Tomato soup cook-along

[Anonymous No.9781216]

Hi /ck/, I'm currently making my tomato soup recipe for a comfy night in. Here’s how I start:
Throw a bunch of peppered tomatoes and garlic cloves in the oven for a little less than an hour, covered in olive oil. This gives the soup a nice roasted flavor

[Anonymous No.9781231]

Next, cut up a couple onions and caramelize them in a pot. The tomatoes have to keep roasting for another 15 minutes

Can you do tomato-basil instead?

[Anonymous No.9781252]

>>9781242
It has basil in it, I’ll add it once the tomatoes are done

[Anonymous No.9781258]

What's up with that pan the tomatoes are on?

I like to add carrots for sweetness.

Taking note since I'm growing everything you mentioned so far. This better be good

[Anonymous No.9781312]

I’ll have to try that sometime. I love carrots

The tomatoes and garlic have been sufficiently cooked. Now it’s time to destroy them

You think roasted fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes would be better this time of year?

I have been meaning to buy a food mill to strain seeds.

[Anonymous No.9781354]

Add onions and and a handful of basil, then blend again at a lower setting.

>>9781339
I live in the south where farmers are always growing new stuff, so I always use fresh. The farmer’s market comes in every Saturday and it’s still 80°F here. I’m sure it’s worth a shot if they aren’t available to you, though.

[Anonymous No.9781365]

>>9781354
Yeah they had tomatoes at the market this weekend. I'm in D.C., I assume they were grown in a greenhouse given the time of year.

I just wonder for those outside of the near-tropics whether roasting canned tomatoes or fresh is better from oct-june when they are mostly out of season here. I can get "heirloom" tomatoes from Safeway but I have no idea if they would be good for this purpose. I also need to buy a blender! Anyone have luck with a cheap blender?

[Anonymous No.9781384]

Add about a half a box of vegetable stock and a pinch of oregano. This is where you can get kind of creative with spices; I like to add red pepper, but it’s not necessary.

After simmering for 10-20 minutes, wa la! You’re done.
Plate and garnish with whatever you want. Grilled cheeses optional.

Guys, calm down.
Let's just agree that you're both cancer and be done with it.

[Anonymous No.9781685]

Couple things I would have done differently.

-You had a perfectly good fond going when you cooked the onions which could have been deglazed with the puree tomato which would have added an additional depth of flavor. Little disappointed you didn't use it to your benefit.

-Pureeing fresh basil is a pretty taboo move. Dried seasoning, who cares. Fresh herbs like basil should be torn by hand and added to the final cooking process, or placed as a garnish.

Still, it's soup / 10. Would enjoy.

did you broil or just bake? i make a salsa similar to this and i burn the shit out of the tomatoes/tomatillos for smokiness.

I just baked them. I’ve never tried burning them on purpose.

It looks like a Silpat placed on a sheetpan that is too small to contain the Silpat.

[Anonymous No.9782247]

>>9781365
So far, so good.
Interesting note: the blade assembly will screw into certain styles of small glass jars.
This means you have a very serious spice grinder. Like, tears the hell out of some garam masala type whole spices.
I have a Blendtech sitting in my cart that I just can't pull the trigger on.

In western WA state, I use canned San Marzano tomatoes winter through spring. From what I've tasted, greenhouse/hothouse don't compare in sweetness or tomato-i-ness to in-season tomatoes -including greenhouse heirloom varietals.

[Anonymous No.9782267]

>>9782247
Most blenders will do this. Mason jars (regular, NOT wide-mouth) are what you want to use.

I should point out that price PLUS pic related was what sold me on this unit.
I read a lot of negative reviews on other units' plastic-made drives breaking.

I probably only use the thing once a month, but the first year I owned it it got some more serious usage. Milkshakes, smoothies, garam masala, soups, sauces, et al..

So, do you introduce yourself by naming the number of years you've been on 4chan? Maybe it will help you get some of that loli-jap pussy? Maybe you'll have a better chance of staying out of hell? Maybe it will make your dick bigger? Maybe make the gay "go away?" Maybe become an all powerful janitor and sweep away comments/threads that make you scream at your mother with projected anger? Maybe you'll VIP access to the tendies? What could be your angle? I guess /ck will never know.
