Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups chopped yellow onions
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 8 cups chopped fresh tomatoes, peeled and seeded
- 1/2 gallon chicken broth
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper
- Pinch of cayenne
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Goat's cheese, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped basil
- 16 wonton wrappers
- 1/4 cup water
- Garnish: 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Directions
Preheat the fryer. In a large sauce pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the onions, celery and carrots. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Saute the vegetables for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Using a hand-held blender, puree half of the soup. Stir in the parsley. Reseason with salt and pepper if needed. Stir in the heavy cream. For the dumplings: In a small mixing bowl, combine the Goat's cheese, extra-virgin olive oil and basil. Mix until the mixture is fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrappers with a litttle water. Bring two corners of the wrappers together and seal, forming a triangle. Fry the wontons for 1 to 2 minutes or until the dumplings are golden and crispy. Remove from the fryer and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the dumplings with Essence. Ladle the soup in a shallow bowl. Garnish with the dumplings and parsley.

The soup was great, but I wasn't wild about the dumplings.

This is the best recipe for tomato soup ever. The goat cheese dumplings take this soup to a whole new level!

I have made many recipes from the Food Network website, but I believe this to be the best of the ones I have made. With our without the wontons, this is an incredible tomato soup recipe. I had a large amount of tomatoes left over from a wholesale club, and searched the Food Network site for possible uses. I couldn't have found a better recipe than this one.
