VERY BASIC BUT YUM TOMATO SOUP RECIPE
My mom has been gardening this Summer and is currently on an 8 week no solid foods diet due to dental surgery; so has been experimenting with different garden soups!
Here's a favorite:Ingredients:
-> 4-6 large garden tomatoes (or an equivalent amount of smaller tomatoes, Roma tomatoes would also work nicely)
-> 1 red pepper
-> 1/2 onion (use less or omit if preferred)
-> 1 clove of garlic
-> 1 cup chicken broth
-> 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
-> Olive oil for cooking
-> 1 tsp sugar (optional, for a sweeter soup, I prefer a little sugar in my tomato soup as it cuts down on acidity!)
-> Spices: Salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, oregano (to taste)
-> Optional Adds: Parmesan, Fresh Basil, Red-Pepper FlakesInstructions:
Cook the Vegetables:
Chop the tomatoes, red pepper, and onion.
Stovetop Method: In a large pan with a little olive oil, cook the vegetables in the following order until softened: onion, then red pepper, then tomatoes. Mince the garlic and add it towards the end of the cooking time, sautéing for just a minute until fragrant to prevent burning.
Oven Method: Toss the chopped onion, red pepper, and tomatoes with olive oil and roast at 400* F (200* C) for 20-30 minutes, or until softened. It is recommended to mince the garlic and cook it separately in a pan on the stove to avoid burning it in the oven.
Combine and Boil:
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a large pot.
Pour in the chicken broth, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Blend:
Once boiling, reduce the heat.
Carefully use an immersion blender (hand-blender) to blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Finish and Season:
Stir in the heavy whipping cream.
Season to taste with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano.
If you prefer a sweeter soup, add the teaspoon of sugar and stir until dissolved. Serve warm.
Optional Customizations: A little Parmesan on top is good, if you have fresh basil that is also good, and if you like a little heat some red-pepper flakes are also good! If you prefer you soup thinner or thicker, you can adjust the amount of chicken broth.
