Time 1h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 medium eggplant, peeled and cut 1/2 inch cubes
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried chili
3 cups canned crushed tomatoes in puree
4 cups water
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
8 -10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 cups French bread (toasted or stale) or 3 cups Italian bread, cubes (toasted or stale)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large non-reactive saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the onions,peppers and the eggplant.
  • Saute 2 minutes Add the garlic,oregano and chilies and continue to saute until softened.
  • Add the tomatoes and water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer 35-40 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • Add the parmesan,basil,vinegar and bread cubes to soak into the soup and thicken the mixture before serving,about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant: Look for eggplants that are firm and heavy for their size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants that are soft or have blemishes, as these may be overripe or damaged.
  • Salting the eggplant: Salting the eggplant before cooking helps to remove some of the bitterness and excess moisture. Be sure to rinse the eggplant thoroughly after salting to remove any excess salt.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this soup, so be sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil. This will give the soup a rich, flavorful base.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the eggplant and vegetables, be sure to do it in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the vegetables from browning properly.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is another important ingredient in this soup, so be sure to use a good quality broth. This will give the soup a rich, flavorful base.
  • Simmer the soup gently: Once all of the ingredients have been added to the soup, bring it to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: This soup is delicious served with crusty bread or crackers for dipping. You can also garnish the soup with grated Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano.

Conclusion:

Eggplant Parmesan soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
