Tomato Soup

Submitted by: CHEF_MEG
Tomato Soup

Introduction

This tomato soup is so rich and thick you'll swear it's laden with cream and butter. The trick is really good tomatoes.

This tomato soup is so rich and thick you'll swear it's laden with cream and butter. The trick is really good tomatoes.


Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 yellow or white onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    2 pounds tomatoes, deseeded, chopped
    1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    4 small slices white bread, crust removed
    1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    black pepper to taste

Tips

Not sure how to remove the skins and seeds from a tomato? Let Chef Meg show you how. Watch now!

In summer, when backyard gardens and farmers markets overflow with good tomatoes, use fresh ones. If you can't find really good tomatoes (or it's the middle of winter), use two 14.5 ounce cans of no salt-added tomatoes.

Directions

Heat the oil in a stock pot or large saucepan.

Add the onions and garlic; saute for 5 minutes.

Stir in the tomatoes, then add the pepper, sugar, thyme and bread; cook for 3 minutes.

Puree, using an immersion blender or food processor.

If you're using an immersion blender, take care not to splatter tomatoes all over yourself!

Slowly add the stock and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook another two minutes.

Makes 8 one cup servings.

    I made this using no-salt added organic diced tomatoes instead of fresh ones (I used 2 cans) and it was very tasty! It is unlike any tomato soup I have ever tasted and pairs very well with a grilled gouda sandwich! - 5/19/10

    I used the recipe but needed to adapt it to be gluten free. I used cooked acorn squash in this soup and served it to guests who were thrilled. The soup pot was empty. No bread, cheese or brown sugar just 2 cups squash in the blender with the stock Fabulous ! - 11/8/10

    Similar to mine. No bread, but add diced celery, carrots & parsley, a dash of Worcestershire, 1/4 tsp. ground cloves; Cook longer to reduce. For Cream of Tomato, cut stock in half and add that amount of fat-free half & half or fat-free heavy cream. Can use no-salt added diced toms or puree if needed - 8/15/10

    I make a simplified version of this soup that features basil as the primary herb. One thing you will need to do is to peel the tomatoes first if you want it to be very smooth. I freeze my extra tomatoes in the summer (uncooked, in large chunks, in baggies), then make this soup in the winter. - 7/15/10

    Used canned diced tomoatoes and it turned out great! Easy to make and it tasted so fresh. I used a regular blender and it was smooth. Next time I will leave out 1/2 a can of tomatoes and add at the end to have chunks of tomato in the soup (like Progresso Hearty Tomato). Will not go back to canned! - 10/13/10

    This soup is really excellent. I was raised with Campbell tomato soup, but wanted a healthier alternative. The canned soups I found just didn't do the trick. This soup satisfied my comfort food craving. My family even said it was the best soup they ever tasted. - 10/25/10

    Easy recipe. I didn't bother w/skinning or de-seeding the tomatoes~had fresh from our garden tomatoes, yum! used a blender instead, which worked out fine except for the volume which required doing batches. Ran out of vinegar (1/2 T), needed more pepper flakes than listed, don't like blue cheese! - 9/9/10

    NOTE for Gluten Free I suggest if your bread is denser to use only 1/2 the amount listed. I used 4 oz of Light Tapioca and the soup tastes more like tomato on bread than tomato soup. I'll definitely use less next time. - 10/10/12

    Wonderful! Used up all the tomatoes that were given me. Definitely would make it again. Nice spicy kick! I had to use a bagel cuz I ran out of bread! It was nice and thick! - 9/27/11

    My extra tomatoes were just looking for this recipe. Now do you have anything for all those green tomatoes out there? - 9/23/11

    Delicious! I will make this again. This soup packs a lot of flavor and tummy satisfaction for under 100 cals. Chef Meg has done it again! Seeding and chopping the tomato's was time consuming but well worth it. I was tempted to add salt but resisted and as it turns out, it didn't need any. Great!! - 9/22/11

    I loved the simplicity of this recipe and that I had all of the ingredients on hand! The only revision was that I used was the ole 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes. Effortless and delightful. I honestly have never had homeade tomato soup before! - 9/21/11

    After picking a basketful of tomatoes, I decided to try this recipe. I only had a whole sun grain diet type bread so I used what I had and added some silkened tofu to lighten it up. I also used fresh thyme from my garden. This is the best tomato soup I've ever had and it was very quick. Thanks - 9/2/11

    I make tomato soup with my garden tomatoes but do not add bread, sugar, or thyme. Otherwise Chef Meg's recipe is much like mine. Always delish! - 8/31/11

    I sometimes overbuy tomatoes. This is a good way to use them rather than look at them several days later and feel guilty that I will have to throw them out in a couple more days. - 8/27/11

    I found it a little sweet. Will definitely cut--or cut out--the sugar next time. This would be so easy to modify to make a tortilla soup! Very functional basic. - 7/29/11

    Perfect for al the tomatoes ripening. Thickening soup using bread a novel idea! - 7/24/11

    I made this soup, exactly as published... all I have to say, I'm glad I allowed myself two servings... it's out of this world! I used a good hearty bread with pumpkin seeds, so I had to increase the broth by about another 1/2 cup, and adjust the caloric totals. Lovely superb summer soup! Thanks! - 6/10/11

    Beautiful soup. I couldn't be bothered to skin tomatoes so I used 2 tins of peeled plum tomatoes and the result is lovely :) - 5/28/11
