Heat the Pan for Tomato Soup

Video Transcript

"My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village and I'm making tomato soup. Let us check on those tomatoes and it looks like they are done. So a nice even brown color, nice char on the tomatoes. So this is exactly what you want it to look like, a little darker won't be so bad. But my broiler is a little uneven but we are going to take this and these are going to make an awesome soup. Now for the actual making of the soup we are going to take our pot and turn on your burner here. (If it would light) We are going to turn it on like a medium high which if yours has numbers like mine does, about an eight. Let the pan get hot so what we are going to do is we are going to take olive oil we got earlier. We are going to pour that right into the bottom of the pot and some people would get the idea of cooking with this good of olive oil but good ingredients equal good end results. The first thing we are going to do is we are going to keep in mind that we are going to want to cook the things in the order of their hardness. Harder stuff goes in first reason being it takes longer to cook. So the first thing we are going to actually do is believe it or not the carrots we are going to want the carrots to get at least a little softness in them. We'll do celery second and then we are going to do the onions and the garlic last, the potatoes won't go in until the soup has actually started. Cause if they go in now they would brown up and the starch will come out of them and it won't work the way it is suppose to. "
