| abstract | - Tomato Soup, Three Ways Makes 4 servings Time: 30 minutes Make this with fresh tomatoes in late summer. The rest of the year, use good canned tomatoes. 2 T extra-virgin olive oil or butter 1 large onion, sliced 1 carrot, peeled & diced Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste 3 C cored, peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes (canned are fine; include their juice) 1 t fresh thyme leaves or � t dried thyme or 1 T minced fresh basil leaves 2 to 3 C chicken, beef, or vegetable stock, preferably warmed Minced fresh parsley or basil leaves for garnish 1. Place the oil or butter in a large, deep saucepan or casserole and turn the heat to medium. A minute later, add the onion and carrot. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. 2. Add the tomatoes and the herb and cook until the tomatoes break up, about 10 minutes. Add 2 cups of stock. (You may prepare the soup in advance up to this point. Cover, refrigerate for up to 2 days, and reheat before proceeding.) Adjust seasoning; if the mixture is too thick, add a little stock or water. Garnish and serve. Pureed Tomato Soup Increase the tomatoes to 4 cups and reduce the stock to 1 cup. When the soup is done, puree it carefully in a blender or pass it through a food mill. Reheat, garnish and serve, preferably with croutons. Cream of Tomato Soup In the above variation, substitute 1 cup cream or half-and-half for the stock, added just before pureeing.
