TOMATO SUMMER SQUASH SOUP



Tomato Summer Squash Soup image

This is a great recipe to use food from the summer garden. Although the recipe calls for canned tomatoes, one could add 2 cups fresh tomatoes. I used canned tomatoes with basil, oregano & garlic seasoning. I also sauteed the vegetables in olive oil instead of the broth. DH said this is great!

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 butternut squash (2 1/2 to 3 pounds), halved lengthwise and seeded
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika

Leaves from 4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cans (28 ounces each) fire-roasted tomatoes

Add it to the pot, bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds medium or small zucchini or other summer squash, thinly sliced or diced depending on what shape squash you use
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ripe tomatoes, grated on the large holes of a box grater, or peeled, seeded and diced
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped or slivered fresh basil (to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a wide, heavy skillet. Add the zucchini. Cook, stirring or shaking the pan, until the zucchini is lightly seared and beginning to soften, three to five minutes. Remove from the pan, and set aside.
  • Add the remaining olive oil to the pan, then the garlic. Cook, stirring, just until fragrant -- less than 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes have begun to cook down, about five minutes. Return the zucchini to the pan, add salt and pepper to taste, and reduce the heat to medium.
