. Season the salad with salt and pepper. To serve, ladle the soup into individual bowls and garnish with the crab salad and crispy ham. The soup can be served either chilled or warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Green tomatoes should be firm and have no blemishes. Smaller tomatoes are also better for this soup, as they have a higher acidity level.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to the soup. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: They should be cooked until they are soft, but not mushy. Overcooking will make the soup bitter.
  • Use a good quality broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of cream or sour cream for a richer flavor.

Conclusion:

Green tomato soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed all year round. It's a great way to use up green tomatoes, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious green tomato soup that the whole family will enjoy.
