Spicy Tomato Soup Shots
Description
This recipe begins by sweating chopped onion in olive oil until tender, then adding garlic and spicy peppers for a fragrant base. Tomato sauce, tomato paste, and water are stirred in and simmered to develop depth and slightly thicken. After cooking, the hot soup is blended with nonfat plain yogurt, cumin, and salt to achieve a smooth, creamy texture that tempers the heat while adding brightness.
The finished soup is served in small glass shots or bowls and topped with grated Parmesan cheese and optional fresh cilantro or parsley, adding savory and fresh herbal notes. The inclusion of cumin introduces a warm, earthy undertone, complementing the tomato and pepper flavors.
Spicy Tomato Soup Shots are well-suited to being served with mini grilled cheese sandwiches for a balanced appetizer. Leftovers can be stored refrigerated and reheated gently for up to two days.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ yellow onion chopped, medium
- 1 tablespoon garlic finely chopped, 1 tablespoon
- 1-2 malagueta pepper s, or tabasco pepper
- 2 cups tomato sauce or ½ carton of 33.5oz, Hunt's® brand
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste Hunt's® brand
- 2 cups water
- ¼ cup yogurt nonfat, plain
- 1 dash cumin
- salt to taste
- Parmesan Cheese Kraft® brand, grated, for sprinkling
- cilantro optional, or parsley; a few leaves; for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium stainless steel saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Sweat onion until tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and pepper, and cook for about 1 minute.
- Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, and water; stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Remove soup from heat. Add the yogurt, the soup, cumin and salt to a blender. Blend until soup is smooth (To avoid spillage, make sure to press the lid of the blender on tightly). Pour in glass shots or bowls, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, and garnish with cilantro or parsley if desired. Spicy tomato soup can be accompanied by mini grilled cheese sandwiches. This recipe yields 5 (8-ounce) cups of soup.
- NOTE: To make Mini Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, sprinkle Kraft® Grated Parmesan Cheese on the buttered sides of each sandwich and fill sandwich with a slice of your favorite semi-soft cheese (e.g. American cheese, Asadero, and the Brazilian Minas and Prato). Grill sandwiches in skillet until cheese melts and bread is toasty and golden brown. Slice into mini sandwiches (each standard-size sandwich can be sliced into thirds) and serve with spicy tomato soup shots.
Notes
- Leftover soup can be refrigerated and is best consumed within 2 days after gentle reheating.
- Use canned tomato sauce and paste for consistent flavor and easier preparation.
- Adjust the amount of malagueta or tabasco pepper to control the soup's spiciness.
- Garnish adds both visual appeal and flavor; fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley are optional but recommended.
