Tomato Soup With Parmesan Croutons Recipes

TOMATO SOUP WITH PARMESAN CROUTONS

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat, then add onion, garlic, and carrots. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir it in, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Add canned tomatoes with their juice, broth, and water. Stir together and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, longer if you have time. Use an immersion blender to puree, still leaving some texture to the tomatoes. Add cream, salt, pepper, parsley, and basil, and simmer for another 5 minutes. To make the croutons, drizzle crostini rounds lightly with olive oil. Place little piles of Parmesan in a nonstick skillet. Place a crostini round on top of each pile. Turn on the heat to medium. Press with a spatula as you melt the cheese into each round. When set, flip to the other side to toast. Serve soup with one or two croutons on top and a little bit of basil.NOTE: Recipe can easily be halved!

ROASTED TOMATO SOUP WITH PARMESAN CROUTONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Measure out 2 tablespoons of the reserved tomato juice and olive oil mixture from the Meal Prep Roasted Tomatoes. Place the bread on a rimmed baking sheet along with the leaves from 1 sprig of the reserved roasted rosemary and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with the reserved tomato-oil mixture and toss. Spread the bread out evenly and bake until brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Immediately toss with the Parmesan; the residual heat will melt the Parmesan to the croutons. Set aside.
• While the croutons bake, remove and reserve the roasted garlic and remaining rosemary sprigs from the roasted tomatoes. Add the tomatoes with the remaining tomato juice and olive oil mixture to a blender with the leaves from the reserved rosemary sprigs. Set aside.
• Set a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Mince the reserved garlic. When the oil is hot, add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots soften and just begin to brown, 2 to 3 minutes; season with a pinch of salt. Transfer the mixture to the blender and blend on high speed until smooth.
• Pour the tomato mixture back into the saucepan and stir in the stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Season the soup with 2 teaspoons salt. Stir in the cream, reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the lemon juice and add more salt to taste. At this point, you can cool the soup completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 to 3 months.
• When ready to serve, ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with the croutons, pepper and torn basil leaves.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss together the tomatoes, olive oil, rosemary sprigs, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until everything is evenly coated. Divide between 2 rimmed baking sheets and bake until the garlic begins to brown and the tomatoes just begin to burst, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Transfer the tomatoes, garlic, rosemary sprigs and tomato juice-olive oil mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 4 days. Use these tomatoes to make soup, serve with eggs for breakfast, add to sandwiches or make into a pasta sauce for dinner.

TOMATO-PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Once it starts bubbling, stir in the onions and sauté until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, red-pepper flakes, and generous pinches of salt and pepper, and sauté until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, 1 cup water and the Parmesan rind, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are broken down and the mixture has thickened, about 30 minutes. (If you find during your stirring that the Parmesan rind is stuck to the bottom or sides of the pot, pry it off with a wooden spoon.)
• Remove the rind from the soup, and let cool slightly. If you're planning to make the Parmesan toast, heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Use an immersion blender to purée the soup. (Alternatively, ladle the soup into a blender, and blend until smooth. For a super-smooth soup, run it through a fine-mesh sieve.) Season to taste with salt, pepper and grated Parmesan.
• If you're making the toast, rub 1 side of each slice of baguette with the garlic clove, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle cheese over the top, then bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Serve the soup with a toast alongside or on top.
