Ingredients

  • 3 pounds ripe plum tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons good olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups chopped yellow onions (2 onions)
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 (28-ounce) canned plum tomatoes, with their juice
  • 4 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 quart chicken stock or water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss together the tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the tomatoes in 1 layer on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes.

In an 8-quart stockpot over medium heat, saute the onions and garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the butter, and red pepper flakes for 10 minutes, until the onions start to brown. Add the canned tomatoes, basil, thyme, and chicken stock. Add the oven-roasted tomatoes, including the liquid on the baking sheet. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes. Pass through a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade. Taste for seasonings. Serve hot or cold.

    I absolutely love this soup and make it regularly to bottle in mason jars for lunches. I double the recipe and add about 4-6 cups of jasmine rice and half a bunch of coarsely chopped kale. The rice absorbs most of the broth so it really isn't much of a soup but is absolutely delicious and more filling. My comfort food!

    YUM!!!
    Didn't have enough basil. Will pull ALL of it in next time for sure!
    Didn't have red peppers, but had pork seasoning with it :- That worked well also.
    Didn't mash it through food mill. Instead, took the tomatoes out of the soup, peeled the skins off (not hard at all, put the tomatoes back in the soup and pulsed the whole thing in my food processor. Just enough to chop the large pieces.
    The taste - AMAZING! Very easy to make.
    Served with home made kale chips.

    I made this soup last night. It came out great. I did not have fresh Thyme so I substituted with fresh Rosemary which I had. I roasted the tomatoes with the rosemary and it came out delicious!

    Thanks Ina, I will be enjoying this soup all week and will definitely make it again.
