How to cook tomato soup. Tomato puree soup (classic recipe)

Tomato puree soup is my husband's favorite soup. He can eat it as often as I cook it. Luckily, supermarkets now sell fresh tomatoes in their own juice in tins, which are perfect for making this soup all year round. But, of course, you will get the most delicious tomato puree soup from fresh ripe tomatoes; these are the tomatoes you should choose for soup.

Today I suggest you prepare tomato puree soup in the classic version. The presence of tomatoes, basil, olive oil and onions is the classic composition of the soup. You can add different spices, cream, cheese, but this is already a bonus to the classic version.

So, let’s prepare all the products according to the list and start preparing the classic tomato puree soup.

Let's start with the fact that in the classic version of preparing this soup, the tomatoes are pre-baked in the oven and only then added to the soup.

Wash the tomatoes and cut them into halves or quarters. Place the chopped tomatoes on a baking sheet. To avoid having to wash the baking sheet later, cover it with foil. Sprinkle the tomato pieces with dried garlic and dried basil. Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 190 degrees, you can turn on the grill, for 20 minutes.

While the tomatoes are cooking, prepare the remaining soup ingredients. Finely chop the onion with a knife or chopper.

In a thick-bottomed saucepan, first heat the olive oil, then add the butter and let the oil warm up, then fry the onion in the oil until soft for 10 minutes.

Remove the baking sheet with tomatoes from the oven. You can remove the skin from the tomatoes, or you can leave them. Transfer the tomatoes to the pan with the onions. Add nutmeg, salt and ground black pepper.

Add 200 ml of boiling water to the pan. Cook the soup over medium heat for 15 minutes until the tomatoes are almost completely softened.

Remove the pot of soup from the heat. Puree the soup with a blender until smooth.

IMPORTANT: if your tomatoes are not sweet enough and the soup turns out sour, add a little sugar to taste.

Classic tomato puree soup is ready! Pour the soup into serving bowls. Add pieces of fried bacon, cream, cheese or just croutons as desired.

Bon appetit!

Not so long ago and completely unexpectedly, I discovered first courses with the addition of fresh tomatoes, just before serving. A somewhat unusual approach for us. Tomato soup, unlike regular soup, becomes tastier and pleasing to the eye. It turned out that the addition of fresh tomatoes to ready-made soups is not uncommon in world cuisines.

I always believed that tomato soup should be prepared with the addition of tomato paste or ripe tomato puree, and ideally, tomato is the basis of the soup. In the summer we often prepare cool tomato soup, based on the common Spanish version. And with the addition of tomato paste it is convenient to cook red, since with fresh tomato puree I don’t really like the result, as one friend said - there is no drive.

But even in the hot season, few people will refuse a bowl of hot soup for breakfast. Frankly, I don’t really like soup for breakfast, but I will definitely eat chicken noodle soup. Quite often at home for breakfast we prepare pasta with various simple sauces. Such morning dishes fill you up until lunch and are prepared very quickly. The simplest option is . Tomato sauce made from fresh tomatoes with the addition of tomato pieces without heat treatment.

For breakfast, it is ideal to prepare a thick soup of tomatoes and small soup noodles. A special paste for soup, which is produced by all manufacturers, is small and cooks very quickly. The types of soup paste usually sold are vermicelli, appelli, filini, etc. They differ in shape and size, but the essence remains the same. This is fresh dried dough made from high-quality durum wheat flour.

Tomato soup with the addition of vegetables and small soup noodles can be prepared from any ripe tomatoes. Size doesn't matter. But, if the tomatoes are large, you should peel them and remove the seeds.

When planning to prepare the first dish of tomatoes, you need to prepare ripe, but not overripe and soft tomatoes. If the tomatoes are overripe, they will make a good homemade one, but you shouldn’t add them to the soup. As a base for the soup, you need to cook vegetable broth and season it with fried onions and tomatoes. Boil small vermicelli to make the tomato soup thick. And, at the very end, add fresh tomatoes and a lot of herbs.

Tomato soup. Step by step recipe

Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Small soup vermicelli 100 g
  • Small red or cherry tomatoes 200 g
  • Large ripe tomato 1 PC
  • Parsley 5-6 sprigs
  • Onion 1 piece
  • Garlic 1-2 cloves
  • Carrot 1 piece
  • Olive oil 1 tbsp. l.
  • Salt, black pepper, dry hot pepper, coriander, allspice, dry mixture of Mediterranean herbs spices
  1. To boil vermicelli and prepare tomato soup, you need to prepare vegetable broth. It is enough to boil a standard set of soup vegetables and roots for up to half an hour. In a simple version, bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a saucepan, throw in peeled and halved carrots, 1-2 peeled cloves of garlic, and a whole peeled onion. If desired, you can add parsnip, parsley and celery root.

