Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 28-ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
4 carrots, chopped
2 shallots, quartered
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 to 2 cups chicken stock
Garlic croutons, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Combine the drained whole tomatoes, olive oil, brown sugar, carrots and shallots in a large bowl and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables on the baking sheet and roast until caramelized, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat a soup pot over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until foaming. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes, then add the sherry. Cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the alcohol has cooked off, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the roasted vegetables, crushed tomatoes and 1 cup chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a simmer and cook 15 minutes.
  • Working in small batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to the pot and add more chicken stock to adjust the consistency to how you like it. Taste again and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with croutons.

This soup was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's because I used Roma tomatoes. Next time I'll try using a sweeter variety.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so creamy and flavorful, and the roasted tomatoes give it a really nice depth of flavor.

Easy to make and delicious! I used fresh tomatoes from my garden and they made the soup extra flavorful. I also added a bit of red pepper flakes for a little kick. Will definitely make this again.
