Fresh Tomato and Garlic Soup

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tomatoes:

   • Begin by processing the tomatoes in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.

2. Cook the Aromatics:

   • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add finely chopped onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pot.
   • Sauté the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn soft and translucent.

3. Add the Flour:

   • Sprinkle the flour into the pot and stir until it’s well combined with the onion mixture.

4. Incorporate Tomato Mixture:

   • Remove the pot from heat and gradually pour in the processed tomatoes.
   • Add vegetable or chicken stock, tomato paste, and sugar to the pot.
   • Return the pot to the stove and simmer the soup, uncovered, for about 15 minutes or until it slightly thickens.

5. Add Fresh Herbs:

   • Stir in chopped fresh oregano, thyme leaves, and parsley. Let the flavors meld for a couple of minutes.

6. Prepare Parmesan Toast:

   • While the soup is simmering, make the Parmesan toast by combining softened butter and grated Parmesan cheese.
   • Spread this mixture generously over slices of bread.

7. Grill the Toast:

   • Place the bread slices under a preheated grill until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread turn golden brown.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Ladle the hot Fresh Tomato and Garlic Soup into bowls.
   • Serve each bowl with a piece of crispy Parmesan toast on the side.
   • Garnish with additional fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