    Make a simple vegetable broth for soup

  2. Vegetable broth must be boiled with spices. To prevent spices from floating in the broth, before adding them to the broth, it is better to put them in a sachet bag or in a rare nylon fabric, tying it with a knot. Then the spices will flavor the broth, they can be removed at the right time and thrown away. I advise you to use 1-2 dry hot peppers - they will not greatly increase the spiciness of the tomato soup. Add a quarter teaspoon each of coriander peas and black (multi-colored) pepper. And also a few peas of allspice and 0.5 tsp. dry aromatic herbs characteristic of Mediterranean cuisine - oregano, savory, basil, etc.

    It is better to cook spices for soup in a cloth or sachet bag

  3. Cook the vegetables with spices for up to half an hour, then discard the bag of spices and the onion, and leave the boiled carrots and garlic for serving the dish.

    Vegetables and herbs for soup

  4. While the broth is cooking, heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Peel a medium-sized onion and finely chop with a knife. Stirring constantly, fry the onion until golden brown. Meanwhile, peel a large ripe tomato from the skin and seeds, and finely chop the pulp with a knife.

    Fry onions in olive oil

  5. Add the tomato to the fried onion, add a pinch of salt. If desired, especially if the tomato is not the most ripe, you can add a pinch of sugar. Fry the onion and tomato for 3-4 minutes, then add a quarter cup of broth, which is prepared separately. Simmer the onion and tomato under the lid over low heat for more than 10 minutes. It is necessary that the dressing for the tomato soup is thick enough and the onions are completely soft.

    Add tomato and broth to the onion, simmer covered

  6. When the broth is cooked and the tomato dressing is ready, mix them in a saucepan and add the fine paste. You should not use paste of unknown origin. Most likely, cheap noodles from an unknown manufacturer are made from soft flour. This paste will boil and swell very quickly.

    Small soup vermicelli

  7. For the first course you need high-quality pasta made from durum wheat flour. Small vermicelli in the form of short strings - filini, small rings anelli, stars stelline and others are well suited.

    Add vermicelli to soup

  8. Small pasta in soup cooks very quickly - usually 3-4 minutes. Stirring, cook the vermicelli in the soup until tender. The pasta boiling time is always indicated on the package, and the manufacturer guarantees al dente readiness during this time. There is no need to overcook the vermicelli. In addition, the soup should not be heated, but consumed immediately while it is hot. As it cools, the paste will swell and the soup will remain practically without liquid - just pasta boiled in broth.

    Thick tomato soup

    Ingredients:

    Chicken fillet 1 piece
    Young zucchini 1-2 pieces
    Carrot 1 piece
    Onion 1 piece
    Ripe tomato 3-4 pcs.
    Garlic 1-2 cloves
    Olive oil 2 tbsp
    Salt, black pepper, sugar, dry aromatic herbs, fresh dill to taste

    Preparation:

    First, let's prepare tomato puree from ripe and fresh tomatoes. Scald the tomatoes with boiling water and remove the skins from them. Cut the tomatoes crosswise into two halves and remove the seeds with a spoon. Cut out the growth area, the tail. Place the pulp in a blender and grind until pureed. This will be the base of the tomato soup.

    Peel the onion and finely chop. Also peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel the carrots and cut into small cubes.

    Zucchini, if they are young, do not need to be peeled. Just cut them into cubes. Or cut lengthwise into four pieces and cut crosswise into 1.5 cm wide pieces.

    Heat 2 tbsp in a saucepan. olive oil and fry the chopped onion in it for 2-3 minutes.

    Add garlic and chopped carrots to the saucepan. Add a little salt and pepper, continue to fry over medium heat for another 5 minutes, stirring.

    Cut the chicken fillet into pieces. The size of the cut is arbitrary, but I recommend no larger than the zucchini is cut. Add the fillet to the saucepan and fry until the chicken turns white. Usually it's 5-6 minutes. At this stage, you can add aromatic herbs; they won’t hurt. There are good options for Mediterranean or Italian herb blends. Add to taste.

    Add chopped zucchini.

    Pour a quarter glass of water into the saucepan and simmer everything under the lid over low heat for 20-25 minutes. Keep in mind that chicken and zucchini will provide plenty of liquid, so don't add too much water.
    Add prepared tomato puree and 1 tsp. Sahara. If you find the soup too thick, add a little water, or preferably white table wine.

