Chilled Tomato Vermicelli Soup
Preparation and cooking time: 10 minutes
This is an easy summer soup using pantry items. If made a bit ahead it can be welled chilled but if you can't, just chill the tomato juice ahead of time; even with warm vermicelli, the soup will be cool. Garnish with some fresh basil.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups tomato juice, chilled, 360gr, 12.7oz
- 1 cup beef stock, 225gr, 8oz
- 1/4 cup vermicelli, or other very small pasta, 35gr, 1.2oz
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese, any flavor, 30gr, 1oz
- Fresh basil leaves
Instructions:
- Heat the stock in a saucepan until boiling.
- Add vermicelli and simmer for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. It should be almost done... but not quite. (for other pasta, follow package directions, cooking until almost done)
- Remove from heat and let cool - it will finish cooking and not get too done.
- When no longer hot, add the tomato juice, stir well and chill until ready to serve.
- To serve: ladle into soup bowls.
- Divide the cheese and sprinkle over the top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve.
