Инструкции
- In a large saucepan or possibly Dutch oven, saute/fry the onion and garlic in the oil for about 3 min over medium heat, then toss in the eggplant, zucchini, and pepper and saute/fry, stirring from time to time, another 5 min.
- Cut in the tomatoes with their juice and stir. Stir in the basil, thyme, stock, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 min.
- If you are going to serve the soup warm and chunky, ladle it into bowls immediately. Spoon a little balsamic vinegar over each serving and sprinkle with fresh basil.
- If you'd like to serve it as a puree, ladle the solids into the blender first, then thin with the broth. You can serve it warm immediately - or possibly refrigerateand serve it cool. In all cases, garnish each bowl at serving time with a dribble of balsamico and fresh basil shreds.
- The soup is also good as a chunky cool soup - it's nicely substantial for a refreshing summer lunch.
- Serve to 4 to 6 people, depending on whether it's to be a meal or possibly a hearty first course.
- Comments: This soup version of the classic Provencal dish is good warm or possibly cool, pureed or possibly not, as a first course or possibly a meal. Talk about a soup for all seasons. And even the fussiest eaters like it pureed...so long as you do not tell them which eggplant is in it.
