Categories     appetizer

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 1/2 pounds tomatoes, cored and chopped
Kosher salt
1 cup tomato juice
3 sprigs fresh basil, plus chopped leaves for topping
5 cups cubed day-old country bread (crusts removed)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium, add the tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until juicy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato juice, basil sprigs and 3 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes are very soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add 3 cups bread cubes and return the soup to a simmer. Cook, mashing the bread with a wooden spoon, until broken down, 5 to 7 minutes. Discard the basil sprigs. Stir in the vinegar. Working in two batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth, adding 2 tablespoons olive oil per batch. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 2 cups bread cubes; cook, tossing, until golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Season the soup with salt; top with the croutons and chopped basil.

COLD TOMATO SOUP



Cold Tomato Soup image

The most beautiful tomatoes may not always be the best ones. Often, it's the gnarly, misshapen, split-topped tomatoes that are the sweetest. You can also seek out the nearly overripe must-sell-today tomatoes, which can sometimes be found discounted at farmers markets. Those are perfect for this kind of chilled soup, a no-cook delight that is best made at the end of summer when tomatoes are at their best. Add toast and avocado for a more substantial meal.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 pounds ripe red tomatoes, cored and diced
4 large garlic cloves, sliced
1 tablespoon kosher salt, more if necessary
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Black pepper, to taste
Generous pinch cayenne
1 cup finely diced bell peppers, preferably a mix of colors
1/2 cup finely diced sweet onion, such as Vidalia
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
6 slices freshly toasted French bread or ciabatta
1 garlic clove
1 firm ripe avocado
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Put tomatoes and garlic in a non-reactive bowl and sprinkle with salt. Add 4 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the black pepper and cayenne. Mix well and leave to macerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Pulse tomatoes in a food processor or blender until just crushed. Transfer to a strainer or food mill to remove skins and seeds, pressing well to obtain all the juices. You should have about 5 cups. Add enough ice water to yield 6 cups. Stir well, taste and adjust seasoning. Chill on a bowl of ice for 15 minutes or refrigerate for up to several hours.
  • Make the pepper relish about 30 minutes before serving: Put diced bell peppers and onions in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar, mix well and set aside.
  • To serve, rub each toast lightly with garlic. Top toasts with thick slices of avocado and season with salt and pepper. Place an avocado toast in each bowl and ladle in about 1 cup of chilled soup per serving. Garnish with a generous spoonful of pepper relish and a sprinkling of parsley and chives.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your soup will be. If you can, use tomatoes that are in season and locally grown.
  • Roast the tomatoes before blending: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a smoky, roasted flavor. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. If you can, make your own vegetable broth using fresh vegetables.
  • Season the soup to taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for a little tang.
  • Serve the soup chilled or at room temperature: This soup is best served chilled or at room temperature. You can also make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This chilled spicy tomato soup is a refreshing and flavorful soup that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have a craving for soup, give this chilled spicy tomato soup a try!
