RECIPE: Tomato Basil Soup
INGREDIENTS:
1 – 2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1½ cups onion, chopped small
1 cup carrots, chopped small
1 cup celery, chopped small
1 cup water
6 cups tomatoes, diced (about 2 pounds)
1 tablespoon basil, dried
½ cup parsley, Italian (chopped)
1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Kosher salt (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground (or to taste)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1: In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat.
2: Stir in the garlic, onion, carrots and celery. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Stir occasionally. Add some of the water if the vegetables start to get dry.
3: Add the cooked mixture and water to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
4: Return the mixture to the pan.
5: Stir in half (3 cups) of the tomatoes, basil and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil.
6: Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover pan and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
7: Reduce heat to the lowest heat.
8: Stir in the rest of the tomatoes, parsley and balsamic vinegar. Take the pan off the heat as soon as the soup is heated through. Add more salt and pepper if desired.
NOTES:
I like using Roma tomatoes because they are firm and have less juice. This will result in a thicker soup.
You may substitute 1/2 cup fresh, chopped basil for the dried basil. Add 1/4 cup fresh basil with the first 3 cups of tomatoes. Add 1/4 cup fresh basil with the last 3 cups of tomatoes.
You can double this recipe if you want to.
