This tomato soup recipe varies a great deal from the tired old tomato soup of yesterday. This variety of tomato soup is punched up with the zest of orange and the dry spice cumin, the combination of these flavors together makes for a dynamite tomato soup. I fist discovered this recipe out of a cooking magazine and have modified it to my liking, it is great with a rustic loaf of bread.

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups onions (roughly chopped)
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon dry basil
1 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes
5# stewed canned tomatoes
1 1/2 lbs. crushed tomatoes canned
1 1/2 lbs. tomato paste
1/2 gallon vegetable stock

Heat oil in a large stock pot over a medium flame. Add the onion, orange zest and garlic and saute for 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add all the dry seasonings and saute for anther minute. Add the vegetable stock and all tomato products. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool. Once the soup has cooled puree in a blender until smooth. Return to the heat cook for anther 10 minutes over a low flame.
