Creamytomatosoup Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, over medium heat, saute onions in butter until translucent. Remove from the heat. Stir in the flour so that no lumps remain, then slowly whisk in the tomato juice. Return to the heat and add salt to taste. Cook until just boiling but turn off the heat before it boils. Let cool 10 minutes then slowly stir in milk. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan.
• Saute celery, carrots and onions in melted butter until tender.
• Stir in flour.
• Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add the tomatoes, sugar, basil, marjoram, bay leaf and chicken stock.
• Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat and discard bay leaf.
• Puree well (in batches) in a food processor or blender, or use a thunderstick.

• Reheat to serve hot, or refrigerate and serve cold later. It also works at room temperature, but I like warm to hot best.

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:

• Combine broth and tomatoes in a medium saucepan over moderate heat. When soup bubbles, stir in heavy cream and reduce heat to low. Season with a little salt and pepper and simmer gently 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. With an immersion blender, puree soup. Serve bowls of soup with basil chiffonade and floating Soup Toppers.
• Toast bread slices in your toaster until golden. Rub the toasted bread rounds with crushed garlic, if using. Arrange bread on cookie or baking sheet. Drizzle each slice with extra-virgin oil and top with a grind of black pepper and a layer of shredded cheese. Place under hot broiler to melt cheese until toppers are golden brown in color.

Steps:

• Place a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until just fragrant. Place 8 quarters of the bread into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds on each side. Remove the bread and set aside for serving.
• Add the garlic, onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions start to lose their color and soften, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook until caramelized, about 1 minute more. Pour in the vegetable stock, canned tomatoes and basil and stir to combine. Swirl 1/2 cup water in each can of tomatoes and pour into the soup. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the onions are soft, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rip the remaining bread into bite-size pieces and submerge them in the cream in a medium bowl.
• Puree the soup until smooth using an immersion blender. Add the cream and bread. Puree again until free of any lumps. Stir in the honey and taste for seasoning. Serve warm, each bowl topped with an olive oil crouton.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp and most of the fat has rendered, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Lower the heat to medium, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and crush the tomatoes through your fingers into the pan. Bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Tie the parsley sprigs, thyme, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Remove and discard the herb bundle. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the puree to the pot and reheat over medium heat.

Nestle the Parmesan rind and basil in the soup and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring often to prevent the rind from sticking to the bottom of the pan, for about 25 minutes.

Simmer until flavors meld and soup reduces to about 2 quarts (8 cups), 45-55 minutes. Remove soup from heat; let cool slightly. Discard thyme sprigs. Working in small batches, purée soup in a blender until smooth. Return to pot. DO AHEAD: Soup can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool slightly, cover, and chill. Rewarm before continuing.

Steps:

• 1. Melt the butter with the oil over low heat in a pot.

Cover and simmer for 15 mins until the potato is tender, then remove the bay leaves. Purée with a stick blender (or ladle into a blender in batches) until very smooth. Season to taste and add a pinch more sugar if it needs it. The soup can now be cooled and chilled for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
