Tomato Soup Recipe

Posted in Recipes VIdeos | 六月 13th, 2010

This wonderful comes from the Bistro Jeanty restaurant in Yountville, California. It’s one of many fantastic restaurant recipes in Napa Valley. You will need 2 1/2 lbs ripe/juicy tomatoes, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 pound of onion, 6 garlic cloves, 1/4 c of tomato paste, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 Tb. pepper corns, 1 tsp. thyme, 4 cups heavy cream, 1 tbsp butter. Salt to taste, 1/2 tsp white pepper, 1 lb. puff pastry, 1 egg. Procedure: Melt the ½ cup butter in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the onions, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and peppercorns; cover and cook for about 5 minutes. Do not let the onions color. Add tomato paste and lightly “toast” the tomato paste to cook out the raw flavor the add tomatoes, and water if needed. Simmer over low heat for 30-40 minutes, until the tomatoes and onions are very soft and broken down. Puree by passing through a food mill. A food mill works best however you may use a blender in batches or a handheld immersion blender until finished, the strain. Return the o the pot. Add the cream, salt, white pepper and remaining butter to taste. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat. Allow the to cool for two hours or overnight – in the refrigerator. Divide the among six 8-ounce cups or bowls. Roll out the puff pastry to 1/4 inch. Cut into 6 rounds slightly larger than your cups. Paint the dough with the egg wash and turn the circles, egg wash side down, over the tops of the cups, pulling lightly on the sides …

    I just posted a video response that puts a unique spin on tomato soup with lentils. Definitely more healthy than this recipe, but this one sure looks delicious. I’m all about the immersion blenders, too.

    Yes, you can certainly leave out the cream and make it as chunky as you like. Glad you enjoyed the recipe!

    Heavy cream is a full-fat cream (but not whipped). Do you have anything like that in Russia?

    What do you think about using oil instead of butter, and vegetable broth instead of heavy cream in the soup? My family loves tomato soup but rarely has any because of the high sodium content of the canned varieties or high fat content in other versions. I’m wondering how to make tomato soup for a family with diabetes, high blood pressure and a history of heart disease!!!

    You can certainly try it that way. You don’t even need to add the vegetable broth. Just puree the soup without the cream. Hope you enjoy it! Jason

    And you can eat the soup without putting the puff pastry right? maybe let it cook more minutes in the stockpot ..how much?

    ohhh btw totally subscribe (:

    @lalaylonen Yes, you can omit the pastry. Just serve it after the regular cooking time. No need for extra cooking beyond that; that was just to brown the pastry.

    When I was in France I learned that you can eat like that – butter, cream, etc – but portion control is key. People in France aren’t massive and pear shaped like Americans because they don’t gorge themselves at every meal on high calorie, sugar-laden fast food.

    Thanks for the awesome recipe, btw. :)
