Time 1h45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 lbs tomatoes, halved lengthwise
6 cloves garlic, left unpeeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups chicken stock or 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 350°F.
  • Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, in a single layer in a large shallow baking pan and add garlic to pan.
  • Drizzle tomatoes with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast tomatoes and garlic 1 hour, then cool in pan on a rack.
  • Peel garlic.
  • Cook onion, oregano, and sugar in butter in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, garlic, and stock and simmer, covered, 20 minutes.
  • Purée soup in batches in a blender (be careful with this hot liquid), then force through a sieve into cleaned pot, discarding the solids. If you blend it VERY well, its really not necessary to strain (I don't!).
  • Stir in cream and salt and pepper to taste and simmer 2 minutes.
  • **Soup can be made 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered.
  • Reheat just before serving.
