Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I have already puréed my Roma tomatoes in 16 ounce bags and they are frozen and ready to be used for cooking. How many ounces of tomatoes did your 5 pounds make do you think?
Used the last of my summer garden tomatoes, about 10. Skinned them in hot water, cut in half and added them with chicken broth.Tossed in a few fresh basil leaves before blending. It was delicious. Approved by my picky grandson.
No, I did not. There is a video in the post to watch if needed.
Did you remove skin from tomato before roasting?
Just use a knife or a glass and smash it down. Smashing just releases the flavor while still in chunks. You can chop it into chunks if you prefer!
What do you smash garlic with? I've only ever minced it.
No problem Mike! Yes, I just blend it all up. 🙂
Thanks Wendie, not sure how I missed the mention of basil since it's right there in the recipe!
One last question - do you remove the tomato skins after roasting or do you just blend it all up?
Thanks Mike it is yummy! You don't need to ad the cream, it just makes the soup creamier. There is fresh basil added at the end, and yes red pepper flakes would be the same as chili flakes. Hope this helps and you enjoy it 🙂
This looks really nice - might try it this weekend but I had a couple of questions:
1. I'd be inclined to leave out the cream as I try to only make healthy soups - do you think the cream is absolutely necessary?
2. For tomato soup I usually also add about 2 tbsp of fresh green basil near the end - do you think this would work for this soup or would it clash with the garlic?
3. Are "red pepper flakes" the same as dried chili flakes?
Thanks!
