It is a beautiful Sunday summer's day here in Australia today, and I woke
up this morning to make a lovely tomato soup from fresh tomatoes. If anyone
can obtain good tomatoes I would highly recommend it. Organic tomatoes
would be best because they have much more flavour.
From (The Australian Women's Weekly 'Basic Cookbook') Adapted slightly to
meet Fatfree list requirements.
NOTE: (Original recipe asked for a chicken stock cube, which I omitted and
didn't miss. You may want to add salt to compensate.)
1. Using a shape knife, carefully remove cores from tomatoes (dig from the
top, you don;t need to remove the entire middle), cut small crosses at
opposite ends. Place tomatoes in medium saucepan with enough boiling water
to cover them. Boil for about 30 seconds; strain immediately, place into
bowl of iced water. Peel away skin. (I thought this sounded hard, but it is
really quite straightforward.
2. Chop tomatoes roughly
3. In a medium saucepan, saute onions and garlic in water for about three
minutes. Add tomatoes then remaining ingredients. Bring to boil, reduce
heat, cover. Simmer 30 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Blend or process mixture.
This is a lovely fresh and light soup. I invited some friends who live
around the corner to bring over some fresh bread and we all had a great
lunch together. The whole process took about an hour. The recipe book says
it keeps for two days in the fridge and can be frozen for up to two months.
