We prefer the taste of organic canned tomatoes in this particular recipe, as they tend to be sweeter. If using other canned tomatoes, you might want to add a bit more sugar to balance their acidity.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

2 (28- to 32-oz) cans whole tomatoes in juice (preferably organic)
1 large onion, coarsely chopped (2 1/4 cups)
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh jalapeño chile including seeds
2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (18 fl oz)
1 tablespoon sugar, or to taste
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
  1. Step 1

    Drain 1 can tomatoes, discarding juice, then purée with remaining can tomatoes (including juice) in a blender.

    Step 2

    煮洋葱,garlic, chile, and ginger in oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy nonreactive pot over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 8 minutes. Add cumin and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in puréed tomatoes, broth, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Working in 3 or 4 batches, blend soup in blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Transfer soup as blended to a sieve set over a large bowl and force through sieve, discarding seeds.

    Step 3

    Stir in sugar and salt to taste. Reheat in cleaned saucepan if necessary.

  • I loved this. I used a Thai chili pepper because I like things spicer than most and added a few more cloves of garlic because that it what I like. My husband and I had it with a grilled cheese sandwich during a snowstorm and we were very pleased with the results and our warm tummies. Btw - we found the reviews by soccermom and tomatosoupluvr hilarious!

  • Delicious! I made the recipe exactly, then added a can of full fat coconut milk at the end. The coconut milk really took it the next level!

  • this tomato soup was as salty as when I lost in kahoot. I fed it to my child and he turned goth, he started slitting his wrists. My cat got ahold of it and clawed one of my eyes out, then died. My husband just got home from a long day of work and it was nasty so he poured it on my face and i got second dgree burns. My family has fallen apart. I now have to make money as a stripper and the strip club has better tomato soup then this. Do not make this.

  • Absolutely delicious! However, I did not use canned tomatoes because of the high concentration of xenoestrogens in the can linings. I chop all ingredients extra fine, or use processor if in hurry. Also add cream instrad of water for variety. In short, a continuous go to on cold days!

  • This meal was by far the most disgusting thing I've eaten in my entire life. As soon as I felt the extremely salty disgusting tomato soup touch my mouth I immediately wanted to regret I was born. My two children had just come home from soccer practice and they were ready for a nice warm meal. As soon as my children put the food in their mouth my youngest son who is four years old told me that he hated me and that I had failed as a mother. Then when my husband got home I heated the food up for him and when he ate the soup he spit it out and threw the bowl on the floor. he yelled at me and hit me several times and then he filed for a divorce. I suggest you do not eat this soup because it is evil. I am now alone in this world but if anyone wants to get freaky just email me *wink wink*.

  • We love this recipe and have made it several times. Delicious. I'm making a batch right now. The first puree probably helps mitigate blender disaster when it's pureed after it's hot. I follow it exactly, except I add 2 TBL butter to the olive oil, add a extra jalapeno or 2,and I don't drain the tomatoes.

  • Not a fan of this one. Followed recipe exactly as written. The most positive comment I can give is it's better than Campbell's canned tomato soup.

  • Served in small cups chilled at a party - crowd favorite. Warmed is ever better as the heat of the flavors increases. My favorite tomato soup ever. I add canned fire roasted Muir Glen diced tomatoes.

  • I used: - 1 can of tomatoes without juice - fresh tomatoes peeled, half the volume of canned tomatoes - 1 cup of chicken broth - 1 1/4 teaspoon chili This turned out to be just right.
