Ingredients  

  • 10 large Roma tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt natural
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper fresh cracked
  • 2 tbsp. butter grass-fed
  • 1 large onion
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 2 c. basil fresh
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. thyme fresh
  • 1 tbsp. sage fresh
  • 28 oz. can San Marzano tomatoes
  • 2 c. chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2/3 c. heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  •  fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions 

Roasting the Tomatoes:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Prepare the tomatoes by slicing and laying flat on a baking sheet. Drizzle the sliced tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the tomatoes for 30 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and caramelized.

Sautéing the Onions, Garlic & Herbs:

  • While the tomatoes are roasting, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in large pot over low-medium heat.
  • Add the chopped the onion and pressed garlic cloves to the pot, and sauté for about 5 minutes over low-medium heat until the onions are fragrant, translucent and slightly caramelized.
  • Add the chopped basil, thyme and sage to the pot with onion and garlic, and continue to sauté for 5 more minutes.

Making the Soup:

  • Once the tomatoes are roasted, add the roasted tomatoes to the large pot with onions, garlic and herbs, along with the San Marzano tomatoes and chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  • After simmering the soup, use an immersion blender to purée and combine the ingredients until smooth. Add the heavy cream and honey, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves, a dash of cream and fresh cracked pepper. Serve warm, with a side of homemade sourdough grilled cheese. Enjoy!
