Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds fresh plum tomatoes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons (about 2 sprigs) chopped fresh rosemary, plus additional sprigs for garnish
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 thick slice day-old Italian or French bread, torn into pieces
3 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade, plus more as needed
Creme fraiche or sour cream, as garnish
Pinch of sugar

Steps:

  • Using a grilling fork, roast tomatoes over medium-hot coals or on a gas grill until skins blacken and split; then peel, core, seed, and chop.
  • In a small stockpot over low heat, melt butter with oil. Add garlic and cook until golden. Add onion and cook until slightly softened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add carrots, celery, and 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover pot and cook until vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Do not allow to brown.
  • Increase heat to medium and add tomatoes. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture resembles a thick sauce. Add bread pieces and stock and bring to a simmer. Add sugar and remaining chopped rosemary. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
  • Let soup cool for a few minutes, then puree in a blender until smooth. Thin with more stock if necessary. Adjust seasonings and serve hot, garnished with rosemary sprigs and creme fraiche or sour cream.