    Cook for 10 minutes from the moment of boiling.

    Pour the finished soup into bowls and garnish with fresh dill.

    Tomato puree soup


    This wonderful tomato puree soup may seem simple and unpretentious. But once you cook it at least once, you will fall in love with the recipe once and for all.

    To make tomato puree soup nutritious and tasty, you will need:
    (calculation based on a 2-liter pan)

    600-700 grams of tomatoes in their own juice, without skin
    400-500 grams of broth set (bones, offal, etc.)
    150 grams of short durum wheat pasta
    2 potatoes
    1 onion
    half a sweet pepper
    6-7 pitted olives
    1 clove of garlic
    salt, pepper - to taste
    some herbs and cream for serving
    Also take, if desired, a bay leaf and a mixture of Italian herbs (marjoram, balisic, oregano, thyme).

    Preparation:

    First, prepare the broth. To do this, fill the broth set with cold water and place on high heat. When the broth boils, skim off the foam, add the bay leaf and simmer for 25-30 minutes.

    Peel the vegetables: potatoes, onions, peppers, garlic. Cut the potatoes and bell peppers into cubes, the onion into large segments, and leave the garlic whole.

    Add the potatoes to the broth and let them simmer for 10 minutes.

    After this, take out the “spent” broth set, add onions, peppers, garlic and tomatoes along with the juice to the pan. Salt and pepper the soup, add herbs.

    Cook the soup until the potatoes are ready - 15-20 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, boil the pasta until half cooked. It is necessary to choose high-quality pasta made from durum wheat, because ordinary pasta in the soup will swell too much and may begin to disintegrate.

    After this, remove the bay leaf and puree the soup in a blender until smooth.

    Then return the tomato puree soup to low heat. Drain the pasta and add it to the soup.

    Let the soup simmer for another 3-4 minutes.

    Pour the finished aromatic tomato puree soup into bowls, add olives cut into slices, a tablespoon of cream to each, garnish with chopped herbs and serve quickly.

    Recipe for tomato soup with garlic sauce and cheese

    For tomato soup you will need:

    Ripe tomatoes - 1 kg.

    Fresh sweet pepper - 2 pcs. (preferably red, but if you only have yellow or green, no problem)

    Fresh carrots - 2 pcs. medium size

    Onion - 1 pc. (large)

    Fresh herbs (dill, parsley - optional)

    Cheese - 200 g.

    Loaf or white bread - 1\2 (for crackers)

    For the sauce:

    sour cream 200-300 g,

    garlic - 2-3 cloves

    Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp for frying vegetables.

    Sugar - 1 dec. spoon

    Salt - to taste

    Preparation:

    1. Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, make a small cross-shaped cut with a knife and pour boiling water over them. At the place of the cut, we grab the skin with a knife and carefully remove it. In principle, aesthetics are of no use here, since we will still send the peeled tomatoes to the blender, so the word “neatness” applies more to your hands and handling of the knife :).

    2. Cut the peeled tomatoes into pieces and place them in a blender bowl. Turn on the grinding mode and wait until the tomatoes are converted into puree. This fairly quick process will take 1-2 minutes.

    3. Wash the onions and carrots, get rid of the peel and the top layer of husk. We also wash the pepper, cut it into two halves and get rid of the seeds so that the halves are hollow.

    4. Cut the vegetables into cubes of the same size (up to 1 cm).

    5. Place this mass of chopped vegetables in a heated frying pan, add a little vegetable oil and fry over low heat for about 20 minutes until the vegetables release their juice and become soft.

    6. While our vegetables are fried, cut the loaf into cubes (approximately 1 - 1.5 cm), place on a lightly greased baking sheet in a well-heated oven for 5-7 minutes. You will easily understand and will not miss the moment when the pieces of loaf turn into crackers by their ruddy color and pleasant aroma. Place the finished crackers in a container and lightly sprinkle with finely chopped herbs for flavor.

    7. Place the tomato puree from the blender into the pan in which we will cook the soup, add a glass of boiled water (but I recommend doing this if the tomatoes were very meaty and the puree turned out to be quite thick - in general, this moment is not for everybody, but in my case, even with water, the soup was quite thick). We also place fried vegetables and a dessert spoon of sugar here. Mix everything and add salt. Cook over medium heat until it boils, then reduce the heat to low and keep on the stove for another 3 minutes.

    8. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing for our soup. To do this, mix sour cream and crushed garlic using a press in a small deep bowl, salt and pepper the whole mass. This is our gas station.

