KITTENCAL'S THICK AND RICH CREAMY TOMATO SOUP (LOW-FAT OPTION)



Kittencal's Thick and Rich Creamy Tomato Soup (Low-Fat Option) image

This is 100% better than any canned tomato soup! --- If you find that the soup is too thick for your liking you may thin out with more tomato juice during cooking if desired, I strongly suggest to use V-8 tomato juice for the best flavor, this soup will only improve in flavor the longer it is cooked and it tastes even better the next day, it also freezes well -------- LOW-FAT OPTION reduce the butter amount or use a healthy alternative such as Smart Balance Butter Blend and use fat-free milk or fat-free half and half

Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, very finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
4 garlic cloves, minced (or finely chopped)
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (or adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
3 cups tomato juice, divided
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 -4 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use seasoned salt)
parmesan cheese (optional)
crouton (see my Kittencal's Garlic Croutons)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine 2 cups tomato juice with crushed tomatoes and milk.
  • In a saucepan melt the butter over medium-high heat.
  • Add in onion and dried oregano; saute until softened (about 3 minutes).
  • Add in garlic and red pepper flakes; cook stirring for 2 minutes.
  • Add in flour and stir for 1 minute.
  • Slowly add in the tomato/milk mixture whisking constantly to remove any lumps; bring to a boil stirring frequently until bubbly and thickened, then season with sugar, salt and pepper (the mixture will be quite thick).
  • Reduce heat to low, add in remaining 1 cup of tomato juice (or more) and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour (can simmer longer if desired, if the soup is still too thick for your liking add in more tomato juice and keep seasoning with salt and pepper if needed during cooking).
  • Ladle into bowl then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and croutons if desired.
  • Delicious!

CREAMY TOMATO SOUP



Creamy Tomato Soup image

Of all my recipes, this is one of the few dishes that is repeatedly requested by my family and friends. We usually serve this soup with a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches, and it's such a satisfying meal for a cold and chilly day. I have made the delectable soup using canned tomatoes as well as fresh tomatoes from our garden, and I cannot tell the difference between the two versions. The time calculated for this recipe is based on using canned tomatoes (which is how I usually make it since it's more convenient). But if you wish to use fresh tomatoes, please consider that it will be about 10-15 minutes more of preparation time.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tomatoes (or 28 ounce can whole tomatoes undrained)
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped celery
6 cups low-fat milk
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
15 ounces low-sodium tomato sauce
8 ounces tomato paste
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) or 1/2-1 cup American cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • If using fresh tomatoes, peel the tomatoes, preserving as much juice as possible. Place peeled whole (or canned whole) tomatoes in a large kettle. Simmer tomatoes in their juices over low heat for 20 minutes, or until tomatoes are mushy and easily break apart when stirred with a wooden spoon.
  • In a skillet, sauté the onion and celery in butter about 5 minutes, or until onions are clear. Add the sautéed onion mixture to the kettle with the tomatoes. Add milk, baking soda, sugar, celery salt, tomato sauce and tomato paste to the kettle, and stir well. Simmer over low heat until the soup is beginning to steam, but don't let it come to a boil (or the milk can separate from the tomato base, giving the soup a clumpy rather than a creamy texture). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot, with a handful of cheese sprinkled on the top of each serving.
