Jamie Olivers Tomato Soup Recipes

TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and roughly slice the carrots, slice the celery, and peel and roughly chop the onions. Peel and slice the garlic.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over a medium heat, add all the prepped ingredients, then cook with lid ajar for 10 to 15 minutes, or until softened.
• Crumble the stock cubes into a jug, cover with1.5 litres of boiling water, and stir until dissolved.
• Add the stock to the veg pan with tinned and fresh whole tomatoes, including the green stalks that may still be attached to some of them (these give an amazing flavour - trust me!).
• Give it a good stir and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on. Meanwhile, pick your basil leaves.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, then stir through the basil leaves.
• Using a stick blender or liquidizer, pulse the soup until smooth. Taste and check the seasoning, then serve.

JAMIE OLIVER'S TOMATO SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Put your onion, garlic, carrot and basil stalks into a large pot with a couple of lugs of olive oil. Cover the pan and simmer gently without colouring for 20 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
• Whisk together the cream, vinegar and egg yolks in a small bowl and put to one side.
• While the vegetables are simmering, drop the tomatoes into boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove the skins and roughly chop the flesh. Add these to the veg, then pour in the stock and simmer for a further 20 minutes with the lid on.
• Leave to cool a little then puree the soup in a liquidiser.
• Put back into pan, bring back to a simmer and season carefully with salt & pepper.
• Just before serving whisk in the cream mixture, but do not let it return to the boil. Serve straight away sprinkled with a few torn up basil leaves.

JAMIE OLIVER'S SPICY TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Put the onion, garlic, carrot and cilantro stalks into a large pot with the olive oil. Cover and cook gently for 10 mins, stirring regularly to prevent colouring.
• Meanwhile, drop the tomatoes into boiling water for a minute or two. Take them out, run them under the cold tap, then pinch the skins off, discard, and roughly chop the flesh. Add to the pan with broth and pasta sauce. Simmer for another 20 mins with the lid on.
• Whiz your soup in a blender, then pour it back in the pan and season well. Serve with a sprinkling of cilantroleaves and a few chopped chili peppers if you dare!

TOMATO CONSOMMé - JAMIE OLIVER

Steps:

• Put everything except the beetroot into a food processor and run until slushy. (You will probably want to split the tomatoes into 2 batches to avoid spillage.).
• Place 4 layers of clean muslin cheesecloth in a deep bowl. Pour the tomato mixture into the cloth. Tie up the corners of the fabric. Add the slice of beetroot to the bowl to color the liquid. Hang the bag from a shelf in the refrigerator with the bowl underneath for 6-8 hours (or longer). Discard the beetroot.
• Serve in a pretty clear bowl with an ice cube to keep it very cold, a nice basil leaf, and a few drops of very good extra-virgin olive oil.
