36 -40 ripe tomatoes (skins removed and quartered)

CREAM OF GARDEN TOMATO SOUP - PRESSURE COOKER - WEST



Cream of Garden Tomato Soup - Pressure Cooker - West image

Like most gardners I ended up with more tomatoes than I could use! Was looking for a nice fall weekend lunch and DH wanted grilled cheese sandwiches. Ahhh! Cream of tomato soup! That's what I could make. Looking at my traditional cookbooks, most of the recipes would take about 2 hours and used canned tomatoes. Too long to wait and I had fresh. I looked in my "Pressure Cooker Gourmet" by Victoria Wise and found this gem. The flavor is fabulous and it is extremely easy to make. This recipe lends itself to all kinds of additions...we added a chopped jalapeno and after cooking chopped basil. I strongly recomend the basil. You could also top with a drizzle of sour cream. Add oregano or cumin. All kinds of options with this soup. The cookbook gave a number of options for dealing with the tomato skins. I opted for the easiest and wouldn't do it any other way. I did not peel or seed the tomatoes. When the soup was done cooking I used my immersion blender to puree. The next step was supposed to be running the soup through a food mill, which I did, but there was no peels left to strain. I guess the immersion blender chopped them up. I thought we'd find seeds, but nope. You can peel them if you like, you can also use a blender or food processor to puree. If after pureeing you find any peels, just strain the soup or run through a food mill with the finest blade. This soup also freezes well. And of course the best accompaniment with this soup is a grilled cheese sandwich!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped (you can also use a white onion)
3 lbs tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth or water)
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and butter in the pressure cooker over medium high heat until the butter melts. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and their juices, thyme, salt, pepper, and broth and stir to mix.
  • Lock on the lid and bring to pressure over high heat, about 4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes to finish cooking (this step also lets the cooker cool down so that the later release of steam is minimal).
  • With the steam vent pointed away from your face, gently release any remaining pressure. Let cool enough to remove lid.
  • Use immersion blender to puree soup (or transfer soup to blender or food processor and puree in smaller batches to avoid buring yourself).
  • If after blending you see any chunks of tomato peel, put soup through strainer or food mill to remove.
  • If using right away, place soup in large pan and stir in cream. Reheat gently without boiling then add garnish of choice and serve.
  • If not using right away, store in the refigerator until ready to use; then stir in the cream, heat and serve.

GARDEN TOMATO SOUP



Garden Tomato Soup image

This is a vegetarian tomato soup and you can add more basil if you like. I make it a lot at the restaurant I work in, and it is a favorite of customers and staff. If you want a more intense basil flavor, try adding some fresh chopped basil to the soup just before serving. The longer you cook basil the more the flavor mellows.

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...

Provided by Cindi M Bauer

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:

  • Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your soup. Choose tomatoes that are fully ripe, with a deep red color and no green shoulders. Heirloom tomatoes are a great option, as they often have a more complex flavor than hybrid varieties.
  • Roast the tomatoes before blending: Roasting the tomatoes in the oven intensifies their flavor and sweetness. You can roast them whole, halved, or quartered, depending on your preference. Just be sure to drizzle them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper before roasting.
  • Use a good-quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth you use will also contribute to the flavor of your soup. Choose a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, savory flavor. If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can make your own by simmering vegetables in water.
  • 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. Once the soup has reached a simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.

Conclusion:

Making garden tomato soup is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and enjoy a delicious, healthy meal. This recipe is easy to follow and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your soup thick or thin, spicy or mild, there are endless possibilities for customization. So experiment with different ingredients and seasonings until you find a combination that you love.
