Monday Recipe: Fresh Tomato Soup | Peace, Baby! Batiks
I love today’s recipe so much that it is taped inside my cupboard door so I can always find it. I got it online several years ago when I wanted to make tomato soup but didn’t have onions. I don’t remember the source of the recipe, but apparently this is what comes up when you search for “tomato soup without onions.”
I make this soup year round, cheating by using a 28-oz can (or two) of crushed tomatoes. They’re a good substitute in the winter and spring months when good tomatoes are just not available.
Fresh Tomato Soup
2 lb. tomatoes 1/2 c vegetable broth
Wash and stem tomatoes. Fill a large pot full of water and bring to a boil. Blanche the tomatoes by dipping them in the boiling water for 10-15 seconds. Plunge tomatoes into cold water (ice water, preferably). Let cool just a bit and carefully remove skins. Dice.
In a large saucepan, heat butter and add tomatoes. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and run through a blender. (I use an immersion blender right in the pan; just watch for splattering. It’s hot.)
Return tomatoes to pan. Sprinkle with flour, salt, sugar and pepper. Stir well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add water, then broth. Heat to simmering.
Garnish with butter and fresh parsley, and serve with crackers. Serves 6.
Variations
I like to add a couple of cups of cooked macaroni to the soup. Here are more variations from the original recipe:
Serve with croutons.
Fresh tomatoes = tomato basil soup. Love this recipe, use less oil, salt, and use LS veg broth instead. Still awesome!
