Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 Roma tomatoes (sliced lengthwise)
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 yellow onion (diced)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (minced)
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1 cup fresh basil (roughly chopped)
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange sliced Roma tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for about an hour until caramelized.
  2. In a large pot, heat butter over medium-high heat. Sauté diced onion for about 5 minutes until soft, then add garlic and thyme.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, chopped basil, and sugar; lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Add chicken stock and roasted tomatoes; simmer for an additional 30 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  5. Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or by carefully transferring to a blender in batches. Stir in heavy cream before serving.
  6. For added crunch, create mini croutons by baking bread cubes tossed with olive oil and garlic at 400°F for about 7 minutes.
