Best 6 Creamy Tomatobasil Soup With A Twist Recipes

CREAMY TOMATO BASIL SOUP

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!

CREAMY TOMATO BASIL SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add the tomatoes and simmer until the potatoes and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, discard the thyme and let cool at least 5 minutes. Stir in the basil and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full per batch).
• Stir in the cream and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency and seasoning with additional water, salt and pepper.
• Serve hot sprinkled with croutons and basil.

CREAMY TOMATO/BASIL SOUP WITH A TWIST

Steps:

• 1. In a dutch oven, or cast iron pot (I love cast iron), heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
• 2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
• 3. Add diced onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 8 minutes.
• 4. Chef's Note: I don't think I need to tell you this, but don't let the garlic, or the onion burn... If you do, you'll be starting over. Keep an eye on that pot, and keep stirring until the onions begin to slightly brown.
• 5. Add the peeled tomatoes (along with any juices), plus the chicken stock, baking soda and sugar.
• 6. Chef's Tip: What's with the baking soda. Tomatoes are acidic, and baking soda lowers acidic levels... by adding a bit of it to the soup, it smoothes out the flavors, and creates a more mellow flavor. When I'm making tomato dishes, I will taste the tomatoes before adding them to the dish, and if they taste more acid, I will add a bit more baking soda, but the amount in this recipe is a good place to start.
• 7. Chef's Note: I am well aware that not all seasons are favorable to garden fresh tomatoes. If canned is the way you need to go, then let me recommend my absolute favorite canned tomatoes for this recipe: Cento: San Marzano Certified Peeled Tomatoes. They are not the cheapest canned tomatoes on the market, but when it comes to this soup, I can't tell the difference between fresh and these. Oh, 3.5 pounds of fresh tomatoes would translate to two 28 ounce cans of tomatoes.
• 8. Bring to a slow simmer, and allow the tomato base to cook, uncovered for about 10 minutes.
• 9. Chef's Note: As the soup is simmering, use a wooden spoon to break apart the tomatoes, into the sauce.
• 10. Remove the tomato base to a blender, or a food processor fitted with an S-blade.
• 11. Add the half & half, buttermilk, basil, and oregano to the mix and blend until smooth.
• 12. Chef's Tip: What's a chiffonade? To chiffonade the basil, you would stack the basil leaves and roll them into a tube, and then carefully cut across the ends of the tube with your knife to produce fine strips.
• 13. Stop and taste... then season with salt and pepper.
• 14. Blend, season, and taste... Blend, season, and taste, until you like what you taste.
• 15. Chef's Note: All good chefs taste as they are cooking. Oh and no double dipping please. If you use a spoon to taste with (unless it's a tasting spoon), always use a new spoon or wash the one you used. Chefs may be good cooks, but they still have germs.
• 16. Return the blended soup to the pot, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
• 17. Serving Tip: I do believe it's a law that you can't serve tomato soup without a grilled cheese on the side. With that said, I usually put the soup in a nice clear or white bowl, add some homemade basil/tomato croutons, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Enjoy.
• 18. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
