Tomato and Basil Soup
It’s Moulis Legume time! We even sing a song that Num has made up with Moulis Legume as the chorus. Soups and apple sauce time of year. After a month or so, of very regular use, the Moulis goes back to the basement for another 11 months.
A quick Tomato Basil soup.
I have to say here that I did not measure anything!
2 - 3 lb tomatoes - I used a mix of tomatoes from the garden, local San Marzano - rough chopped
3 medium sized onions, roughly chopped
3/4 garlic cloves, sliced
3 nice top sprigs of Basil
Olive oil
Saute onions and garlic together until clear, add tomatoes, chopped basil and salt and pepper. I also add a pinch of cayenne, I like the heat and it enhances the flavor. Simmer together for 30 - 40 minutes. Let cool.
Pass the mix through the Moulis Legume.
Put back in pot, add 2 - 3 cups of chicken stock, tablespoon of organic sugar. In one batch I added a tablespoon of tomato puree. Simmer together for another 20 minutes.
You could add some cream, I prefer not too.
Serve with Parmesan cheese.
I like this soup Hot and Cold.
