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.

CREAM OF FRESH TOMATO SOUP



Cream of Fresh Tomato Soup image

Savor Ina Garten's pureed Cream of Fresh Tomato Soup recipe from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network using fresh vine-ripe tomatoes, rich cream and fresh basil.

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 1h15m

Yield 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped red onions (2 onions)
2 carrots, unpeeled and chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
4 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, coarsely chopped (5 large)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup packed chopped fresh basil leaves, plus julienned basil leaves, for garnish
3 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream
Croutons, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and carrots and saute for about 10 minutes, until very tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, sugar, tomato paste, basil, chicken stock, salt, and pepper and stir well. Bring the soup to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes, until the tomatoes are very tender.
  • Add the cream to the soup and process it through a food mill into a bowl, discarding only the dry pulp that's left. Reheat the soup over low heat just until hot and serve with julienned basil leaves and/or croutons.

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken or vegetable stock instead of water. - To make the soup creamier, add a tablespoon or two of heavy cream or sour cream just before serving. - If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs that you would fresh herbs. - This soup is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Just chop up any leftover vegetables that you have and add them to the soup. - Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Conclusion:

This creamy tomato and summer herb soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a summer meal. The soup is packed with fresh vegetables and herbs, and it has a creamy, velvety texture. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping, and enjoy!
