A creamy rendition of a traditional favorite. This has made me a SouperHero in my house. This meal is full-bodied enough to not need the addition of a sandwich; however, garlic bread is nice for dipping.

FIRE ROASTED TOMATO BASIL SOUP



Fire Roasted Tomato Basil Soup image

If you have ever had Carabba's new fire roasted tomato soup, this recipe is exactly what you are looking for. This soup is not only delicious but simple to make.

Provided by savini97

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 (14 ounce) cans of hunt's fire-roasted tomatoes
5 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 yellow onion (diced)
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 tablespoon sugar (optional)
2 ounces olive oil
15 -20 fresh basil leaves (rolled and cut into a chiffonade)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a heavy pot on medium high heat, pour in the olive oil and throw in the onion until translucent.
  • Add the chopped garlic and heat with the onion for about four minutes.
  • Next, add the cans of fire roasted tomatoes including the juice to the pan and cover for about 15 minute **Make sure you stir your mixture every few minutes**.
  • With the lid off the pan, add the chicken broth and heavy whipping cream and bring the pot to a simmer. The mixture should start to thicken as it reduces. This should take about 10 minute You want the soup to be somewhat thicken but not soupy. If your soup is a bit thin, let it simmer a bit longer while occasionally stirring.
  • When it comes to the right consistency, add the fresh basil (reserve some for a garnish) and season to taste with the salt and pepper. Lower your heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes more.
  • Now it's time to get out your blender.
  • With a ladel, place the soup mixture in the blender and puree until smooth. You can do this in batches as well. Please use caution when handling the mixture and blender as it could burn your hand as you press down on the lid. I suggest using a small kitchen towel to prevent this.
  • After the soup is smooth, pour the soup back into the original pan and check for consistency.
  • Serve with a small sprinkle of the reserved bail as a garnish.
  • Excellent with crusted bread or toasted crostinis.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes. The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your soup will be.
  • Roast the tomatoes. Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a smoky depth of flavor.
  • Use fresh basil. Fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the soup. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but be sure to use less, as it is more concentrated.
  • Don't overcook the soup. Overcooked soup will lose its fresh flavor and become bland.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the soup is flavorful and balanced.
  • Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

This tomato basil soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its fresh, vibrant flavors and creamy texture, this soup is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try.
