- With an abundance of super-ripe, garden fresh tomatoes, here's one way to make use of them all. This is a basic tomato soup, one that can for the base for your culinary customizations, or simply enjoy the soup as it is, fresh, bright and summer-y!
Recipe (well, sort of, I cook by feel mostly):
Take a bunch of ripe tomatoes, big, little, whatever, but enough to fill at least a third of a large pot or enameled dutch oven when chopped up into 1-2 inch pieces. Add a healthy pour of olive oil and then put the tomato pieces in. Chop up a small to medium onion or three (to taste), throw it in the pot, get that pot on medium high heat and stir occasionally. You want to stew the tomatoes in their own juice for about 30-45 minutes, or until they are good and mushy. In this stewing mixture add salt and pepper to taste, a dash of cayenne, a couple of shakes of Italian seasoning and a bay leaf or two. While it is stewing, finely chop a clove of garlic or two and chop some fresh basil, throw these in too. Once the stew is well broken down but also rather thickened, add a bit of chicken stock to bring it back to a more thin consistency, there is no measurement, we are cooking from the heart, but I poured maybe a cup and a half in this video. Bring back to a strong simmer. When the tomatoes are mostly broken down, take the whole stew and pour it in a fine meshed strainer or into a food mill, do in batches. I used a strainer and just worked the stew against the mesh with a spatula for a considerable amount of time to force all the goodness into the pot below. This removes seeds, skin and chunks. Now we have a clean, boiling hot soup that needs one final touch - put in a short pour of heavy whipping cream and stir. You can add more or less. It is delicious!

I could t help but laugh when you said someone commented that you had poor knife skills. My knife skills are probably considered horrible, but everyone in our house still gets fed, and seems to enjoy the food! You’re doing great!
The soup looks awesome and that it tasted great there's nothing like homemade soup and tell Phoebe to get better I love to see that little girl she's so sweet
There is nothing like fresh homemade soup from the bounty of our own garden! Beautiful! My grandson and I made homemade tomato soup last year. His first time making food to can. He was 12 then. That soup never tasted better.
I love your garden to table videos. Thank you. The tomato soup looks delicious.
Your knife skills are fine. Your knives are good and sharp and you get the job done. Good enough for all normal purposes. 🙂
AWE Take care of Phoebe 💝. This soup looks so yummy!
Thank You Scott! I appreciate your cooking videos, and the time you put into them!
Hope Phoebe gets well soon. When my tomatoes start producing more I plan on giving your soup recipe a try. It certainly looks good.
I am 2 hrs. From Houston, in SW Louisiana, and Yes it is very hot! Thanks for sharing that life sometimes gets in the way of your gardening fun. It’s very true and happens to us all. Thanks for another great video and pointing out that we can grow tomatoes, etc. for flavor and not just for looks or shelf life!
I made this the other day with my romas. I cut them in half and laid them cut side up on a baking sheet. Drizzled olive oil and sprinkled salt and herbs over them and toasted them alongside the onion. Afterwards I blended everything in my vitamix and finished it off with butter in my instant pot. After it was done I added my cream. Holy heaven it was incredible!! We topped our bowls with fresh basil and bagel seasoning and chopped habaneros 😊.
Lolllll I was actually watching a different cooking video you did earlier and was thinking that your knife skills are pretty good for a home/hobby cook (coming from someone who is actually trained) - using your knuckle to position the blade so you don't slice the tips of your fingers off is allll you need (and is more than most people do haha). Ignore those useless comments, you're good Mr. Scott!! 💙💙💙 Phoebe for President!!! 🐶
Thank you Scott for the tomato soup recipe. My Cherokee purple aren’t quite ready to pick, but when they are, I know what I’m gonna do. 🍅 Yum!
Nice, garden to table recipes are great. They taste so much better than food bought from the grocery store.
I’m so making this tomorrow. Thank you for the idea!
Blessings!
