The cooking time depends on the quantity and variety of tomatoes used. I ended up with about 16 jars of soup, each with a capacity of 315 ml. You\u2019ll get approximately 1 liter of soup from 1 kg of tomatoes.
If your tomato soup is too thin, simply cook it for longer without a lid to allow the excess water to evaporate. Once you\u2019ve blended the soup, continue cooking it over very low heat, but be careful, as thick soup tends to splatter. The more water you evaporate, the more intense the flavor will become. There\u2019s no need to add any unnecessary thickeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This recipe works both as a tomato soup and as tomato pur\u00e9e. Tomato pur\u00e9e is perfect for preserving in jars. You can preserve it using an appropriate canning method. I store my tomato soup in jam jars (about 315 ml each), which make a perfect single serving that you can heat up whenever you need a quick meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creamy tomato soup is incredibly easy to make, perhaps even easier than traditional Polish tomato soup. You don\u2019t need any stock. All you need are tomatoes, onion, garlic, and a blender and\/or a fine-mesh sieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tomato soup is very healthy. In addition to providing vitamins and potassium, tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a compound that is not easily destroyed by heat. In fact, cooking tomatoes makes lycopene easier for our bodies to absorb. Lycopene has many health benefits, so it\u2019s worth including plenty of red fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, in your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For soups and tomato pur\u00e9e, choose tomatoes with a low water content and a high proportion of solids. In other words, the meatier the tomatoes, the better they are for preserving. Elongated, egg-shaped varieties are particularly recommended. Look for them at local farms and from small-scale growers, who often advertise online, sell their produce at farmers\u2019 markets, or supply local shops. Buying tomatoes for preserving at supermarkets is often not cost-effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
