The fresh flavors of the tomatoes, combined with fluffy dumplings, turn this dish into a true feast. Let’s explore the necessary steps to achieve a delicious and comforting soup. Ingredients: - 1 kg ripe tomatoes (choose the most flavorful for an intense taste) - 1 medium onion - 1 large carrot - 1 bell pepper (preferably red for an extra splash of color) - 2 cloves of garlic - 1 l vegetable broth (or water, if preferred) - 2-3 tablespoons olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste - 100 g flour - 1 egg - 50 ml water (or milk) - Optional: fresh basil for garnish Preparation: 1. Preparing the tomatoes: Start by blanching the tomatoes. Place them in a pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to cold water. This method will make peeling easier. Once cooled, peel and chop them finely. 2. Cooking the vegetables: In a large pot, add the olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion, carrot, and diced bell pepper for 5-7 minutes until soft. Add the crushed garlic and continue cooking for another minute to release the flavors. 3. Adding the tomatoes: Incorporate the chopped tomatoes into the pot, mix well, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. This step will intensify the flavors and allow the tomatoes to blend with the vegetables. 4. Preparing the soup: Pour the vegetable broth (or water) over the vegetable and tomato mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer on low for 20 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. 5. The dumplings: In a bowl, mix the flour with the egg and water (or milk) until you achieve a smooth dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Use a spoon to form small dumplings that you will add to the boiling soup. 6. Finalizing the soup: Once the soup has simmered for 20 minutes, add the dumplings and let them cook in the soup for 5-7 minutes until they rise to the surface and become fluffy. Serving: Serve the tomato soup with dumplings hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor. This soup is perfect alongside a slice of toasted bread with butter or cheese. Practical tips: - Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes, such as Roma or San Marzano, for a tastier soup. - If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can blend the soup with an immersion blender after it has cooked. - Experiment with different fresh herbs, such as oregano or parsley, to vary the flavors. - Dumplings can be replaced with small pasta or even croutons for a different variation. This tomato soup with dumplings recipe is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it an excellent choice for a healthy and satisfying meal. Take advantage of the fresh tomato season and enjoy a dish that will bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones!
