Recipe Introduction


Chilled Tomato Soup with Scallions & Sour Cream
Serves 4
Make this summertime soup when vine-ripened tomatoes are at their peak.
Cooking the tomatoes in oil increases the availability of the lycopene they contain. The measurements given for herbs are for dried; if using fresh herbs instead, use 1/4 cup fresh basil and 1 1/2 teaspoon each fresh thyme and marjoram.

List of Ingredients




* 1 TB olive oil
* 8 scallions, chopped
* 1 medium zucchini, sliced
* 1 stalk celery, sliced
* 1 carrot, sliced
* 1 bay leaf
* 1 tsp thyme
* 1 tsp marjoram or oregano
* 1 tsp basil
* 8 sprigs of parsley
* 1 tsp salt

Recipe



Prep Time: 50 minutes

* In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Set aside 2 TB of scallions for garnish. Add remaining scallions, the zucchini, celery, carrot, bay leaf, thyme, marjoram, basil, parsley, salt, and 1/2 cup of water to saucepan. Cover and simmer five minutes.
* Add tomatoes and cook 10 minutes. Add water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly.
* Discard bay leaf and puree the soup in a food processor or blender (in batches if necessary), then strain through fine-meshed sieve.
* Taste soup and if it is not particularly tomato-y, add up to 3 TB tomato paste. Chill well. Just before serving, add lemon juice and black pepper to taste. Serve with a dollop of sour cream sprinkled with reserved chopped scallions.
