Golden Tomato Soup Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 8 medium tomatoes
• 4 teaspoons low calorie margarine 250 g chopped onion
• 2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
• 75 g carrots, chopped
• 40 g of chopped celery
• 1.5 1 chicken broth
• 50g uncooked rice
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 5 drops of hot chili sauce Sprigs of fresh thyme for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To peel the tomatoes easily, cut the surface at the flower end of each one into "x" and place them, one by one, for ten seconds, in a pot of simmering water. (Add an additional 30 seconds if the tomato is not fully ripe.) Remove with a slotted spoon; Immediately immerse them in a bowl of cold water for a further 10 seconds. (Do not put more than one tomato at a time in the hot water, otherwise the water temperature will drop rapidly, causing the tomatoes to cook before you can peel them.)
2. Peel the tomatoes with a paring knife. To remove the seeds from the tomatoes, cut each of them horizontally in half. Hold each half, cut side down, on top of a bowl, and squeeze to release the seeds. Chop the tomatoes. Reserve all this prepared for a moment.

3. Put over medium heat to melt the margarine in a large iron or clay pot. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes until onion is tender. Add the carrots and celery; cook and stir for 7 to 9 minutes until soft.
4. Add the tomatoes, broth, rice, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, black pepper, and hot chili sauce. Heat until boiling. Lower the flame to a simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Take out of the fire. Let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to cool down. Pass the soup in small quantities in a food processor or blender until it is smooth.
6. Reheat the soup in the iron or clay pot. Put it over medium heat until it reaches its boiling point. Lower the flame to a simmer. Let it heat up completely, 3 to 5 minutes, over low heat. Garnish, if you like.
