Velvety tomato soup made with canned tomatoes, perfect for dipping grilled cheese. Better than Campbell's, just as easy!
Ingredients:
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, yellow or white, diced
  • 4 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly cracked pepper
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed or diced tomatoes
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups (32 oz) low sodium chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions:
  • In a Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter until foamy. Cook the onions and garlic with salt and pepper until softened and fragrant, about 7 minutes.
  • Create a roux by adding flour and stirring into a smooth paste. Keep stirring until the flour turns a light brown color. This should take 5 to 7 minutes. The roux should appear golden with slight caramelization.
  • Combine and simmer: Combine crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken stock, and sugar. Stir well. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes.
  • To puree the soup, use an immersion blender. Alternatively, fill a countertop blender less than halfway with the hot soup, remove the center lid insert to let steam escape, cover the hole with a folded kitchen towel, and blend until smooth. Repeat until all the soup is pureed. Serve in bowls with cracked pepper, slivered basil, and grilled cheese sandwiches on the side.
