BEST TOMATO SOUP EVER

Steps:

• To begin, dice the onion. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven. Throw in the onion and cook until translucent.
• Now dump in the diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the tomato juice.
• Next - and this is important - in order to combat the acidity of the tomatoes add 3 to 6 tablespoons of sugar. Now, you'll want to start on the low side, then taste and add more as needed. Some tomatoes and juice have more of an acidic bite than others. (For what it's worth, and I realize it's not worth much, I use 6 tablespoons of sugar.)
• Next, add 1 or 2 tablespoons chicken base to the pot. I added 3, and it wound up being a little too much.
• Now you can add lots of freshly ground black pepper. Stir to combine, then heat almost to a boil. Then turn off the heat.
• Add in the sherry if desired. Stir in the cream. Add the basil and parsley and stir.
• Serve the soup warm!

THE BEST TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the celery, onions, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened but not browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes. Add the broth and thyme leaves. Cover and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
• Let the hot soup cool for about 5 minutes or so, then transfer half of it to a blender filling no more than halfway. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Pour into a clean pot or container. Repeat with the remaining soup and butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle with more oil before serving.

CREAMY TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a 3-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the carrots, celery, onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir with a wooden spoon and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and chicken stock and stir to combine. Nestle the Parmesan rind and basil in the soup and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring often to prevent the rind from sticking to the bottom of the pan, for about 25 minutes.
• Remove the basil and Parmesan rind and discard. Stir in the mascarpone, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Puree the soup until smooth with a stick blender. Serve topped with crumbled bacon.

TOMATO VELVET SOUP RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• The secret to this soup's delicate flavor is that the basil is never exposed to heat, which often makes the herb taste rather harsh and sharp. 1. Blanch tomatoes with boiling water, core them and slip off peelings. Working over a sieve set over a large bowl, split crosswise and scoop out seeds into sieve. Discard seeds and roughly chop tomatoes. Add to collected juices and set aside. 2. Sweat onion in butter in a soup pot over medium heat until wilted and translucent, but not colored, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and juice, water, hot pepper (left whole), parsley and a large pinch salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and simmer slowly until tomatoes break down and onion is tender, about 30 minutes. Turn off heat. 3. Remove and discard hot pepper and parsley. Puree in a blender or food processor. Stir in milk or half and half. Cool, cover and chill. Taste and adjust seasonings. 4. Drizzle each serving with cream or whip cream until it holds soft peaks and put a dollop in center of each serving. Sprinkle with herbs and white pepper.
