Soup ideas for cold, rainy weather (non-vegetarian)

never seen it at a farmers’ market round here, including at the friday “new eastern” market, my regular.

I roasted a very large quantity of garden tomatoes yesterday with some garlic, and then removed the peels and reserved the pulp. I want to make tomato soup with the tomatoes.

This is what I’m thinking of doing next - could use some feedback. A lot of the recipes I see that are adjacent to my method advise the addition of some tomato paste, but I struggle to imagine needing more tomato flavor. I guess we’ll see.

  1. Sautee some shallots.
  2. Add the reserved tomato pulp.
  3. Add some volume of water - the tomato pulp is very concentrated.
  4. Cook and blend, and then… add some dairy? (I have whole milk, yogurt, sour cream, half+half, AND heavy cream in the house… at least.)

Other things I have around: homegrown thyme, three leeks from my CSA, lots of spices, a red pepper.

How would you proceed?

our uber most bestest soup for the chill…

buy a rotisserie chicken (Costco, et al)
make a meal of it.
chill. then strip the remaining meat.

simmer the carcass for 4-6 hours. reserve ‘everything’
remove bones.
add celery/carrots/leeks or onion
add wide egg noodles.
add chicken meat, previously stripped . . .

the ultimate chicken noodle soup.

Ok, what I did:

sauteed some shallots
added in the peeled roasted tomatoes and their juices from yesterday
some water
salt
fresh thyme

brought it to a boil. blended with immersion blender, then scooped some into a separate saucepan and added half+half. heated through, more S+P and some white pepper.

Good, but I think I will pass the rest through a fine sieve.

Blasphemy! :grinning_cat_with_smiling_eyes:

wow i really bungled that spelling.

Not really. If it’s understood, it’s language (I’m from that school of thought).

This is one I’ve had many times.
I usually use stew meat instead of ground round.
The roux is what distinguishes it from regular beef vegetable soup.

that looks amazing!
love the idea of fresh cilantro on top.

I will not be modest and lie, it really was. I kicked myself for not making enough for extended leftovers. But I still have both bone broth and rotisserie chicken, so…
