NORDSTROM'S TOMATO BASIL SOUP, SMALL BATCH



Nordstrom's Tomato Basil Soup, Small Batch image

If you don't want to make many gallons of this soup, here's a version scaled down for the home cook, adapted from Serious Eats. I use Mexican crema instead of cream, tempered with a bit of the hot soup before adding. Make sure to use dried basil, it won't work well at all with fresh because of the cooking time. Although this allegedly makes 4 servings, I got 6 generous bowls of soup.

4 large carrots, peeled and diced
1 large onion, sliced
1 tablespoon dried basil, crushed

Steps:

  • Add tomatoes and broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Allow the soup to cool somewhat, then purée until smooth in a blender or food processor or using an immersion blender. Strain the purée before returning to the pot for a smoother texture.
