Tomato Soup Ingredients
- 675g tomatoes
- 30ml/2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
- 4 spring onions (scallions), chopped
- 2.5ml/½ tsp crushed garlic
- 30ml/2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 bay leaf
- 5ml/1 tsp salt
- 5ml/1 tsp crushed black peppercorns
- 750ml/3 cups water
- 15ml/1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
- 30ml/2 tbsp single (light) cream, to serve
Procedure
1 To peel the tomatoes, plunge them into very hot water, then lift them out more or less straight away using a slotted spoon. The skin should now peel off quickly and easily. Once this is done, chop the tomatoes roughly.
2 In a medium pan, heat the oil and fry the chopped tomatoes, bay leaf and chopped spring onions for a few minutes until soft and translucent, but not browned.
3 Gradually add the salt, garlic, peppercorns and fresh coriander to the tomato mixture, finally adding the water.
4 Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, dissolve the cornflour in a little cold water, and set aside.
5 Remove the soup from the heat and press through a sieve (strainer) over a bowl. Discard the sieved vegetables.
6 Return to the pan, add the cornflour mixture and simmer over a gentle heat, stirring continuously, for about 3 minutes until thickened.
7 Pour into individual warmed soup bowls and serve piping hot, with a swirl of cream.
COOK’S TIP
The best tomatoes to use for this soup are ripe Italian plum tomatoes. If the only fresh tomatoes available are rather pale and under-ripe, add 15ml/1 tbsp tomato purée (paste) to the pan with the chopped tomatoes. This will enhance the color and flavor of the soup.
