Golden Tomato Soup

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 lbs yellow tomatoes, cored and quartered
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • Salt
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 tsp coarsely ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Place a fine strainer over abowl and seed the tomatoes into the strainer. Scrape the seeds against the strainer, extracting as much liquid as possible; discard the seeds. Chop the remaining tomato flesh; add half of the chopped tomato to the tomato liquid.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 min. Add the remaining chopped tomato and the brown sugar; cook, stirring, until the tomatoes break down, 10 min. Add the chicken broth and 2 cups water. Whisk in the breadcrumbs and simmer for 5 min; season with salt.

Using a food processor, and working in batches, puree the soup. For cold soup, refrigerate until chilled.

In a bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold in the pepper. Dollop on top of the soup.
