10 Minute Tuscan Tomato Soup With Parmesan Toasts Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; add chopped onion, chopped carrot, and chopped celery. Cook until softened, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Stir in tomato passata and milk. Season with salt, cover and simmer tomato sauce until flavors are well combined, 20 minutes.
• Combine whole onion, whole carrot, and whole celery stalk in a stockpot; cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes. Strain vegetables and keep stock warm.
• Stir 1 1/2 cups stock into tomato sauce. Add stale bread; stir and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the bread to soften.
• Combine tomato-bread mixture, 1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a blender; blend until mixture has consistency of a mousse.
• Ladle soup into bowls and serve with shaved Parmesan cheese and drizzled with remaining olive oil. Garnish with basil leaves.

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.
• Spoon into bowls; grind pepper on top.
• For Parmesan toasts, heat broiler.
• Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Place 12 thin slices bread on foil; sprinkle each slice with 1 t grated Parmesan cheese.
• Broil 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted.

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.

Steps:

• Remove cores from tomatoes and cut in half crosswise. Reserve until needed.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and anchovy and cook until garlic is sizzling in the hot fat, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Carefully add the tomatoes with their juices, salt, and red pepper flakes. Toss with a spoon every few minutes until the tomatoes release their liquid and start to break down.
• Once the tomatoes have softened and start to collapse, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have fallen apart and the soup resembles a coarse tomato sauce, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone liner. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Top each slice with sliced basil, and then Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is well browned and crispy around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Remove soup from heat and pass through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Use the back of a ladle to push all the tomato mixture through. Discard the skins and seeds, which should be the only things left in the strainer.
• Transfer the strained tomato soup back into the saucepan and place back over medium-low heat. Continue cooking to thicken slightly, if desired, or simply bring back to a simmer and serve immediately with the cheese toasts.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium large soup pot.
• Add onions and cook over medium-low heat until completely translucent.
• Add tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
• Add chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and allow to simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add whipping cream. Add pesto.
• Blend to desired consistency with hand blender, food processor or blender.
• Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large wide pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender and lightly browned in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the mixture is well coated, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, parmesan rind, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring.
• Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the soup is slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes; discard the bay leaves and Parmesan rind. Blend the soup in the pot with an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the soup among bowls. Top with basil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

Steps:

• Puree the tomatoes, celery and broth in a blender until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Season with lemon juice and maple syrup. Stir in cream.
• Transfer to a microwave safe bowl. Heat in microwave on HIGH until warmed through, about 4 minutes. (Alternatively, heat the old-fashioned way in a pan.) Pour hot soup into an air-tight thermos. Pack in a lunch sack and send off to school.

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.
