Steps:
- Soup In a large pot, add the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the sliced onions and turn the heat down to low and cook them for 40 to 60 minutes. You want them to just begin to caramelize. They should still be yellow in colour but you should be able to see a little bit a brown caramel colour on some of the onion. Add in the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the tomato purée, water, basil, thyme, sea salt, pepper and bring to a simmer. Once its reached a simmer turn the heat off and let the pot sit on the burner, while you prepare the rest of the recipe. Horseradish Dressing I like to use a food processor to make this type of dressing, but you could also use a blender or an immersion hand blender. Essentially, you are making a mayonnaise first, so you need some type of device to make it work. Add the whole egg, Dijon mustard, raw honey, apple cider vinegar to your food processor. Measure out your oil and have it ready to pour. Start the food processor and very gradually start to trickle in the oil. The mixture will be rather fluid right up until the end. You'll even hear the difference as the food processor is running. Once you've poured all your oil in, the mixture should have thickened and you can turn off the food processor. Remove the mayonnaise into a medium sized bowl and add in the lemon juice and zest, horseradish and finally season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir it all together and your creamy dressing is ready to use. Toppings/Assembly In this recipe I chose to do the soup and salad all in one, but you could also plate the baby arugula separately from the soup. Pour the hot tomato onion soup in a bowl and add a generous handful of the baby arugula on top of the soup, add the egg, sprinkle with some chopped roasted hazelnuts and drizzle with the horseradish dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your soup has a rich, sweet flavor.
- Use a variety of onions. White, yellow, and red onions will all add different flavors to your soup.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Cumin, coriander, and paprika are all great additions to onion tomato soup.
- If you like a creamy soup, you can add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream before serving.
- Serve your soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
Conclusion:
Onion tomato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its simple ingredients and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give onion tomato soup a try.
