Time 1h

Yield 4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium chayotes
2 carrots
1 stalk celery, including top
1/2 small onion
1 (500 ml) carton fat-free chicken broth (about 2 cups)
6 plum tomatoes, meduim very ripe
2 fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh basil
1 large garlic clove
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Put chicken broth in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Peel and cube chayote. Rough chop onion. Slice celery and carrots into 1" pieces. (Peel carrot if desired)
  • Add vegetables and herbs to broth and heat to a low boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  • Remove from heat and cool. (it is easier to process food that isn't still hot).
  • Process in small batches in the food processor or blender until creamy smooth and set aside.
  • Core the tomatoes and roast under the broiler or with a flame tamer over a gas burner. Turn as the tomatoes cook. Don't worry if the skin is a little blackened- it adds flavor.
  • Roast the garlic still in the skin until lightly brown. Peel and slice.
  • Process the tomatoes and garlic in the food processor or blender on rough chop.
  • Add to chayote mixture and reheat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