Last year I didn't get many tomatoes but tons of cherry tomatoes and little pear tomatoes. I really wanted some tomato soup and decided I would amp all those tiny tomatoes up by roasting them. I halved and roasted them and mixed them with two larger ones that I had to cut off parts due to insects. With that pitiful pan of roasted tomatoes I made the most delicious tomato soup I've ever eaten. Roasting did it. I love that you show how to use what you grow - I've begun using peppers now thanks to your recipes of just plain good food. I truly believe the best meal is a rich bowl of homegrown tomato soup and a sourdough grilled cheese with tons of crunch. Thanks for another good video!
I just made 1 quart of delicious tomato soup with my garden tomatoes. It turned out great! Thanks for posting this!
If you count your fingers.....before and after....and the number is the same......your knife skills are OK! I agree on the basil. The tomato soup is the payoff for hoeing weeds and planting and building your compost and watching for rain and.....well, you get the idea. My wife and I make tomato soup about like you do.....thanks, Tom
Thank you for sharing, this is so helpful specially when is lots of tomatoes in the garden 😊
Scott, I grew 28 varieties of tomatoes this year (in Brazoria County, TX). I wanted to trial several varieties to see which produced well in our climate and which ones had the best flavor, in my opinion.
Other than delicious tomato sandwiches, the 1st thing I made with some of my harvest was homemade tomato soup. I make mine really similarly to you except I blend the cooked veggies in my blender, add the cream in the blender with the mixture (helps thicken it and keeps it from seperating at all), THEN I strain it to remive seeds, skins, etc. Works great! Try it sometime. Your soup looked great! Just need a crusty piece of bread or a grilled cheese sammy!
Love your channel!
I love homemade tomato soup. That's very similar to the way my mother made it and we as children waited anxiously for a taste.
Seeds n peels ground up changes the taste of the soup. Don’t you think. Tomato soup and grilled cheese. A favorite at my house growing up. Mom canned a lot of tomatoes. Tomatoes and macaroni another favorite. I like your recipes too. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for Phoebe
My Cherokee Purple tomatoes are my favorite this year.
As far as the knife skills go, it looks like you still have all your fingers so I think you're doing well. 😮
My recipe is very similar except I roast everything in the oven including a carrot and a red jalapeno or bell pepper.
Now I'm craving tomatoes soup!!
Love all your videos. Thank you for all that you do.
Keep the cooking video's coming! My tomatoes are almost ready to start harvesting---definitely making this!
I love tomato soup and I cook it like that too. I do add a bit hot pepper to my cooing too. I don't mind the chunky soup...yum!
I love tomato soup, it is missing a grilled cheese sandwich. 🥰 I hope Phoebe will get better. TFS 👍
Not a big fan of tomato soup, however, I wouldn’t mind making this one myself. Thank you for sharing. Happy Gardening 👨🏿🌾 💚
My mom use to make me tomatoe soup for me when I was not feeling well. I have 160 tomatoes planted so planning on making your soup recipe. Thanks Scott sorry that puppy is not feeling good.
Thanks for this one Scott. I'm in central Texas and we had a great Spring for tomato growing, so I have an abundance of beautiful tomatoes to preserve, eat and make sauce with. I haven't delved into making soup with them though, so thanks for the tips. I've got Paul Robesons, Cherokee purples and some hybrids, plus it was a great year for onions, shallots and leeks. I usually grind it all up with a immersion blender for my sauces, but I'll use the sifter this time to eliminate the seeds and skins.
Looks delicious....I picked blueberries for my cereal on my morning walkabout in my Central Arkansas 8a garden....Happy gardening (and cooking).
You’ve got my mouth just pure watering!! I harvested my first ripe slicing tomato today. We’re a little behind you in growing (in Alabama), but I can’t wait to make some soup like this!! Enjoyed your video! Happy gardening! And I hope Phoebe is doing ok!!
I use a large strainer and spatula to strain out the seeds and skins when I process my tomatoes. It takes a little more time but I dont have the space or money for additional equipment. Prayers for Phoebe!
What a great recipe, can't wait to try it❤
Got to try this tomato soup. Looks delish. I'm loving your cooking videos, I'm not always sure what to do with my veggies.
