Best tomato soup i’ve ever had 😍


The pic of the soup does absolutely no justice for the amazing flavor that was in it! We peeled these Jet Star maters that were picked right from the plant, and simmered them with shallot, fresh basil, garlic and some herbs like oregano, thyme, rosemary – it was amazing 😍 and now my bar is set really high for tomato soup 😂

    Looks good. Thick and velvety. The color is always a disappointment with tomatoes. People even add food coloring.

    I’m puzzled by the soup’s color. I bet it tasted great.

    Consider a different recipe that exploits modern technology to make a soup that needs minimal cooking time:

    Freeze the tomatoes whole when ripe.

    When you want soup, defrost the tomatoes whole let all the liquid drain away.

    What is left is skin, scar (from attachment to the plant), and seeds. Run the melted, drained tomatoes through a food mill or sieve so what you have is concentrated pulp.

    Use that concentrated pulp for your soup. Cook five minutes maximum.

    The above method can be used to reduce cooking time for tomato sauces, too.

    When tomatoes are boiling away liquid on the stove, some of the more volatile flavor and aroma components are removed. This may result in a caramelized, sweet result. But it is further from tomato (fresh tomato) flavor than you need to travel.
