Best Tomato Cucumber Soup With Basil Recipes

CUCUMBER SOUP WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place 2 cucumbers in a blender; pour in chicken stock. Blend cucumber mixture until smooth and pureed; pour cucumber puree into a large bowl.
• Chop the remaining 2 cucumbers. Stir chopped cucumbers, tomato, lime juice, and cayenne pepper into pureed cucumber until well mixed. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

COLD TOMATO CUCUMBER SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to give up their juices, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and let cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Puree tomato mixture in an electric blender by pulsing several times. Add cucumber and pulse until chopped into small pieces. Add coconut milk, mayonnaise, heavy cream, lime zest, curry powder, and salt; pulse until well combined.
• Pour soup into a container or bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Serve in bowls garnished with mint leaves and pepper.

ROASTED TOMATO BASIL SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss together the tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the tomatoes in 1 layer on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes.
• In an 8-quart stockpot over medium heat, saute the onions and garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the butter, and red pepper flakes for 10 minutes, until the onions start to brown. Add the canned tomatoes, basil, thyme, and chicken stock. Add the oven-roasted tomatoes, including the liquid on the baking sheet. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes. Pass through a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade. Taste for seasonings. Serve hot or cold.

TOMATO BASIL SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven for 2 minutes over medium-high heat until the hot oil is shimmering hot. Add onion and garlic. Sauté until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add fresh tomatoes, tomato sauce, and basil. Stir in the remaining seasoning (Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper). Reduce heat to medium and cook until tomatoes soften, about 6-8 minutes
• Pour in broth, cover the lid, and turn the heat down to low. Allow the soup to simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and puree the soup. For a smoother texture, transfer the soup into a blender and puree in batches, or puree using an immersion blender directly in the pot. For a chunkier soup, use a potato masher or fork and mash until desired consistency is achieved.
• Serve with some Parmesan cheese, feta cheese, or breadsticks (if desired).

CUCUMBER AND AVOCADO SOUP WITH TOMATO AND BASIL SALAD

Steps:

• Combine cucumber and buttermilk in blender. Chop 1/4 of avocado; set aside for salad. Cut remaining avocado into chunks. Add avocado to blender; then add 2 tablespoons red onion and 1 tablespoon basil. Blend until very smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover; refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Mix reserved avocado, remaining 2 tablespoons onion and 1 tablespoon basil, tomato and lime juice in small bowl. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover soup and tomato salad separately and refrigerate.) Ladle cucumber soup into 4 bowls. Dollop each with 1 tablespoon yogurt; top with tomato salad and serve.
