FAUX-FRESH TOMATO SOUP



Faux-Fresh Tomato Soup image

From the Sunset Low-Fat Cookbook, recipe is based on canned tomato purée. Top off with Herbed Cheese Croutons (recipe included). The deglazing (3 times) makes this one a bit time-consuming but gives the soup its good flavor. I prefer using the dried basil over the fresh in this recipe and a little chunkier than the usual smooth tomato soup.

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) French baguettes
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese or 2 tablespoons romano cheese
1 teaspoon dry basil
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
5 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 (15 ounce) can tomato puree
3 tablespoons dry basil or 1/3 cup cups chopped fresh basil
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • PREPARE CROUTONS AND SET ASIDE:.
  • Slice 1 small French bread baguette (8 oz) crosswise into 1/4-in slices. Sprinkle slices with grated cheese then sprinkle lightly with dry basil and coarse salt. Place bread slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake in a 300° oven until toasted and golden brown (about 20 minutes). Serve croutons warm or at room temperature.
  • MAKE SOUP:.
  • In a 3-4 quart pan, combine oil, onion, carrot, and 1 cup of the the chicken broth. Bring to a boil over high heat; boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates and vegetables begin to brown (about 10 minutes). To deglaze, add 3 tbsp water and stir to scrape browned bit free. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to brown again. Repeat deglazing and browning steps 2 more times, using 3 tbsp water each time; vegetable mixture should be golden brown.
  • Add remaining 4 cups chicken broth. Stir to scrape browned bits free. Stir in tomato purée, basil, sugar, and white pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until vegetables are very tender to bite (about 20 min).
  • Whirl mixture, a portion at a time, in a food processor or blender until smoothly puréed. Return to pan; bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • To serve, ladle into bowls and top each serving with 2 croutons. Pass remaining croutons.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, in-season tomatoes. This will ensure the best flavor.
  • Roast the tomatoes before making the soup. This concentrates their flavor and makes them sweeter.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes. This will give the soup a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when roasting the tomatoes. This will prevent them from roasting evenly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will also help to enhance the flavor of the soup.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. This will add a creamy richness and a pop of freshness to the soup.

Conclusion:

Sunset tomato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The roasted tomatoes give the soup a rich and flavorful taste, and the addition of cream or yogurt makes it creamy and comforting. This soup is also a great way to use up any leftover tomatoes you may have. So next time you have a bunch of ripe tomatoes, give this soup a try!
