Curried Tomato Soup

Taking advantage of summer's slow-roasted tomatoesA special welcome to new e-mail subscribers, many fellow fans of vegetarian cookbook author Nava Atlas, who is generously providing an autographed copy to a lucky participant in this month's Soup's On! Welcome!

Feel free to look around and especially, explore the Recipe Box. There are nearly two years of vegetable recipes, many simple side dishes, vegetable salads, soups, a few vegetarian suppers. Be sure to poke around in Kitchen Parade, too, my published food column. It's not vegetarian but all the vegetarian and vegan recipes are easy to find in its Recipe Box. Now on to today's recipe.


Cold day. Hot Soup. Perfection.

The inspiration for this curry-spiked soup is from Field to Feast, a fascinating blog from Zimbabwe.

The base is slow-roasted tomatoes with carrots, sweet potatoes and green peas added. It didn't make the photo but I loved this with a dollop of Greek yogurt stirred in.

CURRIED TOMATO SOUP

See Field to Feast's inspiration
Hands-on time: 20 minutes
Time to table: 60 minutes
Makes 9 cups

Splash water
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder (Field to Feast uses 1 tablespoon mild, 1 tablespoon hot; 1 tablespoon Madras was plenty for me ...)
2 cups slow-roasted tomatoes, chopped (or 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes)
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups chicken broth or water
Salt & pepper to taste

1 cup frozen peas
Greek yogurt or sour cream

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the onion in the water til beginning to soften. Stir in the curry and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, broth and bring to a boil. Let simmer til vegetables cook. Season to taste. Stir in frozen peas and let warm through. Serve in bowls topped with dollops of Greek yogurt or sour cream.

    Carolyn ~ And there in the southern hemisphere where it's summer, you could actually roast some tomatoes about right now, yes? Thanks so much for the inspiration.

  7. That looks so tempting.
    Did you preserve your slow-roasted tomatoes?

  10. I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of this. I used 1 sweet potato and some butternut squash. Mine was very thick - I think this might be better as a side dish than a soup. However, my mom and cousin love it, so I still count it a success.
