Creamy Tomato Soup


1-2 Diced Onions
3 Chopped Garlic Cloves
1/3 cup Sherry
4-6 cups Diced Tomatoes
1/2 cup raw cashews (preferably presoaked for a few hours, but I usually forget)
3 Tbl flour
1-2 cups water
1 -2 tsp Balsamic Vinegar (optional)
1 tsp Smoked Salt
Fresh Basil

Heat the oil. Add the onions and cook 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another couple minutes. Add the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Add the sherry, stirring quickly, and then add the tomatoes and cashews. Add a bit of water and boil 15-20 minutes. Add the salt, and puree with an immersion blender until the cashews are all creamy. Add vinegar, pepper, more salt, more oil, or nutritional yeast to taste. Add the basil and puree for another 30 seconds.

Potato-Leek Soup


3 Leeks
6 medium organic Potatoes
3 Tbl Olive Oil
1 tsp salt
freshly ground pepper
water

Cut the leeks in half (discard the very top dark green portion, but use the lighter green parts) and soak them in cold water for 10 minutes to get out the dirt. Swish them a few times. Rinse and chop the potatoes (DO NOT peel them). Chop the leeks. Heat up the oil in a big soup pot. When hot, add the leeks and potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 10-20 minutes, until starting to brown and stick (add 1 Tbl more oil if necessary). When potatoes are sticking a lot, add water to barely cover & scrape off browned bits. Cook, partly covered, for another 10-20 minutes, until potatoes are falling apart. Mash them up a little with a spoon, so that the soup becomes a bit creamy. Taste for salt.

Minestrone Soup, with Salad and Olive Bread

20090827-20090827-food-4
Tonight was Amy’s night to cook, and she made her fabulous throw-everything-in-a-pot minestrone, made with a kettle full of boiling water, a can of tomato sauce, lima beans and chickpeas (cooked in our new pressure cooker), and lots of fresh vegetables. She says the secret to good minestrone is to cook pasta separately on the side and add it to your bowl of soup. That way, it does not get soggy.
