Tomato Soup*

Recipe By : Good Old Food
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups Salads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Onion — coarsely chopped
1 Stalk Celery — coarsely chopped
1 Clove Garlic — finely chopped
2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
1 1/2 Pounds (About 4 Medium-Size) Fresh Tomatoes,
Peeled And Coarsely Chopped
1 Quart Chicken Broth
1 Tablespoon Fresh Thyme Leaves, Chopped Or 1 Tsp Dried
Salt And Pepper
Croutons:
3 Tablespoons Butter
8 Thick Slices French Bread

Heat the butter in a large saucepan over moderate heat. Add the onion,
celery and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the
tomato paste. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth and thyme, and season with
salt and papper to taste. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to
a boil. Lower the temperature and simmer until the vegetables are tender and
the flavors are blended, about 20 minutes. Pour the soup into a food
processor or blender and process until pureed. If using a blender, you will
have to puree the soup in several batches. Strain the puree through a sieve
to remove the tomato seeds, then return the soup to the saucepan and keep it
warm while you make the croutons.

Heat the oven to 425F. Heat the butter in a small pan and brush it on both
sides of the bread slices. Arrange these on a baking tray and bake until
golden brown, about 6 minutes. Serve immediately with the hot soup, either
on the side or floating on the surface.

Garbanzo Bean Soup

Recipe By : FRESH FROM THE FREEZER by Michael Roberts
Serving Size : 9 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beans Soup

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 1/2 C dried garbanzo beans
3 T olive oil
1 large onion — finely diced
1 small carrot — finely diced
1 stalk celery — finely diced
9 C broth
1/4 C fresh lemon juice
To serve:
2/3 C sour cream
3 T chopped fresh dill

Supposedly serves 9, what an odd number to see in the servings…
1. Place the garbanzo beans in a bowl, cover with 3 inches of water and
soak for at least 8 hours or up to 10. Or for a quick cooking method,
cover beans with boiling water and set aside to cook for 1 hour, then
continue with the recipe.

(What a lot of fuss..no wonder folks don’t use dry beans….the easiest way
is to soak your beans one night (in the fridge in warm weather so they don;t
ferment), pour off the cooking water, dump into crock pot, cover with
water, can add a piece of kombu, a sea veggie, and cook on low all day.
drain, and freeze in freezer bags in use sizes (1 C, 2 C etc). To use, take
the bag out and dump into soup pot with everything else.)

2. Place oil in a 2 qt soup pot over med heat add onions and cook for 5
min, Add carrots and celery and cook another 5 mint.

(Again I wouldn’t bother, I’d swipe out the bottom of the pot with my trusty
pastry brush and a little bit of oil, add the stuff and cook gently till
softened)

3. Add the drained beans and 6 C broth. Cover, raise heat to high and
bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook covered for 1 1/2 hours.

(This is too much like work…I’d dump it into a crockpot and forget about
it for a few hours)

4. Puree

5. Combine the puree, remaining 3 C broth and lemon juice in a 1 qt pot,
Cover, bring to boil;l then reduce the heat. Simmer for 5 minutes. Place
a dollop of sour cream ( I’d use non fat plain yoghurt but one could use
fat free sour cream, I suppose) in each soup bowl, sprinkle with dill and
pour hot soup into the bowls.

To freeze: Allow the pureed beans to cool to room temp. Refrigerate until
thoroughly chilled then freeze up to 6 months. To serve, defrost and finish
as in Step 5.

of course, I’d put garlic into this soup or serve it with Garlic Bread by
the Empress of Garlic and a salad.
