Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds fresh tomatoes (mix of fresh heirlooms, cherry, vine and plum tomatoes)
6 cloves garlic, peeled
2 small yellow onions, sliced
Vine cherry tomatoes for garnish, optional
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 quart chicken stock
2 bay leaves
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves, optional
3/4 cup heavy cream, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Wash, core and cut the tomatoes into halves. Spread the tomatoes, garlic cloves and onions onto a baking tray. If using vine cherry tomatoes for garnish, add them as well, leaving them whole and on the vine. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, or until caramelized.

Remove roasted tomatoes, garlic and onion from the oven and transfer to a large stock pot (set aside the roasted vine tomatoes for later). Add 3/4 of the chicken stock, bay leaves, and butter. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until liquid has reduced by a third.

Wash and dry basil leaves, if using, and add to the pot. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Return soup to low heat, add cream and adjust consistency with remaining chicken stock, if necessary. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish in bowl with 3 or 4 roasted vine cherry tomatoes and a splash of heavy cream.

In watching the episode, Tyler reminds you to remove the bay leaves. The recipe itself does not state this. Therefore, I... wonder if you forgot to remove the bay leaves?? Read more

I have a similar recipe that I have been making for a tomato bisque. One of things I do different is SMOKE the tomatoes... instead of roasting them. The flavor this adds to the soup is absolutely incredible! Place the cored tomatoes on a smoker at 225 degrees for about 45 mins.I put down a piece of aluminum foil so to keep the juices for the soup. Carefully remove the tomatoes and peel the skins. ALso use what little juice is on the foil in the mix. You'll be amazed at the richness of flavor this adds.Read more

Lauren, My guess is that your "splinters" are tomato skin. You could peel the tomatoes prior to roasting if you wanted. Just... core them, then dropped in boiling water for 15 or 20 seconds and remove to an ice bath. You can easily peel the skins then. Not sure how this would affect the taste of the end product. I love this recipe.Read more

Great- but I noticed "splinters"???????
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this soup 4 or 5 times and I absolutely love it. Weirdly enough when I was making it today I after I pureed... everything in my immersion blender I tasted it and I noticed there were these small little splinter like things in the puree. Does anyone know what these are? This had never happened before when I have made the soup. I even put it in a real blender after I used the immersion blender to see if they would puree out but no luck. If anyone could let me know what these might be I would REALLY love it!!! I just love this soup and the velvety consistency It used to have!!! Thank you!!!! Read more
