    Celiac.com 12/10/2014 - Creamy tomato soup is a comfort food classic that goes great with a gluten-free grilled cheese sandwich. Alas, some canned versions contain wheat flour.

    This gluten-free tomato soup recipe delivers a rich, creamy tomato soup that will warm your body and make your stomach sing with joy. Perfect for a cold day.

    Photo: CC--Ian MayIngredients:

    • 1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes in their juices (I use San Marzano)
    • 2 cups chicken broth
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    • 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
    • 2 bay leaves
    • ½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
    • ½ cup basil, cut to thin ribbons
    • ½ cup heavy cream

    Directions:
    Heat oil and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

    Once butter foams, add onion and a big pinch of salt and fresh ground pepper.

    Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is completely soft and just beginning to brown, about 12-15 minutes.

    Add broth, tomatoes and juices to the saucepan and stir to crush up tomatoes. Add bay leaves and heat until bubbly.

    When soup bubbles, season with a little salt and pepper, add thyme and basil, and simmer gently until tomatoes begin to break apart, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and allow soup to cool slightly.

    Carefully purée soup in a blender until smooth. Be careful. If you don't have an immersion blender, you may have to do this in batches. I always cover the top with a towel, just to be safe.

    Return soup to the stove over low heat and stir in cream. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

    Serve with salad, or vegetables, and your favorite gluten-free grilled cheese sandwich for a delicious meal.

    Looks great. However, recipe instructs to add cream twice. Perhaps should have said add the spices instead of the first mention of cream.

    I believe Janice is correct, the cream should be added last - and do not let the soup boil after the cream has been added.

    Delicious - added a large spoon of sugar to reduce acidity of tomatoes but have already been asked by a non-celiac friend for recipe. Thanks for sharing.

    Use fresh tomatoes instead of canned. Much better flavor.

    Falling in love with this sophisticated version of a true classic has helped me to leave the days of canned tomato soups behind. The added sausage and mushrooms gives this soup substance, and help to marry the herbs and fresh tomatoes to create flavor that is at once hearty and elegant. This dish goes great with a grilled cheese sandwich made with gluten-free bread and any bold, salty cheese.
    Ingredients:
    6 large tomatoes, chopped with juices reserved
    2 tablespoons tomato paste
    ½ pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
    1 pound spicy Italian sausage
    1 small onion, diced
    ½ cup red bell pepper, diced
    ½ cup green bell pepper, diced
    1 ½ tablespoons garlic, minced
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    3 cups chicken stock
    1 tablespoon dried marjoram
    1 tablespoon dried oregano

    Recently, I've learned to love the lowly beet. The beet is a rich, earthy wonder. Served chilled in a salad, beets make the perfect summertime delight. This intense beet salad is accented with blood oranges, mint and feta cheese, makes a truly bold statement. Served over mixed greens, it is sure to delight your guests.
    Ingredients:
    6 medium beets
    4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    5 blood oranges, peeled, cut into1/4-inch-thick slices
    1 cup pomegranate seeds (from one 11-ounce pomegranate)
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
    1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
    1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
    12 mint leaves, sliced thin on the bias
    1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
    1/4 cup...

    The time is here for sweaters, scarves, and soups that taste like they've taken all day to make. This earthy spin on pumpkin soup is a real treat. Keep and toast the pumpkin seeds for garnish or snack. In a pinch, canned pumpkin also works well but with the season upon us, there are too many uses for fresh pumpkin to pass them up. I like to roast up a separate one to use for serving. Just remove the top, cutting wide enough to fit a ladle and hollow out the seeds.
    Ingredients:
    2 medium-sized pumpkins
    2 cups chicken broth
    1 cup water
    1 cup milk
    2 tablespoons honey
    2 fresh bay leaves
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper
    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350° F.
    Cut pumpkins in half and scoop out the seeds. Place skin-side down on a baking d...

    Celiac.com 12/20/2013 - A good winter vegetable soup recipe is a must, especially for those really cold days when you need a good hot pot on the stove to warm things up and raise spirits with the aroma of good food.
    This winter vegetable soup does the trick nicely. It features tasty seasonal vegetables like squash, turnip, carry, chard and apple to deliver a rich, hearty soup. I like to add rice to mine for an extra hearty kick.
    Ingredients:
    4 leeks, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise, cut into 1-inch pieces, and washed well 3 medium carrots, cut into cubes 3 medium shallots, finely chopped 3 celery stalks, cut on the bias into ½-inch-thick pieces 1 quart canned chicken stock 1 cup water 1 sweet potato,...
