Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium green tomatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium potato
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup heavy cream (optional)
Instructions
Wash the green tomatoes and cut them into quarters. Peel and dice the onion and garlic. Peel the potato and cut it into small cubes.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the garlic to the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the green tomatoes and potato cubes to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the oil and aromatics.
Pour the vegetable broth into the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes and potatoes are tender.
Stir in the fresh parsley, basil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer it in batches to a countertop blender.
If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer texture. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers.
