Tomato And Zucchini Cream Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the zucchini and garlic in the skillet until lightly browned. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• In a blender or food processor, puree the tomatoes, onion, and chile pepper, leaving a few small chunks.
• In a large pot, mix the tomato puree and vegetable broth. Season with tarragon, dill, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and mix in the zucchini and garlic. Cover, and cook 45 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute onion, celery, garlic and green pepper in oil until tender. Add zucchini, tomatoes, broth, basil and thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in cream; heat through. Serve hot or cold.

Steps:

• In a large colander, sprinkle salt over zucchini slices. Let stand 30 minutes to drain then pat dry.
• In a stockpot, heat vegetable oil over medium high heat. Sautee zucchini onion and garlic in the hot oil for about 10 minutes or until onions are translucent. Stir in the chicken broth and tomato; simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the broth using a slotted spoon and puree them in a blender or food processor.
• Return the pureed vegetables to the stockpot and stir in the lemon juice, sugar, oregano, basil, parsley and nutmeg. Season with Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute zucchini and onion in oil until crisp-tender. Sprinkle with salt. Add the V8 juice, tomato, pepper and basil; cook until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon if desired.

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:

• Saute onion in butter in a large saucepan until tender. Add the zucchini and broth; stir well. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until the zucchini is tender.
• Use an immersion blender to puree the zucchini/onion mix, or place in a blender.
• Return the pureed mixture to the saucepan. Stir in half and half and seasonings. Cook zucchini mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thoroughly heated. Ladle soup into individual soup bowls. Sprinkle evenly with shredded Cheddar cheese.

Steps:

• Add oil to skillet. When oil is hot, add the garlic and saute 30 seconds.
• Add zucchini and stir-fry two minutes.
• Add tomatoes and saute for three minutes. Then add tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste first and, if necessary, add salt and sugar. (Mr. Perlman suggests adding the sugar only to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes.)
• Just before serving, add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese; cook for five minutes. Serve with the pasta prepared al dente.

Steps:

• Melt margarine in a saucepan.
• Cook celery, onions, carrots, garlic, zucchini and tomatoes 7 to 10 minutes, without letting them get colors.

• Season with basil. Add salt and pepper. Bring to boil.
• Reduce heat and let simmer 1 hour.
• Reduce in puree in a blender until creamy.
• Put back in the saucepan and add milk.
• Let simmer 2 to 3 minutes, just to reheat.
