Chunky Fresh Tomato Soup Recipes

CHUNKY TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, celery and carrots in oil 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until carrots are crisp-tender.
• Stir in tomatoes, breaking up tomatoes coarsely. Stir in water, basil, pepper and broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low.
• Cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

CHUNKY TOMATO BASIL SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, sauté the onion in the olive oil over medium heat until browned, about 10 to 12 minutes
• Add the garlic and sauté another 3 minutes
• While onion and garlic are sautéing, open your canned tomatoes and dice the whole tomatoes.
• Add the diced tomatoes and juices/tomato puree to the pot with the sauteed onion and garlic.
• Add the vegetable stock, chopped basil and butter. Stir until butter is melted and incorporated.
• Add the baking soda. This will cause the soup to bubble up quite a bit, so make sure your pot is big enough to hold a little momentary soup fizz. The bubbles/fizz will die down after a few seconds of stirring.
• Bring pot to a full boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes.
• Optional: You can blend part or all of this soup for a smoother consistency, though I like it chunky.
• Serve with grated parmesan on top. Seriously. It's the bomb!

CHUNKY TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• In a 5-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat; add oil and onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and tomato paste; cook 1 minute.
• To saucepan, add thyme, broth, and tomatoes, breaking up tomatoes with your fingers. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, 30 minutes. (Remove thyme sprigs before blending.)
• Using an immersion blender, puree soup in pot, leaving a fair amount of the tomatoes in chunks. Or, working in several batches, puree half (5 cups) of the soup in a conventional blender until smooth; return to pot. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

CHUNKY BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Pour milk and Italian seasoning into the pot with the butternut squash mixture. Stir in cornstarch gradually until combined. Bring to a boil. Mix in diced tomatoes, broth, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until flavors are well combined and squash is softened, about 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour soup into bowls and sprinkle basil over each.

CHUNKY TOMATO SOUP (USE FRESH OR CANNED TOMATOES)

Steps:

• 1. In a saucepan (or soup pot), saute onion, celery and carrots in butter until soft but not brown.
• 2. Add tomatoes and a small amount of vegetable (or chicken) stock/broth. Simmer 20 minutes.
• 3. In a soup pot, combine sauteed vegetables, remaining broth and rice. Season with salt, thyme and pepper. NOTE: If you use the soup pan to saute the vegetables (step 1), you can just combine everyting in that one pot (and not dirty up another pan).
• 4. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes. Serve garnished with parsley and grated parmesean cheese, if desired.
• 5. NOTE 1: TOMATOES: When using canned, diced tomatoes, don't use petite diced. I use Southern Home brand, which are more chunky. Also, just spoon the diced tomatoes out of the can and discard or save the juice for something else.
• 6. NOTE 2: I used 2 (4 cup; 32 oz size) cartons of vegetable stock. I actually used one of vegetable stock and one of vegetable broth. If you don't want it vegetarian, you can use chicken broth and/or stock.
• 7. NOTE 3: This would make a wonderful base for a vegetable soup; just add more carrots and celery and any other vegetables that you like.
• 8. Enjoy!!