    10. So, the soup is ready. Pour it hot into plates and add a little chopped cheese and herbs, a handful of crackers and a spoonful of sour cream and garlic dressing to each container of soup. Mix and consume. I recommend not hiding the dish with croutons too far, and adding new ones as the croutons become soggy.

    Tomato puree soup

    You can customize the soup slightly to suit your preferences by adding other spices and herbs. For example, curry, paprika, and any spicy herbs are perfect.

    Ingredients:

    Carrots - 1 pc.
    Stem celery - 1 pc. (one stem)
    Onion - 1 pc.
    Garlic - 1 tooth.
    Olive oil - 1 tbsp. (for frying)
    Broth – 800 ml
    Tomatoes in their own juice - 400 g
    Tomato - 3 pcs.
    Basil - 1 sprig(s)
    Salt - to taste
    Black pepper - to taste

    Preparation:

    First, cut the vegetables for the soup: cut the carrots and celery quite coarsely.

    Chop the onion and garlic more finely.

    If you have a thick-walled pan, then use it immediately. Heat a spoonful of olive oil and fry all the vegetables at once for 10-15 minutes until soft.

    Chop fresh tomatoes quite coarsely.

    Heat the broth in a saucepan, add fresh and canned tomatoes and fried vegetables to it, bring to a boil. Then cook for 10 minutes over low heat.

    Now the soup can be removed from the heat, salt and pepper, add fresh basil and puree with an immersion blender. You can also use a stationary blender: cool the soup a little and pour into the blender bowl, in parts if necessary. Be sure to close the blender lid tightly while blending.

    If the soup has cooled, reheat it briefly before serving and add salt if necessary.

    This puree soup tolerates freezing well: after cooking, it must be cooled and poured into containers (do not forget to leave space under the lid, the soup will increase in size when frozen).

    To defrost the soup, place it in the refrigerator for several hours (or overnight), then reheat over low heat or in the microwave.

    Please note that additives such as croutons, rice, pasta, fresh chopped herbs, and especially cream must be added to the pureed soup after defrosting.

    Cold tomato soup with shrimp and noodles

    Ingredients:

    Tomato – 600 g
    Leek - 1 pc.
    Shrimp – 200 g
    Butter - 1 tbsp.
    Noodles – 150 g
    Garlic - 2 teeth.
    Basil - to taste
    Dill - to taste
    Salt - to taste
    Mixed peppers - to taste
    Water - 1 l

    Preparation:

    First you need to prepare the vegetables. We will sauté them in butter. Leeks need to be cut into thin rings and stewed in oil until transparent.

    At this point it's time to add the tomatoes. You need to remove the skin from fresh tomatoes by first making characteristic cuts and pouring boiling water over the tomatoes. Now chop them finely and add them to the pan with the onions. A little later, we’ll add finely chopped garlic to the soup dressing, and at the very end of the stew we’ll add herbs.

    What kind of greens to take - the choice is yours. For me, the combination of tomatoes and basil is classic. At the same time, I can’t imagine shrimp (and seafood in general) without dill. This is where the bouquet of greens for my soup came from. But you can choose herbs to taste.

    The soup fry is ready.

    In parallel with simmering the tomato soup dressing, we will prepare the base for the soup. You need to boil the noodles in the pre-cooked broth. I used store-bought noodles made from durum wheat, which means the cooking time will range from 7 to 10 minutes (the dressing in the pan will arrive in time).

    In the meantime, you need to prepare the shrimp. I admit that I rarely buy raw shrimp, more often I buy boiled-frozen ones. There is no hassle at all with them, you just need to warm them up. This can be done in different ways: literally put it in boiling water for 1 minute, adding a little dill and lemon juice; Or you can simply reheat the shrimp in the microwave. After defrosting, the shrimp must be peeled.

    So, all the parts of cold tomato soup that were previously prepared separately can be put together. Add tomato soup dressing from the frying pan to the noodles, shrimp cut into arbitrary pieces, some fresh herbs, salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for literally 1 minute, this short time is enough for all the ingredients to penetrate each other with both taste and aroma.

    The soup is ready. Can be eaten hot. Or you can cool it. And then treat your guests to cold tomato soup, which exquisitely absorbs the motifs of Mediterranean, Balkan and Italian cuisine.

    A very tasty and light dish is tomato puree soup. The classic recipe for this treat includes lots of fresh ripe tomatoes and assorted spices. This soup can be prepared using either water or vegetable or meat broth.
