Home Show Featured Recipe: Tomato Soup

Enjoy our Featured Recipe - Tomato Soup
Submitted by Joanne Kennedy

Ingredients:

•   2 lbs of fresh, loosely chopped tomatoes (I don’t peel my tomatoes, but to cut down the acidity you can.)

•   2 large carrots peeled and chopped

•   1 large onion loosely chopped

•   3 cloves of garlic, peeled and whole but broken open with the flat side of a knife

•   2 – 4 tbls olive oil

•   5 fresh basil leaves or a pinch of dried basil

•   1 sprig of fresh oregano (leaves only) or a pinch of dried oregano

•   A pinch of red chili pepper flakes

•   A pinch of nutmeg

•   2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock

•   Salt and pepper to taste

* If you prefer a creamy texture, you can add 1 cup heavy cream (half and half, whole milk or almond milk can be used as substitute depending on taste and dietary needs.) Enjoy!

Directions: 

On medium-high heat, place olive oil in a large pan.  When hot add garlic to infuse the oil with garlic flavor.  Add onions and turn down heat to medium.  Add carrots and sauté until onions are soft and a little caramelized.  Add chopped tomatoes.  Sauté for a few minutes and then add chicken stock, chili flakes, nutmeg, basil and oregano.  Simmer on medium heat then take off heat for a few minutes.  Transfer soup to a Vitamix or blender.  Blend on low and drizzle a little bit of really good olive oil to emulsify.  Add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with basil or a drizzle of olive oil and crumbled goat cheese. My family likes this soup best served with a grilled cheese sandwich.

You can also roast the tomatoes, carrots, onions and garlic for a richer and deeper flavor.  To roast, preheat oven to 375.  Toss the tomatoes, carrots, onions and garlic with olive oil salt and pepper in a baking sheet with a rim and roast for 45 minutes.  Pour the vegetables and stock into a Vitamix or blender and continue with directions above.
