Words & Brush Recipe Corner: ALL-SEASON SUN-DRIED TOMATO SOUP

ALL-SEASON SUN-DRIED TOMATO SOUP

Lisa -Starr

lisa-starr.com/shop

I've always been a believer in soup for all seasons and, when it's a soup suitable for serving both hot and cold, it offers double the versatility.

My signature Sun-Dried Tomato Soup - a best-seller in my Meatland days - takes the timeless title.

Simply delicious served hot, I believe it's even better served chilled, aptly garnished with a swirl of cream and a zesty lemon gremolata.

ALL SEASON SUN-DRIED TOMATO SOUP

2 tablespoons (30 ml) oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 teaspoon (5 ml) crushed garlic

1/4 cup (60 ml) sun-dried tomatoes, chopped*

4 tablespoons (60 ml) tomato paste

Large (800 grams) can crushed tomatoes

1/2 teaspoon each (3 ml) dried basil and oregano

3 cups pareve {vegetarian} chicken stock

1 sprig fresh rosemary

2 sprigs parsley

1 cup (250 ml) fresh cream/non-dairy creamer

Sugar to taste

Salt and pepper to taste

1: Heat oil and fry the onion, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 3 minutes.

2: Add the tomato paste and canned tomatoes and fry a further 2 minutes.

3: Add the dried herbs and stock and allow to simmer for 25 minutes.

4: Remove from heat, add the rosemary and parsley and blend till smooth.

5: Return to heat, stir through cream, add sugar to taste (you will need quite a bit as the tomatoes are tart) and seasoning.
6: Serve hot or chilled garnished with grated lemon zest and chopped parsley.

* Can use dried tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes in oil.

ENJOY!

Hello June Open Thread 2024

Summer is around the corner for many, but it's already started here in the South. Temps are soaring into the upper 80s making it feel like 100. Pool is open.

As usual there is something even in the summer that
catches a writer's or artist's eye

Go to that little place by the seaside to grab a sweet treat

Or the diner that serves handspun milkshakes with hotdogs or hamburgersas you deck it up how you want
it with a side of fries or slaw

There's nothing else like them, just like the

good ole' days!

Check out new places to take solitude

Watermelon is ripe and ready to eat

Listen to great music or read a catch up on summer reading

Rerun movies with a flare of laughter as

Summer days put us into a daze

As summer cookouts or a seaside or go to the square for a summer meal to relax and

hear open mic music, new songs to first reads of a story to see how others respond. Do it if you dare!

Most of all, have a fun safe summer!
