This soup is seriously good! I made it a few nights ago, inspired by a recipe in BBC Good Food, and even my cold-infested tastebuds got a real kick out of this! The acidity of fresh tomatoes is heightened by the use of vinegar, and coupled with the sweetness of the sugar, and with the cayenne.. oh, amazing. This is something I can't wait to make again.
Terrific Tomato Soup
Serves 2, generously, or 4 as a starter. Can easily be doubled.
1 kilo fresh tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic
3 shallots
400 ml water
1,5 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1-2 tbsp olive oil
salt
1-2 tsp cayenne pepper
pesto, to serve
Cut the tomatoes into large dice. Chop shallots and garlic coarsely. Fry in the olive oil in a large pan (big enough to hold the soup) on low heat for about ten minutes. The garlic and shallots should turn soft, but not brown. Add the sugar, the vinegar and the water, together with the tomatoes. Bring to a boil, and let cook on medium heat, partially covered, for about 35 minutes. Stir once in a while.
Using an immersion blender, or a regular one, mix the soup until smooth. Season with salt and cayenne - don't skimp, you need quite a bit to get the kick this soup should have!
Serve with a dollop of pesto, and a good crusty bread.

Åh, jag är ingen fan av tomatbaserade såser och soppor, men du den här lät god och om man tittar på väderleken utanför så vore den tämligen perfekt precis just idag...:)
Jag tycker att den här soppan lät underbart god ska prova den...kram och tack för goda recept.
Pia - jag är egentligen inte heller sådär superförtjust i tomatbaserat, men den här.. åh, den var faktiskt riktigt god.
Ehva - kram på dig själv, och hoppas du gillar soppan :)
det här är min favorit, 4Bs är en restaurangkedja som fanns i Montana när jag bodde där.
4bs old fashion tomato soup
32 oz. canned diced tomatoes
9 oz. can chicken broth
1 oz. butter (1-2 tbs)
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp chopped onion (i tend to use more)
a pinch of baking soda
2 cup heavy cream
mix first 6 ingredients together in a deep saucepan. simmer 1 hour. heat
cream before adding to soup base; add milk and stir to mix.
serve hot.
i also take about half of the initial mixture of tomatoes and run it through a blender.
oj jag ser att receptet ser konstigt ut men det är grädden som ska värmas och sen ska ordet milk ersättas mot cream...
Anne,
I make a similar soup, but with more gatlic added in two separate steps.
ohya, that looks delicious. craving tomatos so much lately...
Wow, looks so simple and delicious! Perfect for this week, since it's cooled off here in CA.
Mmmm... ser ut som en perfekt höst soppa. Den ska jag komma i håg att testa.
what kind of tomatos did you use?
Virvla, tack!
Kevin - more garlic is always good!
Sarah - thank you, I'll post something tomorrow :)
Lena, oddsen är att du kanske blir bjuden på den rentav.
Gustad - just regular boring ones.. the cheapest the store had - vine-ripened from Holland, I think. Nothing special.
Angeljolie - no, that's the beauty of it. :) No tedious peeling!
