This wonderful tomato soup recipe comes from the Bistro Jeanty restaurant in Yountville, California. It’s one of many fantastic restaurant recipes in Napa Valley. You will need 2 1/2 lbs ripe/juicy tomatoes, 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 pound of onion, 6 garlic cloves, 1/4 c of tomato paste, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 Tb. pepper corns, 1 tsp. thyme, 4 cups heavy cream, 1 tbsp butter. Salt to taste, 1/2 tsp white pepper, 1 lb. puff pastry, 1 egg. Procedure: Melt the ½ cup butter in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add the onions, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and peppercorns; cover and cook for about 5 minutes. Do not let the onions color. Add tomato paste and lightly “toast” the tomato paste to cook out the raw flavor the add tomatoes, and water if needed. Simmer over low heat for 30-40 minutes, until the tomatoes and onions are very soft and broken down. Puree by passing through a food mill. A food mill works best however you may use a blender in batches or a handheld immersion blender until finished, the strain. Return the soup o the pot. Add the cream, salt, white pepper and remaining butter to taste. Bring soup to a simmer then remove from heat. Allow the soup to cool for two hours or overnight – in the refrigerator. Divide the soup among six 8-ounce soup cups or bowls. Roll out the puff pastry to 1/4 inch. Cut into 6 rounds slightly larger than your cups. Paint the dough with the egg wash and turn the circles, egg wash side down, over the tops of the cups, pulling lightly on the sides …

Thank you very much for sharing your easy-to-do recipes which add lots of flavour to my (so far poor) cooking skills !
You can certainly try it that way. You don’t even need to add the vegetable broth. Just puree the soup without the cream. Hope you enjoy it! Jason
Thanks! And you are welcome! Jason
I enjoy you videos.. thank you for making them easy to understand……
What do you think about using oil instead of butter, and vegetable broth instead of heavy cream in the soup? My family loves tomato soup but rarely has any because of the high sodium content of the canned varieties or high fat content in other versions. I’m wondering how to make tomato soup for a family with diabetes, high blood pressure and a history of heart disease!!!
Milk would be fine to use. Hope you enjoy it!
well may be. i have to look for it. is there big difference if i use milk instead ?
@UrmrslowguyROBLOX
Yes, that is on my to-do list. Thanks! =]
You should make a video how to make Crepes!
Heavy cream is a full-fat cream (but not whipped). Do you have anything like that in Russia?
Yes, you can certainly leave out the cream and make it as chunky as you like. Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I like the soup from this receipe i made but i prefer not to blend it or put any cream in it.
could you explain what “heavy cream” is. i live in russia and have no idea what it is =) thx in advance.
Thats the widest microwave I have ever seen.
I just posted a video response that puts a unique spin on tomato soup with lentils. Definitely more healthy than this recipe, but this one sure looks delicious. I’m all about the immersion blenders, too.

Yeah, this was one of our first videos. We have since invested in some better sound equipment. Hopefully some day we can afford a sound guy ha ha..
BTW, I don’t know what a “sponsored” video is. We were just on a travel segment for our “CaliforniaTravelTips” channel, and I thought it would be cool to feature this great recipe from Bistro Jeanty while we were there.
This feels like a “sponsored” video. The audio mix was terrible. You might want to invest in a decent sound guy.
You deserve a thanks aswell for bringing the recipe to Youtube – i wouldnt have a chance of ever trying it out without, but yes, they certainly deserve a major thanks aswell!
@TobySkov
Don’t thank me, thank Bistro Jeanty!
Hi Jason!
I tried this yesterday night. I never imagined that the pastry would fit that well, i was wondering what you were doing when putting it over, but when trying myself, it just worked great.
Thanks for the recipe!
@uurmek
Thanks for that info uurmek!
@bravo331 Keep in mind this makes quite a lot of soup. The only unhealthy thing about it really is all that heavy cream. You really don’t need it, milk is just fine.
I find the music is a little bit too loud. Thank you for the receipe.
A whole stick of butter?? Where did I leave my defibrillator…
@moonchild07
Do you have a hand masher?
