Creamed Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic (if using), stirring constantly, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, their juices, and stock. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
• Working in batches, transfer tomato mixture to a blender, food processor, or food mill. Puree tomato mixture (if using a blender, cover the lid with a kitchen towel while machine is running).
• Return soup to a clean pot and set over low heat. Whisk in cream, if desired; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or transfer soup to a bowl set over an ice-water bath to cool completely. Transfer cooled soup to an airtight container and refrigerate. Reheat over medium heat until heated through.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the cream, thyme and cinnamon stick to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• As cream comes to a simmer, drain the tomatoes (no need to rinse), discarding the juices. Add the whole tomatoes to the saucepan and bring to a simmer, breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the cream is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• To eat, place a slice of toast in a shallow bowl or rimmed plate, and spoon the tomatoes and plenty of cream over the toast. Season with more black pepper, if you like.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, saute onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat. Make sure it doesn't burn. Add tomatoes, basil, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to boil and continue to boil 5 minutes or until most of the liquid evaporates. Remove from heat; stir in whipping cream and butter. Reduce heat and simmer 5 more minutes.

Steps:

• Pour tomatoes in a saucepan or skillet.
• Add butter.
• Simmer over medium heat about 15 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender. (If using juice, then just bring it up to a simmer, and continue.).
• After tomatoes are tender, mix your flour and milk in a bowl until smooth, and add to tomatoes, stirring well.
• Add salt, pepper, and sugar to taste.
• If it's too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, either simmer on low until it's the desired thickness, or mix up a bit more flour and milk and add to your tomatoes.
• That's it! Serve over homemade biscuits, cornbread, potatoes, or whatever you like!

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and carrots and saute for about 10 minutes, until very tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, sugar, tomato paste, basil, chicken stock, salt, and pepper and stir well. Bring the soup to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes, until the tomatoes are very tender.
• Add the cream to the soup and process it through a food mill into a bowl, discarding only the dry pulp that's left. Reheat the soup over low heat just until hot and serve with julienned basil leaves and/or croutons.

Steps:

• Place the cream in a small pot and reduce by half by gently simmering 20 minutes.
• Heat a medium skillet with olive oil over medium heat, add onions and garlic, season with salt and pepper and saute until translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the spinach by wringing dry in clean kitchen towel. Separate the spinach with your hands and add to onions and garlic. Season spinach with nutmeg then stir in the reduced cream. Adjust flavor with salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler.
• Trim the tops off tomatoes and scoop out the seeds. Stuff tomatoes with creamed spinach and top each with 1/4 cup blue cheese. Broil to brown the cheese. Garnish the tomatoes with chives.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare drop biscuits and place them in a warm oven while you make the creamed tomatoes - or put them on a plate and cover with a clean towel
• 2. Peel and cut up tomatoes over a bowl to reserve the juice. Add juice and tomatoes to a 2 quart saucepan and add 1/2 c. water. Cook slowly over medim heat
• 3. Add the cold milk to a small cup, sprinkle with the flour and shake together until fairly smooth. Strain to remove lumps. Stir slowly in a thin, steady stream, into the hot tomatoes until it thickens and doesn't taste floury. Add margarine and sugar and salt and/or pepper to taste.
• 4. Place biscuit on plate, split in half and ladle creamed tomatoes over them. Enjoy. Little ones may like it a bit sweeter - add more sugar to taste.
