SPICY GREEN TOMATO SOUP WITH CRAB & COUNTRY HAM



SPICY GREEN TOMATO SOUP WITH CRAB & COUNTRY HAM image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Shellfish     Appetizer     Sauté     Stew     Ham     Potluck

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients
1/2 cup vegetable oil
5 ounces country ham, julienned
2 medium onions, peeled and thinly sliced
6 whole peeled cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
2 jalapenos, stemmed and sliced
4 green anaheims
2 green pasilla chilies
3 1/2 pound firm, green tomatoes, cored and cut into eighths
1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce
Salt
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for cartilage
1 1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
6 tablespoons capers
1/2 cup chopped green onions

Steps:

  • Directions In a large saucepan, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the ham, pan-fry until crispy and golden, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and strain, reserving the oil and ham. Return the oil to the pan and heat. Add the onions and saute until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the onions with salt and pepper. Add the garlic, bay leaves and chilies, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or until the tomatoes soften. Remove the bay leaves. Using a hand-held blender, puree the soup until smooth. Chill the soup. Add the lemon juice and hot sauce. Season with salt. In a mixing bowl, mix the crabmeat, sour cream, tomatoes, capers and green onions together. Season the salad with salt and pepper. To serve, ladle the soup into individual bowls and garnish with the crab salad and crispy ham. The soup can be served either chilled or warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give your soup the best flavor. Fresh tomatoes are available all summer long, so take advantage of them while they're in season.
  • Choose a flavorful crab meat. You can use fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat, or canned crab meat. If you're using fresh crab meat, be sure to remove the shells and veins before using.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is very delicate, so it's important to cook it gently. Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy.
  • 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 cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the soup hot. Tomato crab soup is best served hot, so be sure to reheat it before serving if it has been refrigerated.

Conclusion:

Tomato crab soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. This soup is flavorful, creamy, and satisfying. It's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
