EASY THREE-INGREDIENT TOMATO SOUP



Easy Three-Ingredient Tomato Soup image

You only need three main ingredients to make this velvety, rich tomato soup recipe. This, friends is your new favorite weeknight meal.

Provided by Adam and Joanne Gallagher

Categories     Dinner, Soup

Time 45m

Yield Makes 2 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 large onion, cut into large wedges
1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes, we prefer to use whole peeled or crushed, see notes for fresh tomatoes
1 ½ cups water, low sodium vegetable stock, or chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a Dutch oven or large saucepan.
  • Add onion wedges, water, can of tomatoes with their juices, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally and add additional salt as needed.
  • Blend the soup, and then season to taste. The soup doesn't need to be ultra-smooth, some texture is a nice touch. An immersion blender does make quick work of this, or you can use a blender. If you use a regular blender, it is best to blend in batches and not fill the blender as much as you usually would since the soup is so hot. We like to remove the center insert of the lid and cover it with a kitchen towel while blending - this helps to release some of the steam and prevents the blender lid from popping off (which can be a big, hot mess).

BEST TOMATO SOUP EVER



Best Tomato Soup Ever image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium white or yellow onion
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
Two 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes
One 46-ounce bottle or can tomato juice
3 to 6 tablespoons sugar
1 or 2 tablespoons chicken base, or 3 chicken bouillon cubes
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sherry, optional
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • To begin, dice the onion. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven. Throw in the onion and cook until translucent.
  • Now dump in the diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the tomato juice.
  • Next - and this is important - in order to combat the acidity of the tomatoes add 3 to 6 tablespoons of sugar. Now, you'll want to start on the low side, then taste and add more as needed. Some tomatoes and juice have more of an acidic bite than others. (For what it's worth, and I realize it's not worth much, I use 6 tablespoons of sugar.)
  • Next, add 1 or 2 tablespoons chicken base to the pot. I added 3, and it wound up being a little too much.
  • Now you can add lots of freshly ground black pepper. Stir to combine, then heat almost to a boil. Then turn off the heat.
  • Add in the sherry if desired. Stir in the cream. Add the basil and parsley and stir.
  • Serve the soup warm!

FIREHOUSE TOMATO SAUCE



Firehouse Tomato Sauce image

We were shopping at a local grocery store near the firehouse trying to decide on dinner and I decided to make some pasta with tomato sauce and meatballs. I used only what was available in this store and it came out fantastic. The San Marzano canned tomatoes are a little bit pricier but you seriously can taste the difference and it's worth it. The cola sounds weird but it's an old tip from a culinary instructor and I prefer it to straight sugar. For me adding meat to this in the last hour really makes the flavor better but I'll post that later under another recipe. On it's own its still a great sauce. I adapted this to a gluten free version for my girlfriend, for those interested check it out.

Categories     Sauces

Time 3h20m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (48 ounce) can san marzano tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste
2 plum tomatoes
1 small onion (I used vidalia)
1 small shallot
1/8 cup butter
1/2 cup water (I like to use the empty tomato can for flavor)
8 ounces cola
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup cola (If you like it sweeter, add a bit more)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic (more for others who love garlic)
2 tablespoons fresh basil
1 1/2 tablespoons italian seasoning (oregno,rosemary,thyme, etc)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (If you like heat kick it up)
salt or pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Heat oil in a skillet under low heat add onions and shallot. Saute until lightly translucent and soft.
  • Slice Plum tomatoes lengthwise, sprinkle with salt and olive oil. Bake for 10mins on each side or until browned.
  • Add garlic, stir often and be very careful to watch for burning, about 2 minutes If you see spots of garlic getting brown add small splashes of water over them. Once the garlic is done add the tomato paste, herbs, pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and mix until the paste and onions are blended, another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, roasted plum tomatoes, cola, water and butter. Bring to a light simmer for 3 hours Do net let it boil. After 2 hrs taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, before that the flavors have not concentrated. For texture I mashed it with a potato masher, if you prefer it chunky disregard.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta and enjoy.

FIRE ROASTED TOMATO BASIL SOUP



Fire Roasted Tomato Basil Soup image

If you have ever had Carabba's new fire roasted tomato soup, this recipe is exactly what you are looking for. This soup is not only delicious but simple to make.

Provided by savini97

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 (14 ounce) cans of hunt's fire-roasted tomatoes
5 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 yellow onion (diced)
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 tablespoon sugar (optional)
2 ounces olive oil
15 -20 fresh basil leaves (rolled and cut into a chiffonade)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a heavy pot on medium high heat, pour in the olive oil and throw in the onion until translucent.
  • Add the chopped garlic and heat with the onion for about four minutes.
  • Next, add the cans of fire roasted tomatoes including the juice to the pan and cover for about 15 minute **Make sure you stir your mixture every few minutes**.
  • With the lid off the pan, add the chicken broth and heavy whipping cream and bring the pot to a simmer. The mixture should start to thicken as it reduces. This should take about 10 minute You want the soup to be somewhat thicken but not soupy. If your soup is a bit thin, let it simmer a bit longer while occasionally stirring.
  • When it comes to the right consistency, add the fresh basil (reserve some for a garnish) and season to taste with the salt and pepper. Lower your heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes more.
  • Now it's time to get out your blender.
  • With a ladel, place the soup mixture in the blender and puree until smooth. You can do this in batches as well. Please use caution when handling the mixture and blender as it could burn your hand as you press down on the lid. I suggest using a small kitchen towel to prevent this.
  • After the soup is smooth, pour the soup back into the original pan and check for consistency.
  • Serve with a small sprinkle of the reserved bail as a garnish.
  • Excellent with crusted bread or toasted crostinis.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use Roma tomatoes: They are the best tomatoes for this soup because they are meaty and have fewer seeds.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them sweeter.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: It will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
  • Don't overcook the soup: It should simmer for just 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh basil or parsley: It will add a pop of color and flavor.

This firehouse tomato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its rich and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
