Question by Fromage Bleu: Why do you have to peel tomatos when making tomato soup?
Most recipes call for pelling the tomatos (or called like soaking them so the skins come off) why? whats the matter with the skins on?

Best answer:

Answer by esmerelda
The skins separate and then curl up, so you’ll have all of these unattractive little skin curls in your soup…plus they detract from the creaminess of the soup. If you’re going through the trouble of making the soup, it’s worth it to remove the skins. Just plunge the whole tomatoes into boiling water for a minute and then transfer them to a bowl of ice water – the skins will peel right off.

  10. Hi Zorinaspice, great video as always. This is one dish I really enjoy & am glad I have your instructional video. However, whenever I’ve eaten saltfish (and bake), the saltfish usually has more color (usually a light brown). Is this because it’s cooked longer or maybe there is more oil in those? Also, what kind of oil did you use in this video? Thanks! (subscribed & liked)

  22. Esmerelda’s answer is a good one, but here’s another way to do it. Cut your tomatoes up and cook your soup as you wish. Before finishing it, strain the soup through a seive to remove the seeds and skin. As an alternative, you can tell your guests that your soup is rustic and you didn’t remove the skins to make it more natural.

  23. the soup is smoother with out the skins. The skins curl up and make the soup kind of lumpy. If you want to keep the skins, I guess you could puree the soup before you serve it.

  24. have you ever put a balloon in your mouth ??
    and chewed it !!
    that’s why some ingrid’s MUST be peeled !!
    kinda takes the fun outta the taste !
    besides it doesn’t take long to boil water (with the tomatos in it ) turn off run in cold water cool and peel mash add seasoning heat serve and enjoy , no real task ,you wouldn’t like it if campbels would leave the skin’s on would you ??

  25. The peelings are rubberier and are not that good with tomato soup. Just put tomato’s in kettle with water let come to boil, just for a few minutes, then put in cold water the peelings will come right off. Very easy to do.

  26. Hope this helps with your question. Have you ever ate a stewed tomato with the skin on? The skin gets stuck in your throat and you choke on it. Seen it happen to many times. For safety alone they should be peeled. Even when raw if the person is young or older with poor dentition.

  27. I don’t suppose you really have to, if you plan to puree them in the blender afterwards.
