Tomato Parmesan Soup Recipes

TOMATO PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium sized pot, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat for 30 seconds.
• Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the onion has softened.
• Add the tomatoes, broth, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt and bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer into a blender, being careful to allow steam to escape, and blend for 10-20 seconds until slightly chunky.
• Garnish with fresh basil or additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

CREAMY TOMATO PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large stock pot over medium heat.
• Add onions, carrot, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
• Whisk in broth and cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Stir in tomatoes and heavy cream.
• Add Parmesan and heat through until cheese is melted. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in basil just before serving.

TOMATO-PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Once it starts bubbling, stir in the onions and sauté until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, red-pepper flakes, and generous pinches of salt and pepper, and sauté until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, 1 cup water and the Parmesan rind, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are broken down and the mixture has thickened, about 30 minutes. (If you find during your stirring that the Parmesan rind is stuck to the bottom or sides of the pot, pry it off with a wooden spoon.)
• Remove the rind from the soup, and let cool slightly. If you're planning to make the Parmesan toast, heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Use an immersion blender to purée the soup. (Alternatively, ladle the soup into a blender, and blend until smooth. For a super-smooth soup, run it through a fine-mesh sieve.) Season to taste with salt, pepper and grated Parmesan.
• If you're making the toast, rub 1 side of each slice of baguette with the garlic clove, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle cheese over the top, then bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Serve the soup with a toast alongside or on top.

CHEF

Steps:

• 1 Preheat oven to 450°F. 2 Strain diced tomatoes, reserving juice. Combine diced tomatoes, olive oil, salt and black pepper in bowl; gently toss to blend. Place on baking sheet lined with foil and roast uncovered for 20 minutes; reserve. 3 Melt butter in heavy soup pot, add onion and celery and cook over medium-low heat until onions are golden and tender. 4 Add flour and stir to blend; cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. 5 Add chicken broth, reserved tomatoes and juice, basil and sugar, stir until fully blended. 6 Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. 7 Add Parmesan cheese and stir to blend. Serve garnished with additional Parmesan, if desired.

PARMESAN BASIL TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato soup and bring to a boil. Add Parmesan cheese, basil, and rosemary. Season with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes more.

SLOW COOKER TOMATO BASIL PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• Add tomatoes, celery, carrots, chicken broth, onions, oregano, and basil to your slow cooker. {If you want your soup more smooth and less chunky, pulse celery, carrots, and onion in a food processor until very fine. I did this so my veggies were more hidden in the soup.}
• Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours until flavors are blended and vegetables are soft.
• About 30 minutes before the soup is ready prepare a roux.
• Melt the butter over medium low heat in a skillet and add the 1/2 cup of flour. Whisk together constantly for 5-7 minutes.
• Slowly add 1 cup of soup. This will start to form a thick paste. Slowly add another 3 cups of warm soup. Add this back to the slow cooker.
• Stir in the parmesan cheese, warmed half and half, and salt and pepper. Add additional oregano and basil if needed.
• Cover and cook on low for another 30 minutes.
• You can also blend the soup in a blender at the very end to smooth the soup out if you would like.

SLOW COOKER TOMATO BASIL PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and next 7 ingredients (through broth) to a slow cooker/crockpot. Cover and cook for 2 hours on high or 4-8 hours on low. (If you are home, give it a stir every now and then and scrape down the sides)
• About 30-40 minutes before serving transfer soup to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth, then return to crock pot.
• Prepare the roux. Begin by melting the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
• Add flour to melted butter and stir until flour clumps up. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream (or half & half) until mixture is thickened and smooth. Add roux and parmesan cheese to crockpot and stir to combine.
• Allow to cook another 20-30 minutes until cheese is completely melted. Give it a good stir before serving. Top with additional basil and parmesan cheese if desired.

TOMATO SOUP WITH PARMESAN CROUTONS

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat, then add onion, garlic, and carrots. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir it in, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Add canned tomatoes with their juice, broth, and water. Stir together and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, longer if you have time. Use an immersion blender to puree, still leaving some texture to the tomatoes. Add cream, salt, pepper, parsley, and basil, and simmer for another 5 minutes. To make the croutons, drizzle crostini rounds lightly with olive oil. Place little piles of Parmesan in a nonstick skillet. Place a crostini round on top of each pile. Turn on the heat to medium. Press with a spatula as you melt the cheese into each round. When set, flip to the other side to toast. Serve soup with one or two croutons on top and a little bit of basil.NOTE: Recipe can easily be halved!
