How to Make Rustic Style Roasted Tomato Basil Soup
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and halve 2 pounds of ripe tomatoes.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved tomatoes with 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Spread the tomatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Roast for 45 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and slightly caramelized.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, prepare the soup base.
- In an 8-quart stockpot over medium heat, sauté 1 large onion (chopped) and 4 cloves garlic (minced) in 2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of red pepper flakes for 10 minutes, or until the onions are softened and lightly browned.
- Add one (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 2 cups fresh basil leaves (packed), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock to the pot.
- Add the roasted tomatoes (including any juices from the baking sheet) to the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed. Consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra depth of flavor.
- Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender to achieve your desired consistency. Serve warm and enjoy!
