Fresh Tomato Orange Soup

To achieve the smoothest tomato soup, I pour it through a strainer once it has been pureed and then finish off the recipe.

Courses: Soup
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

4 lbs 1816g / 64ozRipe plum tomatoes
2 tablespoons 30mlOlive oil
1 tablespoon 15mlOnion - chopped (large)
3 tablespoons 45mlMinced garlic
2 tablespoons 30mlTomato paste
1 teaspoon 5mlSugar
1/2 cup 118mlOrange juice
4 cups 948mlVegetable or chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon 0.6mlGround cloves
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
2 tablespoons 30mlChopped flat-leaf parsley
  Zest of 1 orange

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Line 2 baking pans with foil and oil lightly. Cut the tomatoes in 3 thick slices crosswise and arrange on the pans. Bake for 2 hours.

Place the oil in large pot over low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon garlic in the last 3 minutes. Add the baked tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, orange juice, broth, cloves, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, until soup has thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool, then puree in a food processor. Strain, then chill. Combine the remaining garlic, the parsley and orange zest; sprinkle atop the soup and serve.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
