This is one of my son's favourite soups to have in the Fall. Yesterday's batch was made from fresh tomatoes and red peppers from my garden so tasted extra good. I found this recipe in the August 2007 issue of "Harrowsmith" Magazine. Read more I use fresh herbs instead of the dried and if you want it vegetarian worthy then just switch up the Chicken Stock for Vegetable Stock. Enjoy! See less
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil shopping list
- 5 shallots, finely chopped shopping list
- 3 red bell peppers, finely chopped shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 1-1 1/2 lbs. fresh tomatoes, chopped shopping list
- 1 tsp. paprika shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. dried tarragon shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. salt shopping list
- 1 bay leaf shopping list
- 3 cups chicken stock shopping list
- 2 tsp. brown sugar shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Place a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat the vegetable oil and add the shallots. Cook the shallots until soft and translucent. Reduce the heat to medium and add the peppers and continue to cook until soft, approximately 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the tomatoes, paprika, thyme, tarragon, pepper, salt, bay leaf and stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and add the brown sugar if the soup is a little acidic. Discard the bay leaf. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
- I don't like chunky vegetables in my soup so I take a stick blender to it and puree. :)

This is definitely a great tomato soup! I love the flavor that the red peppers added. My garden is in sad shape right now so no fresh herbs, which is what I would have used if I could of, instead of the dried. Loved it Janet :) More in the IMI --...more
