GARDEN-FRESH TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, onion, carrots, and garlic in a large pot. Drizzle olive oil over tomato mixture; cook and stir over medium heat. Cover pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.
• Mix chicken broth, salt, sugar, dill, black pepper, celery salt, and cloves into tomato mixture. Cover pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until soup flavors have blended, about 20 minutes.
• Whisk milk and cornstarch together in a bowl until dissolved.
• Heat butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk cornstarch mixture into melted butter until smooth and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Slowly pour cornstarch mixture into tomato soup, stirring until incorporated.
• Pour half of the soup and basil leaves into a blender no more than half-full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree soup in batches until smooth. Return blended soup to pot and heat on low for 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon soup into serving bowls and top with Parmesan cheese and shredded basil.

HOMEMADE TOMATO SOUP FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Prepare all the vegetables to start: chop the onion, carrots, tomatoes, and the basil leaves. Mince the garlic, and set everything aside.
• Place a large pot over medium heat. Once the pot has heated, add the oil and then the onions and the garlic.
• Saute the onions and garlic until the onions begin to soften. Add the carrots, tomatoes, basil leaves and salt and pepper, and stir. Let everything cook for a few minutes, stirring often. You'll notice the tomatoes begin to fall apart as they cook and the carrot pieces will begin to soften slightly. After about 5-6 minutes, add the vegetable stock and tomato paste and stir to combine.
• Add a lid to the pot and let the soup come to a slow boil. Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring every 3-5 minutes or so.
• Once the soup has finished simmering and the carrots have softened, remove the pot from the heat and puree the soup using an immersion blender. If you have a high-powered blender, feel free to use that instead. I like my immersion blender because it creates far fewer dishes to wash!
• After you've pureed the soup put it through a strainer to catch any little bits of tomato seeds or tomato skin that are still floating around in there. There won't be much to strain out, but no one likes little strands of tomato skin in tomato soup!
• Once you've strained the soup, add the milk (or dairy-free milk alternative, if you wish) and stir to combine.
• Ladle the soup into bowls, add a few fresh basil leaves as a garnish, and serve!

GARDEN FRESH TOMATO WATER SOUP

Steps:

• Blanch tomatoes after cutting an "x" into the blossom end by dropping them into boiling water for a few seconds, then plunge them into cool water. When cool, remove skins, cut tomatoes in half across the equator, and squeeze out seeds, gel, and water while working over a fine stainer on top of a bowl to catch the liquid. Chop tomatoes roughly, and place into a large pot. Scrape the gel and seeds against the bottom of the strainer with a spoon or your fingers, then discard the seeds. Put all the liquid from the bowl into the pot. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat until rippling in the pan. Add the onion and carrot and saute for 4 minutes or until the onions are transparent. Add the garlic and saute 30 seconds. Add the onion mixture to the tomatoes in the pot, then add the tomato paste, water, chicken base (or you can use chicken bouillon), and the chopped tomatoes, as well as the salt and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add the basil during the last five minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the cream, adjust the seasonings as needed to taste. Allow to cool then blend into a smooth puree. Reheat and serve.
