HEARTY GARDEN FRESH HOMEMADE TOMATO SOUP OR SAUCE



Hearty Garden Fresh Homemade Tomato Soup or Sauce image

Use your garden-fresh veggies and herbs in the summer or use your garden veggies and herbs that are frozen for winter use. Except for onions and garlic, which generally lose flavor when frozen raw, I freeze my extra summer crops (note that tomatoes should be allowed to ripen before freezing) and make a large pot of this soup in the winter. I came up with this by simply throwing things in an 8qt pot. I've since made it 4 more times and it really hits the spot on a cold winter day. It's gotten from those who've gotten some of my extras that didn't fit in my freezer (I tend to make as much as I need to use up my extra tomatoes).

Categories     Vegetable

Time 2h40m

Yield 10 bowls, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large Spanish onions, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
8 garlic cloves, minced
2 red peppers, chopped
8 lbs fresh tomatoes (This is an estimate, the "true" measurement is a gallon ziploc bag full or whatever fills my 8 quart)
1 tablespoon basil pesto (pureed basil and garlic with a little olive oil)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
8 fresh thyme sprigs
1 teaspoon oregano
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons tomato paste (I used homemade, made with garlic and bay leaves)
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 quart chicken stock or 1 quart vegetable stock

Steps:

  • Sauté first 5 ingredients in olive oil until soft in an 8-10 quart pot.
  • Make a bundle of the sage, thyme and bay leaves by wrapping them with string in cheesecloth (you can tie the string to a pot handle to make it easier to remove later).
  • Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours. Let cool.
  • Puree through a food mill fitted with a medium blade. The use of a medium blade gives you a soup with plenty of pulp (you can adjust blade size if you like). Reheat and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a splash of heavy cream before serving if you want cream of tomato soup.
  • If you don't have a food mill you can also make this a semi-chunky soup, but I'd recommend a smaller dice for onions, carrots, celery and red peppers.
  • To make a sauce, return to pot after pureeing and let it continue to simmer over low heat until it reaches the desired consistency.

HEARTY TOMATO SOUP WITH LEMON AND ROSEMARY



Hearty Tomato Soup With Lemon and Rosemary image

I saw this prepared on Food Network today and thought I'd post it to try later. Looks yummy for a cold winter evening! (If you can't find creme fraiche locally, mix 1/3 cup of heavy cream with 1/3 cup of sour creme and allow it to come to room temperature) ***I froze the tomato soup, and when I pulled it out of the freezer, I didn't have have the ingredients to make the cream sauce. Instead I chopped some rosemary, zested some lemon, crumbled some bacon, and drizzled a few tablespoons of heavy cream into each bowl. Just as scrumptious!

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, peeled and chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, chopped

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup heavy cream
Zest of 1 lemon

Add the beans, tomatoes, broth, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of the rosemary, and the red pepper flakes. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, covered.
  • Purée the soup in a blender in batches, being careful to remove and discard the bay leaf. Return the soup to the soup pot and keep warm over low heat. Season with salt and pepper.

Yield 4-6 people

Number Of Ingredients 20

FOR THE SOUP:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed (more/less, depending on taste)
½ teaspoon ground ginger
3 teaspoons cumin
3 teaspoons chili powder
3 teaspoons dried parsley
1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 zucchini, cut lengthwise in half, sliced thinly
1 can of stewed tomatoes

FOR THE DUMPLINGS:
1 cup flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh basil, cut (or 3 -4 teaspoons dry)
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 egg
2 tablespoons of water

Steps:

  • Start by sauteing olive oil with onion and garlic on low-medium heat. Add spices (ginger, cumin, chili powder, parsley), then add the beans and zucchini. Let the ingredients soften, but careful not to burn the garlic. Add the stewed tomatoes, and chicken/vegetable stock.

Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt), then add basil, parmesan cheese and egg. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time.

HEARTY TOMATO SOUP



Hearty Tomato Soup image

I took this recipe from a cook book I have that is called "Brain Foods For Kids: Over 100 Recipes To Boost Your Child's Intelligence." I got it as a send-in freebie from Kashi. I made a few tweaks to adjust to what I had on hand and added star pasta to try to bribe my picky daughter to try it. She loved it and asked for seconds! Veggie broth could be substituted for the chicken stock to make this vegan. Alphabet pasta would be something fun to try for the kids as well. The lentils are packed with protein so the 4 large servings are a meal alone. You could add grilled cheese to this and serve twice as many.
