Super Creamy Tomato Soup -- With no Cream
small pan size (makes about 2 bowls)
2 large tomatoes (from the vine is what I got)
Onions -- about 2 inches of onions cut off from the end (minus those layers you have to pull off)
1 clove garlic
olive oil
dried basil
dried dill (put 3 times as much basil as dill)
a bit of ground pepper
swiss or mozzarella cheese (optional)
Tomato paste (probably 6 tablespoons.)
1 chicken bouillon cube
blender or Magic Bullet
In olive oil simmer garlic and onions (cut it up sloppy, you'll be blending it in a blender later anyway!)
Cut up tomatoes in big chunks -- you can be sloppy with this as well.
Once browned, add the tomatoes to the onions and garlic. Let it all turn a lighter shade of pink and cook down. Now spoon out the chunks into a magic bullet container, and pulse it until the onions are smooth. Probably twice. Leave it in the blender for now.
In the same pan (which is now of course empty -- your soup is still in the blender), throw in the buillon, tomato paste and probably 3 inches of water in the bottom. Start cooking this. Throw in a bunch of basil w/ it (coat whole top layer) and the dill.
Now return to your blender. By the way, if you sample this blended stuff, it tastes creamy, despite being no cream in here! Like magic.
Now pour your blended tomato mixture into the pan, along with the tomato paste mixture. Add any fresh basil. Add the (optional) cheese to the bowls if it's grated.
It's seriously amazing!!
