HERBED FRESH TOMATO SOUP



Herbed Fresh Tomato Soup image

This recipe came from an old issue of Better Homes and Gardens. I've been making it for years, and it is a family favorite. I like to serve it with some grated cheese on top and/or a dollop of sour cream. The original recipe called for straining the soup after pureeing to remove the seeds. I skip this step, as I don't mind the seeds. This soup freezes well.

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
8 cloves garlic, peeled
8 Roma tomatoes, halved and seeded
2 red peppers, quartered and seeded
1 medium onion, quartered
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
6 cups vegetable stock
1/4 cup loosely packed chiffonade fresh basil, for serving
Herbed Flatbread, for serving, recipe follows
One 16-ounce ball pizza dough (purchased from local pizza parlor or supermarket)
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh lemon thyme
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for coating bowl
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Gently toss together 2 tablespoons of the oil, the vinegar, thyme, garlic, tomatoes, red peppers and onions on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the tomatoes and red peppers skin-side up and bake until lightly charred, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the tomato paste and mix well. Add the tomato and pepper mixture, including the juices, and combine. Stir in the stock; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and pulse in small batches that reach only about one-third to halfway up the side of the jar. Be careful to start slow and then increase the speed to blitz the ingredients until smooth. Use a separate bowl to hold the blended soup, and then return it all to the pot.
  • Heat the soup to warm through, and then ladle into serving bowls. Garnish with the basil and serve with the Herbed Flatbread.
  • Roll the pizza dough out to about 1-inch thick. Sprinkle evenly with the herbs and roll into a log. Then knead 3 to 4 minutes to evenly incorporate the herbs. Reform the dough into a ball and place in a small bowl lightly coated with olive oil. Set aside to rest for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the garlic and red onions. Remove from the heat and keep warm. Brush a baking sheet with oil. Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thickness and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush about half the garlic butter on top.
  • Remove the garlic and onions with a slotted spoon and scatter over the top. Bake until golden, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, brush with the remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with salt. Cut into 2 inch strips and serve.

CHILLED HERBED TOMATO SOUP WITH CITRUS AND SPICE



Chilled Herbed Tomato Soup with Citrus and Spice image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Vodka     Ginger     Tomato     Lime     Arugula     White Wine     Summer     Chill     Lemongrass     Cilantro     Simmer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
5 14-ounce cans diced tomatoes in juice
1/2 cup chopped shallots
2 tablespoons minced lemongrass
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 tablespoons honey
2 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt broth
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons grated lime peel
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons aquavit or vodka
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh arugula

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Add tomatoes with their juice, shallots, lemongrass, ginger and garlic; simmer until liquid evaporates, about 12 minutes. Add honey and simmer until mixture is very thick, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Add chicken stock and next 5 ingredients. Simmer 30 minutes.
  • Working in batches, strain soup into large bowl, pressing on solids to release juices. Discard solids. Season soup with salt and pepper. Chill soup at least 8 hours.
  • Stir lemon juice and aquavit into soup. Garnish with arugula.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The better the tomatoes, the better the soup will be. Look for tomatoes that are a deep red color and have no blemishes.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this soup. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes. The tomatoes should be cooked until they are soft, but not mushy. Overcooked tomatoes will lose their flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve the soup hot. Fresh tomato soup is best served hot, with a crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Fresh tomato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up fresh tomatoes from your garden. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
