SUMMARY:KindSoup for Students - Make Burst Cherry Tomato Orzotto w/Basil\, Arugula and Cannellini Beans to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for KindSoup for Students as we make a Burst Cherry Tomato Orzotto w/Basil\, Arugula and Cannellini Beans (based on based on this recipe from the NYT). \nWe’ve added white beans to this delightful dish to add more protein and make it a one-pot meal!  “Cherry tomatoes are first cooked down with aromatics until they burst and their juices thicken. This concentrated tomato mixture fortifies the broth\, imparting its flavor to the orzo. Stirring every minute or so releases the pasta’s starch\, while a pat of butter makes this dish silky and that much more reminiscent of a saucy risotto. The orzotto is only as good as the tomatoes you use\, so be sure to use the best ones you can get your hands on. Topping each serving with a handful of arugula is a wonderful way to incorporate more greens and add a bit of fresh\, peppery zing.” \nAfter completing your soup\, and sharing some with your family\, freeze and label the rest for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers. \nStudents can earn 1 Student Service Learning Hour for every 2 quarts of frozen soup made with the group and delivered to others.  There is a maximum of 8 quarts that can qualify for any given day (4 hours). Most recipes render at least 6 quarts of soup\, 3 SSL hours.  \nIn order to receive SSL Hours \n\n take a picture during preparation and at delivery\nreport on where you shared your KindSoup \nComplete this SSL Form  \n\nConnect to Zoom event \n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\nBurst Cherry Tomato Orzotto with Basil\, Arugula and White Beans\nIngredients:  \n\n1/3 cup olive oil \n3 large shallots\, chopped (about a cup)\nSalt \n1 head garlic – grated \n1 tsp crushed red pepper\, to taste\n4 ½pounds cherry tomatoes \n3 cups tightly packed fresh basil leaves\, roughly chopped\, plus 1 sprig \n2 pounds orzo \n4-6 cans (or 1 1/2 lb dry – precooked) cannellini (or other white) beans\n3 quart (12 cups) low-sodium vegetable broth (more as needed)\n2 cups grated Parmesan\, plus more for serving\n3 Tablespoons unsalted butter \n1 lemon\, juiced (more to taste)\nArugula\, optional topping for serving\n\nInstructions\n\n\nHeat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the shallots\, some salt and cook\, stirring often\, until the shallot is translucent and fragrant\, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook\, stirring constantly\, until fragrant\, another minute or so more.\nAdd the tomatoes\, basil sprig and 3 cups water and cover the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and let cook\, covered\, until the tomatoes are very soft and easily burst when pressed with a wooden spoon or spatula\, about 10 minutes.\nUse the back of a wooden spoon or spatula to press the tomatoes against the side of the pot until all the tomatoes are broken down. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a steady yet gentle boil.\nCover and continue to cook\, stirring occasionally\, until the tomato liquid has thickened\, slightly deepened in color and reduced by about half\,  10-12 minutes. The mixture will go from very brothy to a tomato soup-like texture.\nStir in the orzo\, broth and some salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook\, stirring every minute or two and making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking\, until the orzo is tender and saucy\, 10-13 minutes more.  Add the beans and stir it around to be well blended.\nRemove the pot from the heat and discard the basil sprig. Stir in the Parmesan\, butter\, lemon juice and chopped basil until silky and evenly combined. Season to taste with salt as needed. Serve immediately\, topped with fresh arugula and more Parmesan\, as desired.\n\n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nSTUDENTS:  \nPrior to our Sunday’s cooking session:  \n\nConfirm your participation by signing up at the bottom of this page\nGather your ingredients\nMake sure that you have either a Soup Pot large enough to hold all of this soup\, or two smaller ones that will together hold it all\nHave 6 quart sized plastic soup containers with tight fitting lids (ask your neighbors if you could have theirs rather than them recycling them – they will be thrilled)\n\nHave all of your ingredients and cooking tools out and ready for when you sign on to our zoom at 5pm.
