How to Make Lou's Green Tomato Soup
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 inch ginger (grated), 1 teaspoon ground coriander, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add 4 cups chopped green tomatoes, 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced), 4 cups vegetable broth, 1-2 teaspoons chili powder (adjust to taste), and 1 teaspoon sugar.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Carefully puree the soup in batches using an immersion blender or a regular blender (work in batches for safety).
- Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in 1 cup milk (or cream for a richer soup) and 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
- Heat through to a gentle simmer. Do not boil.
- Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of plain yogurt, 1/4 cup chopped cashews, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro.
