Recipe by Mark Bittman
To ramp up heartiness but not fat or calories, purée half the batch in a blender, then stir it back into the pot.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large or 2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 sprig fresh thyme, or 1/2 tsp dried
- 2 pounds tomatoes, cored and chopped, or 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, including the juice
- 2-3 cups water or tomato juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar, optional
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Strip the thyme leaves from the stem and add them to the pot along with the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down (10-15 minutes). Add 2 cups of the water or juice and bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles gently. Let cook until the flavors meld (5 more minutes).
- Taste and adjust the seasoning; if the soup tastes flat (but salty enough), stir in the sugar. If it's too thick, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time. If it's too thin, cook until it thickens and reduces slightly (this will also intensify the flavors). Garnish with basil, if using, and serve.
- Change It Up!
- Hearty Tomato Soup: Add 1/2 cup white rice, bulgur, or couscous with the water in Step 2, along with 1 more cup liquid. Cook until the grain is tender (5-15 minutes) and be prepared to add a little more water if the soup gets too thick.
- Spiced Tomato Soup: Instead of the fresh thyme and basil, add 1 TBSP curry or chili powder or 1 tsp smoked paprika (pimentón) along with the tomato paste in Step 1.
