Blender Tomato Soup Recipes

BLENDER TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Cut 1/2 pound of the tomatoes (2 medium) in half across the equator, and grate on the large holes of a box grater set over a bowl. Line a strainer with cheesecloth, and set over a bowl. Place the grated tomatoes in the cheesecloth and allow to drain for one hour. (The "tomato water" that drips through will have an intense, pure flavor.) Meanwhile, cut the remaining tomatoes in wedges and toss in a bowl with salt to taste, the garlic clove, vinegar and olive oil.
• After one hour, gather up the cheesecloth around the tomato pulp that remains and squeeze to extract all of the remaining juice. Transfer the juice to a blender. Add the tomato wedges and all of the juice in the bowl, along with the tomato paste, basil leaves and water. Blend until smooth (if necessary do this in two batches). Adjust seasoning, and if you want a hint of heat, add a small pinch of cayenne.
• Strain the soup through a medium strainer set over a bowl, pushing the soup through with a spatula or the bottom of a ladle. Serve right away, or for the best flavor refrigerate for one to 24 hours before serving. Blend again or whisk before serving. Serve, garnishing each bowl with slivered basil.

NO-COOK BLENDER TOMATO SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, garlic, onion, oregano, red pepper flakes, bread, tomatoes and their juices, and water or stock in the jar of a high-powered blender . Turn blender on to low speed and slowly increase speed to maximum. Blend until soup is steaming hot and completely smooth, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If an even smoother soup is desired, press through a fine-mesh strainer or chinois before serving. Serve immediately garnished with herbs and drizzled with olive oil, or chill and serve cold. (Once chilled, you can adjust the texture by whisking in water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency s reached.)
