Tomato Soup With Gremolata Recipes

SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook 30 seconds more. Stir in broth, split peas, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, partially covered, until peas are falling apart, about 1 1/4 hours.
• Meanwhile, stir together parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, paprika, and salt in a small bowl.
• Remove thyme sprigs and bay leaf from soup; discard. Add more broth or water to thin as desired, and more salt to taste. Serve topped with gremolata.

TOMATO SOUP WITH GREMOLATA

Steps:

• In a large shallow pan, fry the onion and garlic in the olive oil on a low heat for 8 mins; do not brown. Roughly chop the tomatoes and add along with the sugar, vinegar, 750ml water and seasoning. Bring to the boil and simmer for 35 mins, stirring from time to time.
• Whizz with a hand-held blender until smooth. For an ultra-smooth, dinner party-style soup, you can pass the liquid through a fine sieve, but this is quite fiddly and your blender will give perfectly good results.
• For the gremolata, mix together the lemon zest, juice, olive oil, garlic and parsley, then serve on top of the soup.
