Fresh Tomato Soup with Crispy Cheese Toast - Food Wishes

When you grow up eating a certain thing a certain way, it can be challenging to enjoy that certain thing in a new, and significantly different way, which used to be the case for me when it came to any non-creamy tomato soup. Until I discovered this one, and all that changed.

I made this soup yesterday! I forgot the anchovy (literally: I stared at the appropriate shelf in the grocery store, blinked, told myself I had plenty of tuna at home, and walked away) , but added a bit of Worcestershire and basil (the herb garden runneth over), and it turned out beautifully! The whole recipe was inhaled by my family in 20 minutes; it would have been 10, but it was too hot! My husband even brought home a small tin of anchovies today and asked for another batch!

perfect timing, My early harvest and late harvest tomatoes both got ripe at the same time because our growing season was screwed up so I've got a large pile of fresh tomatoes to deal with all at once.

[@FireflyActual]

I'd also recommend preparing an Italian-style tomato passata. If preserved correctly it can last for months. It's a lot of work, but oh-so-worth-it - IMHO there's no better way of preserving that incredible richness of perfectly ripe tomatoes for the winter season. It works great for both soups and sauces.

Dear Chef John. I just want to say thank you.

You make everything look so fun and easy! A great big thank you from Livingstone Zambia 🇿🇲

[@etherdog]

Chef John, I think your best point about this soup is also the most subtle: use a mix of varieties of tomato. The flavour and nuance are sublime and I could not agree more on using the anchovy. One might also employ a spent parmigiano reggiano rind as well. This will be lunch tomorrow along with an ennead of cheese toast with slivers of garlic.

[@catbat06]

What you boil the rind?? I have never heard of this!

[@etherdog]

@@catbat06 You merely simmer the rind in the tomato soup. It won't totally dissolve but will give a good umami flavor, like a sachet of herbs.

[@stefanmarchione6757]

YES!!! Some mashed garlic smeared on the toast and I'd add a bay leaf or two to the tomato reduction. It will strain out with the skin & seeds. And a good Parmigiano Peggiano or wonderful Asiago would be amazing! Enjoy!

From growing a ton of tomatoes in my garden and being left with a ridiculous number of skins and seeds, I've found that by taking those and drying them out in the oven, you can grind them up into a great tomato powder that can be added back into the soup as a spice. I think it helps give it the full tomato taste to the soup without sacrificing the texture.

Wound up eating the entire pot of soup because it was so good.❤❤❤ A hint for more tomato flavor - leave the flower on the larger tomatoes and the stem & vine on the cherry tomatoes. All these give your cooked tomatoes more flavor. I didn't even bother coring the larger tomatoes. The cores, flowers, and stems/vines all came out when pressing the soup through the sieve.

But better is a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce, since it has anchovies already in it, and it also has some salt and vinegar for the tang & umami that is accomplished with an actual anchovy.
