PROVENCAL TOMATO SOUP



Provencal Tomato Soup image

This simple Provencal Tomato Soup is a favorite at our classes. It can be made with either fresh or canned tomatoes and eaten hot in the winter or cold in the summer. Some cooks I know prefer to use Arborio rice, so substitute it for the barley if you prefer. In France à la Provençale means lots of garlic. There may seem to be a lot in this soup, but fear not; the way it's cooked gives the soup a soft, rich flavor. Garlic is such a good cancer-fighting vegetable; it's great to have this delicious showcase for it -- and with tomatoes, too. Tomatoesare bursting with lycopene, a cancer-fighting agent that becomes more accessible to the body with cooking. Who knew healthy could taste so good?

Categories     Soups

Number Of Ingredients 1

2 tablespoons olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 3 bay leaves Pinch of cayenne ¼ teaspoon brown sugar 2 pounds tomatoes, diced or 1 (28-ounce) can of chopped tomatoes 6 to 8 cloves of garlic, smashed and peeled 1 quart low-sodium stock or water ¼ cups pearl barley Parmesan rind (optional) Sea salt, to taste Fresh basil

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a wide, heavy-bottomed pan. Add the onion and cook for a minute. Turn the heat to medium, add the bay leaves and sweat the onion until it starts to soften, about 8 minutes. It shouldn't color, so stir from time to time to prevent it sticking and burning.
  • Turn the heat up to medium-high. Add the cayenne pepper, sugar and cook for a minute, then add the tomatoes and garlic. Cook, stirring until the tomatoes take on an orangey hue and have reduced a little.
  • Add the pearl barley, Parmesan rind, if using, and the stock, plus salt to taste. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat and cover. Cook until the barley is tender enough to smash with a spoon against the side of the pan, about 40 minutes. If substituting Arborio rice, it will take about half the amount of time to cook.
  • Let the soup sit for a few minutes. Remove the bay leaves and blend thoroughly, in batches, using either a wand blender or a freestanding one. Return to the pot, check the seasoning and add a grind or two of black pepper. Serve as is or with a few torn basil leaves or a little pesto stirred into it.

PROVENçAL TOMATO AND BASIL SOUP



Provençal Tomato and Basil Soup image

I learned to make this soup years ago when I lived in France. If there are no fresh tomatoes at hand, use canned. The soup is delicious and silky if you thicken it with tapioca.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     weekday, appetizer

Time 1h

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 to 6 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
Salt to taste
2 pounds tomatoes, cored and diced, or 1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes with juice
Pinch of sugar
2 large sprigs basil, or about 16 leaves, plus 2 tablespoons slivered basil for garnish
1 quart water
1 Parmesan rind (optional)
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup rice or tapioca
Garlic croutons (thin slices of baguette, lightly toasted and rubbed with a cut garlic clove)
Grated or shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about five minutes. Stir in half the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute. Add the tomatoes, sugar, basil sprigs or leaves and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down and smell fragrant, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the water, Parmesan rind and salt to taste. Bring to a simmer, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes. Add the tapioca or rice, and simmer for another 15 minutes until the tapioca is tender and the soup fragrant. Remove the basil sprigs and Parmesan rind. Puree in a blender in small batches, taking care to place a towel over the top of the blender and hold it down tightly. If you used fresh unpeeled tomatoes and want a silkier soup, put through a strainer, using a spatula or the back of a ladle to push the soup through. Return to the pot, add pepper to taste and adjust salt. Serve garnished with garlic croutons and/or Parmesan, if desired, and slivered basil leaves. If serving cold, refrigerate until chilled.

SUNNY'S SIMPLE ROASTED TOMATO SOUP WITH BROILED CHEESE TOAST



Sunny's Simple Roasted Tomato Soup with Broiled Cheese Toast image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Olive oil, for drizzling
10 to 12 sprigs fresh thyme
6 cloves garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 red bell peppers, stemmed, seeded and halved
1 red jalapeno, sliced lengthwise
1 cup frozen pearl onions (do not defrost)
3 to 4 cups vegetable stock
4 slices white bread
4 slices American cheese

Steps:

  • For the soup: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
  • Drizzle some olive oil in a zig-zag motion on the foil. Add the thyme and garlic and season the baking sheet with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes, bell peppers and jalapeno on the baking sheet sliced-side down, covering the garlic cloves and thyme as you go along. Pour over the onions, drizzle the top of everything with olive oil and season again with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast until the onions are golden and slightly charred, about 40 minutes.
  • Transfer everything from the baking sheet to a blender in batches and pulse until smooth. Pour into a pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring the entire time. Add enough vegetable stock to achieve the desired consistency; you may not use it all. Keep warm on low.
  • For the toast: Preheat the broiler on high.
  • Put a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and arrange the bread on the rack. Top each piece of bread with a slice of cheese and place under the broiler. WATCH while they cook: the cheese will melt and bubble, then the corners will begin to blacken--pull them out then! This takes less than a minute. Serve aside or atop a bowl of soup.
