Tomato And Vermicelli Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons of the butter and sauté onions until golden.
• With a mortar and pestle, pound together garlic, salt, pepper and coriander seed.
• Stir ground walnuts into onions along with garlic mixture, water and pasta.
• Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
• In a separate pan, cook tomatoes over low heat until softened.
• Stir them into the soup and simmer for 5 minutes more.
• Add parsley, cilantro and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and simmer a few minutes longer before serving.
• Serve hot with warm toasted garlic bread.
• Note: If the tomatoes are not ripe enough for full flavor, either add 1 teaspoon tomato paste or substitute two 16-ounce cans tomatoes, drained.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet and add the canola oil. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, add the tomatoes in a single layer. Season with salt, to taste, and add the sugar. You want to blister the skin slightly, drawing out water from the tomatoes, to intensify their flavor. Add the vermouth. Continue cooking on low heat.
• In a soup pot, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and add the garlic, shallots, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the oregano and stir to blend. Allow to cook, over low heat, until the shallots and garlic become tender and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes and the water. Turn the heat down to medium and cook until the tomato flesh starts to lose shape, 12 to 15 minutes. At this point, the soup should be mushy and blender-ready. If there are still some hard pieces, add a little more water and cook for a few additional minutes. Taste for seasoning.
• Put about half of the tomato soup in the blender and puree until smooth. Next, puree the roasted Roma tomatoes in the blender until smooth, adding the remaining olive oil through the top in a slow, steady stream. Taste for seasoning. Add both back to the remaining chunky soup. Taste for seasoning.
• On a flat surface, slice bread into 4 by 1/2-inch thick slices. Tear each piece into a freeform shape that sits nicely across the top of your soup bowls (the nice torn edges will get super crispy). Set on a sheet tray and toast in oven for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly golden and crispy.
• Ladle the soup into crocks or small oven-proof bowls. Top with 1 piece of toasted bread per bowl. Finish with some shredded mozzarella and broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Place oil in skillet. Cook the dry vermicelli until it is browned but not burnt. Remove from pan and let drain on paper towels.
• 2. Place the tomatoes, onion and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the tomato mixture in a pot and bring to a boil and cook until thickened a bit. Add the stock and remaining ingredients except the cheese. Add the vermicelli
• 3. Bring to a boil lower heat cover and cook until vermicelli is tender. Serve with parmesan cheese and more fresh cilantro

Steps:
