A creamy soup made with tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, spinach, and heavy cream, simmered and seasoned for a rich, flavourful bowl.
Ingredients
Reduction:
1 ½ oz sugar
1 ½ oz red wine vinegar
Soup:
24 oz water
2 cups tomato sauce
2 cups diced tomatoes, canned
8 oz heavy cream
1 pinch salt and white pepper
4 chicken bouillon cubes
Slurry
½ lb spinach leaves washed and dried
Preparation
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and red wine vinegar and simmer until it reduces by half.
In a stockpot, mix the tomatoes, diced tomatoes, water, and chicken bouillon cubes, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the slurry to thicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Julienne the spinach and add it to the soup, cooking for 5 minutes. Incorporate some of the reduction into the soup to taste for a sweet flavour; season with salt and pepper. Add fresh basil when serving.
