Creamy Tomato Soup Wlump Of Crab Drizzled With Truffle Oil Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp and most of the fat has rendered, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Lower the heat to medium, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and crush the tomatoes through your fingers into the pan. Bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Tie the parsley sprigs, thyme, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Remove and discard the herb bundle. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the puree to the pot and reheat over medium heat.
• Whisk in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, to taste. Divide among warm soup bowls and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine broth and tomatoes in a medium saucepan over moderate heat. When soup bubbles, stir in heavy cream and reduce heat to low. Season with a little salt and pepper and simmer gently 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. With an immersion blender, puree soup. Serve bowls of soup with basil chiffonade and floating Soup Toppers.
• Toast bread slices in your toaster until golden. Rub the toasted bread rounds with crushed garlic, if using. Arrange bread on cookie or baking sheet. Drizzle each slice with extra-virgin oil and top with a grind of black pepper and a layer of shredded cheese. Place under hot broiler to melt cheese until toppers are golden brown in color.

Steps:

• Place a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until just fragrant. Place 8 quarters of the bread into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds on each side. Remove the bread and set aside for serving.
• Add the garlic, onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the oil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions start to lose their color and soften, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook until caramelized, about 1 minute more. Pour in the vegetable stock, canned tomatoes and basil and stir to combine. Swirl 1/2 cup water in each can of tomatoes and pour into the soup. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the onions are soft, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rip the remaining bread into bite-size pieces and submerge them in the cream in a medium bowl.
• Puree the soup until smooth using an immersion blender. Add the cream and bread. Puree again until free of any lumps. Stir in the honey and taste for seasoning. Serve warm, each bowl topped with an olive oil crouton.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic (if using), stirring constantly, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, their juices, and stock. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
• Working in batches, transfer tomato mixture to a blender, food processor, or food mill. Puree tomato mixture (if using a blender, cover the lid with a kitchen towel while machine is running).
• Return soup to a clean pot and set over low heat. Whisk in cream, if desired; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or transfer soup to a bowl set over an ice-water bath to cool completely. Transfer cooled soup to an airtight container and refrigerate. Reheat over medium heat until heated through.

Steps:

• Put the oil, onions, celery, carrots, potatoes and bay leaves in a big casserole dish, or two saucepans. Fry gently until the onions are softened - about 10-15 mins. Fill the kettle and boil it.
• Stir in the tomato purée, sugar, vinegar, chopped tomatoes and passata, then crumble in the stock cubes. Add 1 litre boiling water and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 15 mins until the potato is tender, then remove the bay leaves. Purée with a stick blender (or ladle into a blender in batches) until very smooth. Season to taste and add a pinch more sugar if it needs it. The soup can now be cooled and chilled for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
• To serve, reheat the soup, stirring in the milk - try not to let it boil. Serve in small bowls for the children with cheesy sausage rolls then later in bowls for the adults as Hot Bloody Mary soup (see 'Goes well with' recipes, below).

Steps:

• Have large soup pot brought to medium-high heat, then add 4 tablepoons of butter (add a little bit of olive oil so butter will not burn), chopped celantro, chopped roasted peppers, and basil and saute for about a min and a half. After sauteing celantro, peppers, and basil add Rice flour and baking powder until thoroughly cooked, no lumps... Once rue is set, add tomatoes, water, red wine, 1/2 cup of evaporated milk, salt, black pepper, agave nectar, paprika and mix and bring to a boil. while waiting for tomatoes to come to a boil, take the 6 cloves or garlic, out of their peel and place in a bowl dish with a litte of white truffle oil barely covering and roast till lightly browned. Once tomatoes are to a boil, let them cool, also your roasted garlic should be done and place them out to cool as well. After a few minutes of cool down, put all contents in a food processor or blender until all contents are pureed, also while pureeing you can add the rest of the evaporated milk. Put contents back into the soup pot and reduce until soup is thickened and excess water has evaporated. While waiting for soup to reduce, take a small skillet and on medium heat, add 1/2 tablespoon of butter and minced garlic soaked in white truffle oil and saute for 30 secs, then add 40 oz of crab meat and saute for about 1 min. (the rest 40oz could be used for seconds) Once all complete, add crab meat in a serving bowl (moderate amount), pour soup until crab meat is fully covered, then drizzle white truffle oil on top and a few leaves of celantro.
