Not so long ago and completely unexpectedly, I discovered first courses with the addition of fresh tomatoes, just before serving. A somewhat unusual approach for us. Tomato soup, unlike regular soup, becomes tastier and pleasing to the eye. It turned out that the addition of fresh tomatoes to ready-made soups is not uncommon in world cuisines.

I always believed that tomato soup should be prepared with the addition of tomato paste or ripe tomato puree, and ideally, tomato is the basis of the soup. In the summer we often prepare cool tomato soup, based on the common Spanish version. And with the addition of tomato paste it is convenient to cook red, since with fresh tomato puree I don’t really like the result, as one friend said - there is no drive.

But even in the hot season, few people will refuse a bowl of hot soup for breakfast. Frankly, I don’t really like soup for breakfast, but... chicken soup with vermicelli - I'll definitely eat it. Quite often at home for breakfast we prepare pasta with various simple sauces. Such morning dishes fill you up until lunch and are prepared very quickly. The simplest option is . Tomato sauce made from fresh tomatoes with the addition of tomato pieces without heat treatment.

For breakfast, it is ideal to prepare a thick soup of tomatoes and small soup noodles. A special paste for soup, which is produced by all manufacturers, is small and cooks very quickly. The types of soup paste usually sold are vermicelli, appelli, filini, etc. They differ in shape and size, but the essence remains the same. This is fresh dried dough made from high-quality durum wheat flour.

Tomato soup with the addition of vegetables and small soup noodles can be prepared from any ripe tomatoes. Size doesn't matter. But, if the tomatoes are large, you should peel them and remove the seeds.

When planning to prepare the first dish of tomatoes, you need to prepare ripe, but not overripe and soft tomatoes. If the tomatoes are overripe, they will make a good homemade one, but you shouldn’t add them to the soup. As a base for soup, you need to boil vegetable broth, and season it with fried onions and tomatoes. Boil small vermicelli to make the tomato soup thick. And, at the very end, add fresh tomatoes and a lot of herbs.

Tomato soup. Step by step recipe

Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Small soup vermicelli 100 g
  • Small red or cherry tomatoes 200 g
  • Large ripe tomato 1 PC
  • Parsley 5-6 sprigs
  • Onion 1 piece
  • Garlic 1-2 cloves
  • Carrot 1 piece
  • Olive oil 1 tbsp. l.
  • Salt, black pepper, dry hot pepper, coriander, allspice, dry mixture of Mediterranean herbs spices
  1. To boil vermicelli and prepare tomato soup, you need to prepare vegetable broth. Boil it enough standard set soup vegetables and roots for up to half an hour. IN simple version Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a saucepan, throw in peeled and halved carrots, 1-2 peeled cloves of garlic, and a whole peeled onion. If desired, you can add parsnip, parsley and celery root.

  2. Vegetable broth must be boiled with spices. To prevent spices from floating in the broth, before adding them to the broth, it is better to put them in a sachet bag or in a rare nylon fabric, tying it with a knot. Then the spices will flavor the broth, they can be removed at the right time and thrown away. I advise you to use 1-2 dry hot peppers - they will not greatly increase the spiciness of the tomato soup. Add a quarter teaspoon each of coriander peas and black (multi-colored) pepper. And also a few peas of allspice and 0.5 tsp. dry aromatic herbs characteristic of Mediterranean cuisine - oregano, savory, basil, etc.

  3. Cook the vegetables with spices for up to half an hour, then discard the bag of spices and the onion, and leave the boiled carrots and garlic for serving the dish.

  4. While the broth is cooking, heat it in a saucepan olive oil. Peel a medium-sized onion and finely chop with a knife. Stirring constantly, fry the onion until golden brown. Meanwhile, peel a large ripe tomato from the skin and seeds, and finely chop the pulp with a knife.

  5. Add the tomato to the fried onion, add a pinch of salt. If desired, especially if the tomato is not the most ripe, you can add a pinch of sugar. Fry the onion and tomato for 3-4 minutes, then add a quarter cup of broth, which is prepared separately. Simmer the onion and tomato, covered, over low heat for more than 10 minutes. It is necessary that the dressing for the tomato soup is thick enough and the onions are completely soft.

  6. When the broth is cooked and the tomato dressing is ready, mix them in a saucepan and add the fine paste. You should not use paste of unknown origin. Most likely, cheap noodles from an unknown manufacturer are made from soft flour. This paste will boil and swell very quickly.

    Small soup vermicelli

  7. For the first course you need high-quality pasta made from durum wheat flour. Small vermicelli in the form of short strings - filini, small rings anelli, stars stelline and others are well suited.

    Add vermicelli to soup

  8. Small pasta in soup cooks very quickly - usually 3-4 minutes. Stirring, cook the vermicelli in the soup until tender. The pasta boiling time is always indicated on the package, and the manufacturer guarantees al dente readiness during this time. There is no need to overcook the vermicelli. In addition, the soup should not be heated, but consumed immediately while it is hot. As it cools, the paste will swell and the soup will remain practically without liquid - just pasta boiled in broth.
