• Add grated cheese, hot pepper sauce, crushed red pepper and black pepper.

• Pour into bowls or cups, and serve with crackers (I crush mine into the soup).

SPICY FRESH TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, wine, water, basil, tomato paste, sugar, pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cover, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth, or blend in batches in a blender. Return to the heat, stir in Parmesan cheese, and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.

SPICY TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Drain 1 can tomatoes, discarding juice, then purée with remaining can tomatoes (including juice) in a blender.
• Cook onion, garlic, chile, and ginger in oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy nonreactive pot over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Add cumin and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in puréed tomatoes, broth, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Working in 3 or 4 batches, blend soup in blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Transfer soup as blended to a sieve set over a large bowl and force through sieve, discarding seeds.
• Stir in sugar and salt to taste. Reheat in cleaned saucepan if necessary.

SPICY TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and very tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, plus the water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded, about 30 minutes. (If you're in a hurry, you can skip the simmer time -- just add a bit less water.)
• Add the basil, season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat, and let cool briefly, about 5 minutes.
• Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large, heatproof bowl.
• Using a blender, purée the soup in batches until smooth, removing the small cap from the blender lid (the pour lid) and covering the space with a kitchen towel (this allows steam from the hot soup to escape and prevents the blender lid from popping off).
• Pour the blended soup through the strainer, pressing on the solids with a rubber spatula or ladle; discard the solids. Taste the soup and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
• Return the soup to the saucepan and reheat on medium low until hot.
• If you choose, serve topped with a tablespoon of crème fraîche.

SPICY TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir in onions and bay leaves, and cook about 5 minutes until the onions begin to soften. Add flour, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric, and Indian chili powder. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Pour the water into the pan, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom with a wooden spoon. Pour in the tomato puree and thin with additional water to desired consistency. Add sugar and salt; cook until sugar is dissolved and soup is hot, about 5 minutes.
• Remove bay leaves and serve with cream if desired.
