Ingredients:
• 1 tablespoon olive oil◈
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes
• 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy -/+ (whipping) cream
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional garnishes: Extra cream, chopped parsley,
and/or basil. Grated parmesan cheese is another option.
Instructions:
• In a large pot or saucepan, heat the oil and butter
over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 4 minutes,
or until translucent.
• Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
• Stir in tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil over
high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25
minutes.
• Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender,
purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively,
transfer to a traditional blender and purée in
batches, then return to pot.
• Return to heat and stir in cream. Season with
salt and pepper, to taste.
• Serve warm, topped with a drizzle of cream and
chopped parsley or basil, if using.
◈ I use a neutral oil and opted for chicken broth
and this recipe can be doubled. If fresh tomatoes
are used, slice them a thickly and place on a
baking sheet. Drizzle with a bit of oil and cook
in a 400°F oven about 20 minutes or so. If you
want charred tomatoes, turn your broiler on and
roast until you see charred bits around the edges.
After roasting proceed with the cooking using all
the steps above.
