French tomato soup with fennel and orange recipe

Ingredients

Directions

French tomato soup, with its acidic tomatoes, can pick up a metallic taste when cooked in seasoned cast iron. To avoid that, this soup is started in a cast-iron pan, then transferred to a blender (or, use an enameled cast-iron pan and skip the blender).

Steps

1
Done

Arrange a wire rack over a baking sheet.

2
Done

Melt the unsalted butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the torn bread and cook until browned, turning frequently. Remove with a slotted spoon and season immediately with salt. Reserve until the soup is ready.

3
Done

Wipe out the Dutch oven, leaving a bit of oil behind, and set aside.

4
Done

In a food processor, coarsely chop the onion, fennel, carrots, and garlic.

5
Done

Heat the Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the onion mixture and thyme, and cook until soft, about 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the broth and butter and bring to a simmer.

6
Done

Wipe out the work bowl of the food processor and carefully ladle the mixture back into it. Add the orange juice and half of the orange zest, rough chopped tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7
Done

Serve garnished with a few croutons, fennel fronds, and the remaining orange zest.
