Episode notes
Roast Canned Tomatoes For Brightness
- Roast canned tomato solids after draining for deeper, fresher tomato flavor. Add a little brown sugar to balance acidity and coax out sweetness before pureeing.
Tomato Paste Adds Body Quickly
- Tomato paste supplies concentrated body and deep tomato flavor when fresh tomatoes lack density. It restores mouthfeel and richer notes in quick soups that don't simmer long.
Build A Fast Weeknight Tomato Soup
- For a quick weeknight soup, sauté onions, add tomato paste and 20 oz cherries, simmer 15–20 minutes, then puree and finish with a splash of cream and sherry vinegar. Use paste for body and a little vinegar to restore brightness if you add cream.
