Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds plum tomatoes, halved
2 medium yellow onions, diced
3 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more for thinning
2 tablespoons fresh chopped tarragon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss together tomatoes, onions, garlic and oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange vegetables in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until tomatoes are deep brown in spots and onions are soft, 45 minutes.
  • Transfer vegetables and all juices to a large dutch oven or heavy pot. Add chicken broth and bring to a rapid simmer. Cook until slightly reduced, about 25 minutes.
  • Transfer soup to a large bowl. In batches, fill blender halfway with soup, puree until smooth, transferring to pot as you work (use caution when blending hot liquids). Stir in tarragon and season with salt and pepper. If necessary thin with additional chicken broth. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil.

Provided by TERRI OPGENORTH

Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 c diced onion
3/4 c diced carrot
1/2 c diced celery
1 Tbsp minced parsley
5 c peeled and chopped tomatoes (or use canned plum tomatoes with their juices to make 5 cups)
3/4 c white wine
1 c chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 c creme fraiche or heavy cream (optional)
1 tsp tarragon or more to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Melt the butter in a soup pot.
  • 2. Add the onions, carrots, celery and parsley and cook slowly; stirring often until vegetables are very soft, about 20-30 minutes.
  • 3. Add the tomatoes, wine and broth.
  • 4. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 30 minutes.
  • 5. Puree the soup in a processor or use an immersion blender on low to preserve some of the texture. (Put soup back into pot)
  • 6. Add salt, pepper, tarragon and cream if using.
  • 7. Heat gently and serve.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right tomatoes: Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best taste. Heirloom tomatoes are a great option, but any ripe tomatoes will work.
  • Fresh herbs: Tarragon is the star of this soup, so use fresh tarragon if possible. If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can use dried tarragon, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When sautéing the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make the soup watery.
  • Season to taste: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
  • Serve with a garnish: A dollop of crème fraîche or sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh tarragon, or a crouton are all great garnishes for this soup.

Conclusion:

This tomato tarragon soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. The tarragon adds a unique flavor to the soup, and the creamy texture is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this tomato tarragon soup a try.
