GARDEN FRESH TOMATO SOUP



Garden Fresh Tomato Soup image

I really enjoy this soup. It has a nice buttery taste to it. I happen to come across this good, basic, tomato soup recipe at allrecipes, but I did tweak the recipe just a bit to suit my taste. This recipe is great for those who want to use up the numerous tomatoes they have in their vegetable garden. By the way, you can also...

Categories     Vegetable Soup

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
1 onion finely chopped (1/2 of one large onion)
4 whole cloves, or use 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablesp. butter (l used 3 tablespoons)
2 tablesp. flour (l used 3 tablespoons)
1 tsp. salt (l only used 1/2 teaspoon)
2 tsp. granulated sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a large stockpot over medium heat, combine the tomatoes, onion, cloves, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, and gently boil for 20 minutes. (If making more than one batch of soup in the stockpot, like I did, I suggest covering the pot with a lid. This allows the vegetables to come to a boil much quicker. And after the vegetables come to a boil, remove the lid, and then I gently boil the vegetables for 25 minutes.)
  • 2. Remove the stockpot from the heat, and run the vegetable mixture through a food mill into a large bowl, or pan. (I did try to remove any cloves I spotted, before running mixture through the food mill.) Discard any tomato/onion mixture left over in the food mill.
  • 3. In the now empty stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux, cooking until the roux is light golden brown in color.
  • 4. Quickly whisk in a bit of the tomato mixture, so that no lumps form, then stir in the rest of the tomato juice mixture.
  • 5. Season soup with the salt and sugar.
  • 6. Heat the soup through, then serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your soup. Look for tomatoes that are red, plump, and have a sweet aroma.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of tomatoes. This will add depth and complexity to the flavor of your soup.
  • Add aromatics: Aromatics like garlic, onion, and celery add a savory flavor to the soup. Sauté them in olive oil before adding the tomatoes.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is flavorful and has a rich color.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and herbs until the soup tastes perfect.

Conclusion:

Garden-fresh tomato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a summer meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a soup that is bursting with flavor. So next time you have a bounty of tomatoes, be sure to try this recipe. You won't be disappointed.
