Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes in juice (with basil if available)

Steps:

  • In a 5-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat; add oil and onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and tomato paste; cook 1 minute.
  • To saucepan, add thyme, broth, and tomatoes, breaking up tomatoes with your fingers. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, 30 minutes. (Remove thyme sprigs before blending.)
  • Using an immersion blender, puree soup in pot, leaving a fair amount of the tomatoes in chunks. Or, working in several batches, puree half (5 cups) of the soup in a conventional blender until smooth; return to pot. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

TOMATO AND BEAN SOUP



Tomato and Bean Soup image

This is one of those make loads and eat for days recipes - easy and tasty. If you absolutely must, you can use canned tomatoes - but only if you can't get fresh tomatoes. I got the original recipe from Australian Women's Weekly Low Fat Meals in Minutes book.

Categories     Beans

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large yellow onion
garlic clove, crushed (to taste, personally I put in a whole bulb)
1 kg tomatoes, ripe, chopped coarsely
500 ml chicken stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 dash Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
800 g beans, canned, different varieties

Steps:

  • Fry onion and garlic in a pan, until onion is soft.
  • Stir in the chopped tomatoes, stir more until tomatoes are soft.
  • Add stock and the sauces, bring to boil and let simmer covered for 30 minutes. If you like your tomato soup smooth, you can blend the soup after this point. I like mine chunky.
  • Stir in parsley and the beans. Simmer uncovered for five minutes or so, until the beans are hot.
