Village Soup
Chunky Tomato Basil Soup Recipe?
I’m trying to find a chunky tomato basil soup recipe much like a soup that I enjoyed at a restaurant called the Village Bistro in Little Silver, NJ, that closed a few years ago. It definitely had cream in it, and had long chunks of tomatoes and onions as well. Was fairly sweet and very think and chunky.
Anyone have any ideas?
Sweet N Chunky Tomato Soup
Ingredients
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
3/4 teaspoon butter, divided
8 tomatoes, peeled and sliced
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
Place the red bell pepper and yellow bell pepper in a large pot with 1/4 teaspoon butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until peppers are slightly charred. Mix in tomatoes, onion, garlic, and chicken broth. Season with salt, sugar, cloves, oregano, and basil. Bring to a boil, and cook 20 minutes, until tomatoes are soft.
Mix the milk and cornstarch in a small saucepan, and stir until smooth. Place saucepan over medium heat, and stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter. Continue to cook and stir until thickened. Mix into the pot with vegetables.
Strain about 1/2 the vegetables from the soup and transfer to a blender. Blend until smooth, and return to the pot. Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let sit about 5 minutes before serving.
