Hey guys, it’s Ro!
Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies.
Lately, I’ve been eating a lot of soup and I found these awesome Wonder Woman cookie cutters!
So I thought, let’s combine those things, today we’re gonna be making Wonder Woman Tomato Soup!
Let’s get started!
The things you will need, will be: 2 cans of diced tomatoes, these are each 28 ounces,
and then you’re gonna need 2 little cans of tomato juice, these are each 5.5 ounces, then
you’re gonna need a 6 ounce can of tomato paste. You’re also gonna need 1 cup of vegetable broth.
And then this part is optional, it’s 1/2 a cup of heavy cream, I like a creamy tomato soup,
but if you have a allergy to dairy like my sister does, then you’ll probably want to skip this
part, that’s OK. You’re gonna need 2 bay leaves, a little bit of red pepper flakes for a
little bit of spice, 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 cup of basil, 2 stalks of parsley and,
2 sprigs of thyme, I actually have these growing outside in my backyard, so that really came
in handy. You’re also gonna need 2 cups of chopped onion, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of garlic,
1 cup of chopped celery, 1 cup of chopped carrots and we’re gonna need some cheese,
we’re gonna be decorating, I’m using a medium cheddar cheese. And we’re gonna be using these
awesome cookie cutters that I found online, I’ll put a link down below if you’re interested in getting them.
I can’t wait to show you what we’re gonna be doing with these, it’s a very simple and fun idea.
Alright, let’s put it all together!
The first thing that we’re gonna do is chop our veggies!
I’ve got a cutting board and a sharp cutting knife, and I’m gonna start with my carrots.
Just gonna grab a bunch of ‘em, and chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.
And be careful, don’t get your fingers. Then we’re gonna scoop a cup of these carrots
into our big saucepan. Then celery.
Now our onion, you’re gonna cut off the ends, I like to peel them like this. Then I like to
cut them in half, and then I like to cut them in half again, then I just slice.
Oh my eyes! It’s Wonder Woman’s weakness!
Scoop up 2 cups and throw them in the pot.
Next, take your garlic, and we’ve already peeled out 4 cloves, and we’re gonna chop 'em up.
We need 1 and 1/2 tablespoons, and then we’re gonna add it to the pot.
Lastly we’re gonna chop up our basil, but we’re not gonna add it to the pot, we’re just gonna put
it back into a bowl, off to the side and remember, we want 1 cup.
Now we’re gonna bring our pot of veggies over to the stove.
Turn your stove on to medium heat and add some olive oil, and your bay leaves. Let this
cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Next, add the 2 cans of diced tomatoes, then add half of our chopped basil, we’ll add the other
half later. And you’re gonna add thyme and parsley, and I’ve tied them together because
we'll be removing these after the flavor sets in.
Next, we add the vegetable broth, tomato juice, tomato paste, I’m just scooping it in ‘dere!
And, our cream. For flavor, this is optional, I like to add a little salt, fresh ground pepper,
and a pinch of sugar. Now we want to bring the mixture to a boil, once it starts bubbling, turn
the heat down to a simmer, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, we’ll remove the lid, and you’re gonna remove the thyme, parsley
and bay leaves.
Then we’re gonna add our final ingredients, add the rest of our basil, the pepper flakes,
and a little bit of butter. Stir together until everything is combined.
I just took the soup off of the stove, it’s really hot, so be careful! And I’m gonna
pour it into this blender and blend it up so it’s nice and smooth.
Oh my, oh my gosh! Oh my gosh I wish I was a little bit taller!
Fun fact, graceful is Wonder Woman’s middle name!
And you guys didn’t see it, but my invisible plane bumped me… So…
And now mix it together!
Now that the soup is ready, we’re gonna add our decorative finishes, I’m so excited, we’re gonna
be using our Wonder Woman cookie cutters. And, I took the piece of cheese and I cut
it into 3 separate slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
A-ha! I cut the cheese over here! Oh-arh!
Alright and then you’re gonna take your cookie cutter, and you’re gonna place it right
on top and we’re gonna cut out the design, just like a cookie. Peel off the excess cheese, gently
push it out.
Then you’re gonna take your second, smaller cookie cutter, place it right in the middle,
and then gently press it down about half way.
And there you have it! And you can make as many as you would like!
I don’t know about you guys, but I love eating crackers with my soup and I have 2
of my favorite crackers that I’m eating with soup right now. The first one is from Cheez-It, I love
cheesy crackers with tomato soup because I always like to put a little cheese on there. I think it goes
really well together. And these are the Scrabble kind, they’re really fun!
I spelled out Wonder Woman Soup with the little crackers!
And my second favorite are these little toast crackers, they make me feel so fancy because
when I go to restaurants they have these kind of crackers, and I’m like, ohhhhh so nice!
Now, here’s our soup and now we’re gonna add cheese and crackers.
Ta-da! Here is Wonder Woman Tomato Soup, this recipe serves 6 people, so there’s plenty to
share with friends and family. I’m gonna be eating this for lunch today, so I’m super excited!
