Tomato Onion Soup With Baby Arugula Eggs And Horseradish Dressing Recipes

ONION TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add the tomato juice, water, basil, oregano, sugar and celery salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes; cook 10 minutes longer.

TOMATO AND ONION SOUP WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Stir-fry the onions in the oil in a heavy, large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until soft and lightly browned. Add the tomatoes and garlic; cover and simmer for 1 hour. Remove the cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick like paste. Add the broth, 3 tablespoons of the butter, the salt, peppers and sugar.
• Simmer, uncovered, for 1½ to 2 hours or until the flavors are blended.
• Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate until about 1 hour before serving. (Marcelle let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.).
• Bring the soup slowly to a simmer. Carefully break the eggs into the soup, spacing them evenly. Cover, and simmer slowly for 15 minutes, just long enough to poach the eggs.
• Meanwhile, brown the bread slices on both sides in the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter in a large heavy skillet. Drain on paper towels.
• Ladle the soup into large, shallow soup bowls, including an egg with each portion. Garnish each bowl with two pieces of bread and a sprinkling of parsley.

CREAM OF TOMATO AND HORSERADISH SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan and cook the onion and celery for about 10 minutes until softened.
• Add the garlic and cook for a further few minutes. Add the tomatoes with the sugar, broth and a good pinch of salt and ground black pepper. Bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes then liquidize.
• Stir in the horseradish and the cream and gently heat, taking care not to let the soup boil. Taste for seasoning.

TOMATO SOUP WITH ARUGULA, CROUTONS, AND PECORINO

FARMSTAND TOMATO SOUP WITH ARUGULA PESTO

Steps:

• To Make the Soup:
• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set the cored tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and roast them until they look wrinkly, about 30 minutes; set aside. While the tomatoes cool, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small sauté pan. Add the shallots and 2 cloves chopped garlic and sauté over medium-low heat until they turn golden brown and caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes; set aside.
• When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins, which should slip off easily. Put the peeled tomatoes in the jar of a blender along with the sautéed shallots and garlic, crushed tomatoes (with juice), 1 tablespoon salt, and sugar. Process until the soup is smooth. Stir in the cream and vodka, if desired. Refrigerate in a covered bowl for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
• To Make the Pesto:
• Toast the pine nuts, stirring occasionally, in a skillet set on medium heat until they turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Combine the arugula, pine nuts, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and lemon juice in the jar of a blender or the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, then slowly add in the olive oil through the feed tube and process. Transfer the pesto to a bowl and stir in the Parmesan.
• To Serve:
• Ladle the chilled soup into individual serving bowls, and swirl 1 tablespoon of pesto into each.
• Do it early
• The soup can be made up to 4 days in advance and refrigerated. Ditto for the pesto. Both should be well covered. Arugula pesto does not brown when exposed to oxygen as does its more common cousin, basil pesto.
• Variation
• The more traditional-minded may prefer a basil pesto. Also, you can eliminate the cream and top the soup with a dollop of crème fraîche or Greek-style yogurt and a drizzle of pesto.
