Tomato Soup with Surprise Effect – Otto Koch

Carefully remove the green stems from the tomatoes and set aside. Cut tomato flesh into coarse cubes.

Soak gelatin in cold water.

Sauté two thirds of the shallots, garlic and bacon in olive oil. Add diced tomatoes and herb leaves. Fill up with clear soup and make. When tomatoes are soft, strain through a sieve. Season strongly with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Squeeze gelatin and stir into soup. Pour the soup into the hemispherical molds and set aside to cool until the soup has gelled.

Remove the tomato halves from the molds. Using a hot spatula, briefly warm the smooth side and press two halves together at a time. Press the reserved tomato stem onto each ball so that everything together repeatedly looks like fresh tomatoes.

Then set aside to cool repeatedly.

Sauté remaining shallot in a small saucepan with butter and serve this saucepan on a stove top. The soup is then served there as follows: Place the jellied tomatoes together in the prepared cooking pot (remove the green beforehand). Quickly pour gin over them and flambé. The temperature causes the jellied tomatoes to dissolve, briefly bubble up and arrange in soup bowls. Sprinkle with whipped cream and a little bit of chopped parsley.

Our tip: Use bacon with a fine, smoky note!
