Ingredients

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

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.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

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.

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:

Use ripe, juicy tomatoes: This will give your soup the best flavor.
Fresh tarragon is best, but dried tarragon can be used in a pinch: If using dried tarragon, use about 1/3 of the amount of fresh tarragon called for in the recipe.
Add a little cream or milk for a richer soup: This is optional, but it can make the soup extra creamy and delicious.
Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
Garnish the soup with fresh tarragon or chives: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
