tomato soup
with meatballs
Clean up and chop the soup vegetables. First
sauté the onion in a little butter. Add crushed
garlic and then the celery and carrots. Leave to
stew a little longer under a lid. In the meantime,
make a bouquet garni with thyme, rosemary,
bay leaf and parsley stems.
Cut the tomatoes into large pieces and add
them to the stewed soup vegetables. Make up
the volume with water and add the soup meat
and the bouquet garni. Stir a couple more
tablespoons of tomato concentrate into the
soup and season with pepper, salt and a pinch
of cayenne pepper.
Let the soup simmer for an hour. Then remove
the meat and the bouquet garni from the soup
and put the immersion blender in it. Pour
through a sieve and press the liquid out of the
pulp as much as possible.
Make meatballs the size of marbles and cook
them in vegetable stock until done. They are
done when they float. Spoon them out of the
stock, let them evaporate for a while and then
fry them in some hot butter. Add them to the
soup.
Now you can choose whether or not to add
cream. You can also serve the cream
separately at the table. Finish off in the plate
with tufts of parsley.