I'm a cook and have been for a few decades. Your knife skills are fine. Perhaps tuck your thumb in behind your three fingers a bit more, but the important thing is to be comfortable when chopping and slicing. When your uncomfortable, that's when accidents happen. Those are some proper nice tomato too mate. Thanks for sharing your recipe 😊
Love your videos Scott
I LOVE HOMEMADE TOMATO SOUP IT IS EVEN GOOD WITH THE TOMATOES ROASTED FIRST WITH ONIONS AND PEPPERS OOOH SO GOOD. 🙏 FOR PHEOBE TO HEAL QUICKLY BE BLESSED.
Looks wonderful
Keep up the recipes! I absolutely love tomato soup!! My cooking skills are almost limited to crunchy ramen noodles but watching you is getting closer and closer to inspiring me to try more! I was totally just thinking about using the emersion blender, may still. But thank you for covering that, too!
Looks yummy!
Feel better Phoebe.
I would have a hard time getting that to the straining level. I love homemade vegetable soup and that looks a lot like it. Both ways look good enough to make those yum yum sounds.
You made that look easy❤
Thanks for this, I'll have to try it. I have a ton of cherry tomatoes, romas, and a good amount of Florida 91's in my garden this year but they're still green. Couple weeks away!
Definitely enjoy the cooking videos!
Can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing! I totally understand with the heat! I’m in southeast Texas and wow! It is insanely hot and it’s not even July yet😳
That soup looks great. I also make a zuchinni and tomato sauted with garlic and onions. Its delicious
I've never tried tomato soup before. I'm not sure that I would like it. But man yours looks so good!
I made this and it was wonderful! Ty!
😋 yum
Poblanos would be good too . Love your recipes .
Oooh yes, poblanos!
Yummmmmy.nothing like home grown matters"tomato's"😅😅
I have yet to make a homemade tomato soup, even though tomato is my favorite soup to eat. I'm really going to have to try it out this year! Hope Phoebe is doing better ❤
Scott knife skills. You cut a flat edge on the tomato but the placed it wobbly side down on the chopping board instead of flat side down. Potatoes, onions, all the round things you cut a flat then put flat side down on the board to prevent rocking while cutting and reduce the risk of cutting yourself. Second, curl the fingers of your left hand under themselves and hold it up to your face and examine that nice flat surface that forms. Perfect for the edge of a knife to slide against and not cut your fingers. You should use curved fingers on the cutting hand and this flat for the knife to ride up and down when slicing. You slide your curled fingers back as you slice and move the knife up and down against the flat shelf and you wont risk cutting your finger tips when slicing vegetables and fruits. Takes some practice then you get fast. Fast and safe. Lastly a sharp knife is a safe knife, and a dull knife is a dangerous knife.
You can put a wet paper towel under that cutting board to keep it from sliding around the counter so much. Makes chopping stuff less aggravating. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
That looks delicious!
Scott, you can use an immersion blender right in the pot and not strain out any of that goodness! I use mine all the time for creamy soups and sauces. I'll have to try your recipe looks delicious
Homemade tomato (and tomato basil) soup was my favorite way to use up tomatoes last year too bad I didn't make enough to last until the next tomato season.
Its my all time favorite way of eating tomatoes, it makes all the hassle of gardening worth every drop of sweat.
Need that pruning the fruit tree video! I have 4 pear trees that I have no idea how to prune!
Love the cooking video's Scott. I want to try this, but without most of the onion. The last few years onions give me a sour stomach. I can tolerate a little, but that much will have me feeling bad the next day. The peppers idea sounds good as I end up with a lot of bell peppers.
I, like you, prefer my tomato soup straight up. There is nothing like veggies right out of your garden. Thanks for the soup idea…..I will have to wait for months….I am in NB, Canada and just put my home started tomatoes in the ground.🥴
omg as I was watching you make this soup I was thinking.....blitz the rest.... makes it better.....BUT.... then as I watched and as you said this is not blitxed its pure.....omg this looks awesome............. I think next time I get tomatoes I will try this soup, but not blitzts it just go thru a seive............ thank you for showing us this way, its awesome... I have at the moment in garden, Leeks, Carrots, and clauis are not quite ready yet, but I do make a lovely Carrot and Ginger soup which is awesome, I will show you when all is ready.
