This past spring we made an amazing soup l'onion. It was from a recent New York Times Magazine (the original recipe dated to 1908 I think). It involved about 12 onions sweated
2 baguettes
some fancy Gruyère like cheese
and a simple tomato paste. The cheese is baked onto rounds of baguette and layered with the onions and the tomato paste inside of the pot then baked for a while. It was absolutely fantastic
crispy and creamy. It would be well worth it to find this recipe
I couldn't find it in a quick interweeble search
but if i run across it i will send it to you.

Number Of Ingredients 16

BISTRO JEANTY'S CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP WITH PUFF PASTRY
INGREDIENTS:
-- 1/4 pound ( 1/2 cup) + 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-- 1/2 pound yellow onions, sliced
-- 2 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and quartered
-- 6 garlic cloves
-- 1/4 cup tomato paste
-- 1 bay leaf
-- 1/2 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
-- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
-- 1 cup water (use only if tomatoes are not very ripe and juicy)
-- 4 cups heavy cream
-- Salt, to taste
-- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
-- 1 pound puff pastry, defrosted if frozen
-- 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • INSTRUCTIONS: Melt the 1/4 pound butter in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the onions, cover and cook for about 5 minutes. Do not let the onions color. Add the tomatoes, garlic, tomato paste, bay leaf, peppercorns, thyme and water if needed. Simmer over low heat for 30 to 40 minutes, until the tomatoes and onions are very soft. Puree in a blender (working in batches) or use a handheld immersion blender; strain. Return the soup to the pot. Add the cream, salt, white pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Divide among six 8-ounce soup cups or bowls. Roll out the puff pastry to 1/4 inch thick. Cut 6 rounds slightly larger than the top of your cups or bowls. Paint the dough with the egg wash and turn the circles egg-wash-side down over the top of the cups, pulling lightly on the sides to make the dough tight like a drum. Let the soups cool for 2 hours or overnight (in the refrigerator). Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly paint the top of the dough rounds with egg wash without pushing the dough down. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the dough is golden brown (do not open the oven door for the first few minutes or the dough will fall). Serve immediately. Serves 6.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your soup. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Roast the tomatoes before blending: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives the soup a smoky, caramelized taste.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Tomato soup is best when it is simmered gently for just a short time. Overcooking can make the soup watery and bland.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve the soup hot with your favorite garnishes: Some popular garnishes for tomato soup include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and a dollop of crème fraîche.

Conclusion:

French tomato soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed year-round. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it smooth or chunky, spicy or mild, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this French tomato soup a try.
