The temps just dropped again so I had a chance to make something out of the new cooking mag I subscribed to (a Swiss one). Spicy tomato soup with Parmesan cream. Quick and good, just my style.

Sure, I have to translate it so will do that tomorrow. I like this magazine, it also gives nutritional info AND Weight Watcher points.

Here you go:

Piquant Tomato Soup with Parmesan Cream
serves 2 (I did a little more than double for 4 of us as a main course)

Soup:
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
1/2 chili pepper (the small long red ones)
1 Tb. butter
1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup dry vermouth (I used white wine)
14 oz can chopped tomatoes
pinch of sugar

Parmesan Cream:
1/2 bunch Italian parsley
1/2 cup cream
1 ounce grated Parmesan
salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Prep:

1. Dice onion and garlic. De-seed pepper cut into thin strips
2. Melt butter in a medium sized pan and add onion, garlic and pepper. Cook til soft. Add broth and vermouth and boil rapidly for 3-4 minutes. Add tomato and sugar and cook, partially covered, for 5 more minutes. Add salt if needed.
3. Finely chop parsley as the soup cooks.
4. Beat cream til stiff. Add parsley, Parmesan. Add salt and nutmeg.
5. Blend soup until smooth. Season to taste
6. Reheat soup and put into pre-warmed soup bowls. Place a spoon of the Parmesan cream in the soup and serve immediately.

Pro portion:
7 g protein, 19 gram fat, 11 gram carb, 261 calories.

I added a bit more hot pepper. Next time I will make the cream with basil instead of the parsley, I think that will bring it up a notch. I also used canned date tomatoes but wouldn't do that again. There were so many seeds I have to put it through a fine sieve.

Enjoy,
Mary
