Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 small onions, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 pounds ripe summer tomatoes (4 cups chopped)
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 cup fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and cook, stirring, until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add wine, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook just until tomatoes are falling apart, about 5 minutes. Stir in basil, and remove from heat.
  • Let cool slightly. Transfer tomato mixture to a blender, filling the jar no more than halfway; work in batches if necessary. Cover lid with a clean dish towel, and press lid securely in place while blending soup.
  • Return soup to saucepan. Add cream, and adjust consistency with water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper.

CREAMY TOMATO AND SUMMER HERB SOUP



Creamy Tomato and Summer Herb Soup image

This creamy tomato and summer herb soup takes less than 25 minutes to prepare and can be served hot or cold. I prefer it hot. It is bursting with flavor and contains a full serving of vegetables in each bowl. Tarragon is the herb of choice in this version of the recipe, but chopped basil or even mint would work, too. While some creamy soups are made with heavy cream or sour cream, this one gets a rich, tangy flavor from a modest amount of reduced-fat sour cream. If you like, you can use low-fat plain yogurt instead. The soup is best when made with ripe tomatoes, but a 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes with their juices can be substituted in a pinch. For a complete light meal, serve this soup with a salad and a few slices of grilled whole-grain baguette.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 39m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large ripe tomatoes (1 pound)
1 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons minced onions
2 cups calcium-enriched soymilk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel the tomatoes by dipping them in boiling water for about 30 seconds.
  • This loosens the skin and makes it easy to remove.
  • Cut the peeled tomatoes in half crosswise and squeeze out the seeds, carefully removing any remaining seeds with a small spoon.
  • Dice the tomatoes and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are very soft, for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and spoon the tomato mixture into a blender and puree.
  • Add the soy milk and all of the remaining ingredients to the blender and puree.
  • At this point you can pour the soup back into the saucepan and heat it to the desired temperature; or you can serve it at room temperature or refrigerate it and serve it cold.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best flavor. Farmers' market tomatoes are usually the best choices, but use what you have available.
  • Use a food mill or immersion blender to remove the tomato skins. This will give the soup a smoother texture.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A little bit of basil, thyme, or oregano can really brighten up the flavor of the soup.
  • Serve the soup chilled or at room temperature. It's also delicious served warm, but let it cool slightly before serving so that the cream doesn't curdle.

Conclusion:

This creamy summer tomato soup is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of summer. It's easy to make and can be served chilled or at room temperature, making it the perfect soup for a hot day. With a few simple tips, you can make this soup even more flavorful and delicious.
