Tomato Soup With Parmesan Recipes

TOMATO PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium sized pot, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat for 30 seconds.
• Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the onion has softened.
• Add the tomatoes, broth, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt and bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer into a blender, being careful to allow steam to escape, and blend for 10-20 seconds until slightly chunky.
• Garnish with fresh basil or additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

CREAMY TOMATO PARMESAN SOUP

PARMESAN BASIL TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato soup and bring to a boil. Add Parmesan cheese, basil, and rosemary. Season with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes more.

CHEF

Steps:

• 1 Preheat oven to 450°F. 2 Strain diced tomatoes, reserving juice. Combine diced tomatoes, olive oil, salt and black pepper in bowl; gently toss to blend. Place on baking sheet lined with foil and roast uncovered for 20 minutes; reserve. 3 Melt butter in heavy soup pot, add onion and celery and cook over medium-low heat until onions are golden and tender. 4 Add flour and stir to blend; cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. 5 Add chicken broth, reserved tomatoes and juice, basil and sugar, stir until fully blended. 6 Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. 7 Add Parmesan cheese and stir to blend. Serve garnished with additional Parmesan, if desired.

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.

10-MINUTE TUSCAN TOMATO SOUP WITH PARMESAN TOASTS

Steps:

• Put sauce, beans, peppers, oil and garlic in a blender or food processor; process until smooth.
• Pour into medium saucepan along with the broth.
• Stirring often, bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Remove from heat; stir in basil.

• For Parmesan toasts, heat broiler.

• Place 12 thin slices bread on foil; sprinkle each slice with 1 t grated Parmesan cheese.
• Broil 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted.

TOMATO COLD SOUP WITH PARMESAN CHEESE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes and basil into a large pot or bowl. Use a stick blender, food processor, or blender to puree the tomatoes and basil together. Gradually blend in the oil to form a good emulsion. If pureeing the mixture in smaller batches, add a bit of oil to each one. Season with salt and ground black pepper, but remember, the Parmesan ice cream will be salty. Place the tomato preparation in the refrigerator while the ice cream is prepared.
• Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and continue to cook and stir until the cheese is melted, and the mixture is uniform. Season with a dash of freshly ground black pepper, and remove to a small bowl to cool. This will temper the mixture, so it will freeze more smoothly and evenly. When the cheese mixture has cooled a bit, place it in the freezer.
• Take the tomato mixture from the refrigerator, and pass it through a chinois, food mill or strainer with medium holes to remove bits of peel and seeds. The result should be a creamy liquid, not a tomato juice.
• Serve the cold soup in small bowls or large cups. Make little balls with the frozen cheese using a dessert spoon. Place a little ball of the Parmesan ice cream into each bowl just before serving.
