BAREFOOT CONTESSA CREAM OF FRESH TOMATO SOUP



Barefoot Contessa Cream of Fresh Tomato Soup image

This is VERY delicious, wonderful comfort food on an early Fall day! I don't have a food mill, so used an immersion blender and then a colander for straining. I suppose a blender or food processor would work as well, using a colander for straining. This freezes well,(without adding the cream), thawed it out, heated, then added the cream. This is adapted from Barefoot Contessa, Back To Basics, I love Ina Garten! Hope you enjoy.

EASY FARMSTAND FRESH CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP



Easy Farmstand Fresh Cream of Tomato Soup image

Posting this for safekeeping, since I'm postively drowning in recipe clippings and cards. I don't usually like cream soups, but this one I love! Recipe from Wilson Farms in Lexington MA. Servings are a guess.

Provided by Muffin Goddess

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups chicken broth
4 cups ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped (approx. 5 large tomatoes)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped sweet onion
1/2 cup coarsely chopped celery (I usually use about 3 large ribs)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2-1 cup light cream
1 tablespoon fresh basil (optional) or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients except the cream and basil or dill (if using) in a large saucepan. Simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until veggies are soft.
  • Using an immersion blender, puree the veggie mixture to your preferred smoothness (I like to have some tomato chunks in it, so I leave it a little chunky. If I accidentally over-puree it, I'll cheat and add a small can of diced tomatoes).
  • Add light cream (start with 1/2 cup and add more to taste -- amount will depend on flavor of the tomatoes). Heat soup gently over low heat.
  • Before serving, stir in fresh herbs (if using), and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve soup hot or chilled, whichever you prefer (hot is my preference).

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slightly sweet aroma.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a burst of flavor to the soup. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: Overcooked tomatoes will lose their flavor and become mushy. Cook the tomatoes just until they are softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of the two.
  • Season to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

Fresh tomato cream soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its creamy texture and rich tomato flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you have a craving for soup, give this recipe a try!
