Tomato soup with olive & caper pistou

Tomato soup with olive & caper pistou is a delightful and hearty dish that's perfect for any season. With simple ingredients and a burst of flavors, this comforting soup is easy to prepare and sure to impress. Here's a detailed guide to cooking this flavorful recipe.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 potatoes
400g
1 onion
160g
1 tsp ground cumin
3g
1 can canned tomatoes
400g
2 cups vegetable broth
460g
1 cup water
250g
1/3 cup olives
72g
2 tbsp capers
30g
2 garlic cloves
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes, chopping the onion, pitting and chopping the olives, and mincing the garlic cloves. Rinse the capers to remove excess salt.
2. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot, heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until it becomes translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
4. Add Spices & Potatoes: Stir in the ground cumin and cook for another minute until fragrant. Then, add the diced potatoes and mix well to coat them with the spices and oil.
5. Add Tomatoes & Broth: Pour in the can of tomatoes along with their juice, the vegetable broth, and 1 cup of water. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
6. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
7. Blend the Soup (Optional): For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend the soup in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, allow the soup to cool slightly and blend in batches using a countertop blender. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can skip this step.
8. Prepare the Pistou: While the soup is simmering or blending, prepare the olive and caper pistou. In a small bowl, combine the chopped olives, rinsed capers, and minced garlic. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
9. Serve: Ladle the tomato soup into bowls. Top each serving with a spoonful of the olive and caper pistou. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil if desired.
10. Enjoy: Serve the soup hot, perhaps with a slice of crusty bread on the side. Enjoy the rich, hearty flavors!

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, blend the soup using an immersion blender or a regular blender once it's cooked.

- Adjust the seasoning to taste by adding more cumin, salt, or pepper as needed.

- Serve the soup with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top for extra richness.

- Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley to add a bit of freshness and color.

- Pair this soup with a slice of crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.

This Tomato soup with olive & caper pistou is a comforting and delightful blend of rich, tangy, and savory flavors. The combination of tomatoes, olives, and capers creates a unique and satisfying taste that is perfect for any meal. Enjoy this delicious soup as a hearty appetizer or a light main dish!
