yield: 2 generous servings

17,744 Canned Tomatoes Stock Photos, Pictures & Royalty-Free Images - iStock You only need three main ingredients (+ water and salt) to make this velvety, rich tomato soup recipe. Everything is tossed into a pan — no browning, no hovering over a stove. Prep is 5 minutes and cooking time is about 40 minutes.

YOU WILL NEED

4 tablespoons butter

½ large onion, cut into large wedges

1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes, we prefer to use whole peeled or crushed, see notes for fresh tomatoes

1 ½ cups water or low sodium vegetable stock, or chicken stock

½ teaspoon fine sea salt, or more to taste

DIRECTIONS

Melt butter over medium heat in a Dutch oven or large saucepan.

Add onion wedges, water, can of tomatoes with their juices, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally and add additional salt as needed.

Blend the soup with a blender or an immersion blender, and then season to taste. The soup doesn’t need to be ultra-smooth, some texture is a nice touch.

Use caution when you use a blender. It is best to blend in batches and not fill the blender more than half full since the soup is so hot. We like to remove the center insert of the lid and cover it with a kitchen towel while blending — this helps to release some of the steam and prevents the blender lid from popping off (which can be a big, hot mess).

Enjoy!

Options:

Add basil or other herbs
Add some hot sauce or curry powder

Seafood green onion pancake

Seafood green onion pancake maangchi’s recipe Some tips when making these pancakes: • For a vegetarian version, skip the seafood and egg and use vegetable stock. • The batter should be runny, because thick batter will clump when you cook it and your pancake won’t turn out well. • While cooking, press down and poke the pancake to make some gaps in between the green onions. You should see some steam coming up through the gaps, that means the green onions are being cooked nicely. • This pancake is too heavy to toss up and flip, so don’t try it! You’ll need a big spatula to turn it over. • Be sure to make the dipping sauce, that’s the best way to enjoy it! Ingredients Serves 2 • ½ cup all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon potato starch(corn starch) • ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus a pinch of salt • a pinch of ground black pepper • ¾ cup stock (anchovy kelp stock, chicken stock or vegetable stock), or water • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil • 12 green onions, roots and tops trimmed to 8 to ...