I think you have lovely knife skills!
Thank you. :-)
I concur. ❤️
I don't put heavy cream. I use some cream cheeze and Parmigiano. It tastes great with grill cheese sandwiches.
Another good video
Prayers for Phoebe ☺️
Growing a lemon delight pepper this year. Can’t wIt to try it.
I'm not very good with a knife either. One thing I've noticed about you, that I never do, is scrape things from the cutting board with the cutting edge of the knife. I always use the back of the knife to scrape food off into bowls/pans. I started using the back because I don't like the sound of the blade scraping against the cutting board, but it turns out using the blade will also make it dull.
Yeah I'm trying to use the back of the knife but its a hard habit to break. But I am a knife geek and keep my knives razor sharp and frequently bring out the water stones for a sharpening session. :-)
I'm wondering if you could simmer a whole basil leaf (or two), like you do with bay leaf, to get the flavor without the texture.
Yeah you probably could, in fact last week when I made it I used two bay leaves. I had a whole sprig of basil and instead of cutting it up, I could have done what you are suggesting. Thanks for the idea!
Totally could. Italians often put a whole leaf or small sprig of basil in each jar of tomato sauce when canning and they also do a whole sprig when cooking their tomato sauce if there wasn’t some in the canning process. Then just take out before serving. Yummy flavor and no change of color or texture
Yum❤️
😍
You can use an immersion blender, or cool the soup down and place it in a blender!! I like to saute my vegetables in some butter and add about a quarter of a cup of flour to my soup for body in the soup.... Then add the tomatoes.Another idea is to first roast your vegetables in the oven with oil.
No need to remove the skins... The blender will pulverize it!!
Yeah like I said, immersion blender is one way for sure, but the seeds add a level of bitter that you don't really notice until you've had it this way, seedless and skinless. Then there is no going back.
I’m a first time tomato grower 😊 I came to your channel to learn how to plant- do you have any videos on preserving, canning etc - thanks!
Actually I don't think I do. I made tomato sauce a few years ago but don't think I made a video about it. I thought I did but can't find it in my content.
@@ScottHead okay thanks so much for checking!
I’ve got tomato growing preservation vids on my channel (Mimsy’s Garden) but I came to Scott’s for this recipe- I plan to can it, once I make it! 😂😂😂
@@MimsysGarden awesome! I will check it out’
I hope Miss Phoebe is on the mend.
not bad
Look at the clock on stove 5:46 in 10 seconds missing time. 👽
FYI: alll salt sold in grocery stores is sea salt. Either mined from ancient sea deposits or with the water evaporated fron current seas. The only exception is very expensive lab salt.
Could you use this and can this soup for future use?
Maybe if you don’t add the cream.
First
Can you make a rue, to make thicker?
Sure.
Can you use a food processor?
Sure.
Chicken stock in tomato soup??? Who knew.
Transparent = Translucent.
Oh no... If you discard the onions , the garlic, and the tomato pieces, you are loosing a lot of the nutritional value of the soup!!
Of course, your soup looks amazing too!!
No the stewing process has rendered all the nutrition into the liquids, all we are leaving behind is the cellulose and fiber. :-)
Your garden skills are stellar, your cooking skills are great, your chopping skills are awesome…… but that shirt your wearing is just a little off today, it’s the wrong color! People will complain about ANYthing🙄 Yet they’re tuning in & watching 🤣🤣🤡🤡
I must've done something wrong. It heavily came out like a thick meat sauce. I'm entirely baffled.
That’s a waste. Emulsion blender is better.
That looks delicious! I am eagerly awaiting my first ripe tomato. I will give this recipe a try once my tomato bounty comes. Loving your cooking videos!
