Provided by Lauren Allen

Categories     Appetizer     Main Course     Soup

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 14.5 ounce cans diced tomatoes (, with the juice)
2 carrots (, finely diced (about 1 cup))
1 small onion (, finely diced (about 1 cup))
3 ribs celery (, finely diced (about 1 cup))
2 Tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
½ cup butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1½ cups half and half ((or whole milk))
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Add oil to a large soup pot over medium high heat. Once hot, add carrots, onions, and celery and sauté them for a few minutes.
  • Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, oregano, and dried basil. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for several minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  • Use an immersion blender or regular blender (you may need to do this in batches, depending on how big your blender is) to puree the soup until smooth. (This step is optional, if you like a smooth soup). Return it to the soup pot.
  • In a separate pot, prepare the roux. Add butter to the pot over medium low heat and allow to melt. Stir in the flour and whisk together constantly for about 10 minutes or until the roux is a nice golden brown color.
  • Add a big ladle full of the soup to the roux--it will start to form a thick paste. Add a few more big scoops of soup to the roux and stir well until smooth. Add the roux mixture to soup pot and stir to combine.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese, half and half, salt, pepper and basil. Add additional oregano and basil if needed, to taste. Stir well. Cook for a few more minutes until warmed through.
  • Store tomato basil soup covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Try it served in a yummy homemade bread bowl!

3 tablespoons olive oil

CREAMY TOMATO SOUP- FROM SCRATCH



Creamy Tomato Soup- from scratch image

Another 'made from scratch' family favorite. The hardest part is cutting all of the tomatoes! I like to use Roma but any tomatoe you like will do. The half and half really adds great texture to the soup so don't cheat and add skim milk or other low fat milk. It will really take away from the great taste of the soup. The touch of cloves adds a special taste that will not be missed. A must have in this soup!

Tips:

  • Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Fresh, juicy tomatoes will yield the best flavor.
  • Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup. Roasting intensifies their flavor and sweetness.
  • Use a good quality chicken or vegetable broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure it's flavorful and well-seasoned.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. A little bit of garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika can add a lot of flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
