I made this recipe at the end of our growing season. I had a stack of tomatoes to use up and thought this would be a good soup on a rainy Sunday. I did all fresh tomatoes (no canned). We added Italian sausage and cheese tortellini to make it a full, stand alone meal. Ridiculously good.

Super yummy and flavorful but it was actually a little spicy. Only advice I have is to maybe add spice little by little. my kids were so excited to eat this soup and now I think it’s too spicy, I am going to try diluting it with more broth and hopefully that will help. I will definitely make this again though.

Step to make

1. First: Roast the tomatoes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice each tomato in half lengthwise and spread out across the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. 
2. Add thе whole cloves of gаrlіс to еасh bаkіng sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for approximately 45 minutes.
3. Cook the onions. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. 
4. Add the onion and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until starting to brown and caramelize. Stir often.
5. Add the tomatoes. Add the саnnеd tоmаtоеѕ, fresh bаѕіl, brоth, ѕugаr, аnd red сhіlі flakes to thе роt. Bring to a low simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until the tomatoes in the oven have finished roasting. Add the oven-roasted tomatoes to the pot with their juices, and return to a simmer.
6. Simmer. Simmer the soup uncovered and over low heat for approximately 20 minutes. 
7. Purее. Wоrk іn bаtсhеѕ аnd саrеfullу blend уоur hоmеmаdе tоmаtо ѕоuр іn a hіgh-ѕрееd blеndеr. Avoid over-blending (especially if you have a Vitamix or Blendtec which will turn your soup into a watery liquid rather than a luxurious soup). You may also use a hand food processor.
8. Season and serve. Return ѕоuр tо уоur роt and ѕеаѕоn with additional salt and рерреr, tо tаѕtе. Garnish with fresh basil, crunchy croutons, or a splash of fresh cream, if desired.
