Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 40 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

3 pounds ripe tomatoes (about 9 globe or 24 plum), stemmed, halved, and seeded
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium white onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano

Directions

Preheat the boiler.

Place the tomatoes cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until the skins begin to char and burst, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle, remove the charred skins.

Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and then the onion. Cook and stir until tender but not brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer until the tomatoes have cooked down, about 20 minutes. Season with the salt, pepper, and sugar and add the basil and oregano. Serve immediately, or remove from the heat and cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or freezer.

This sounds like the Tomato Soup, my younger brother use to beg our Mother to make him all the time. She's been gone for over 27 years now and I'm going to see that his soon to be wife gets this recipe to make for him. Thanks

there appears to be a type error at the beginning of the Directions which brings me to wonder if maybe it called for some sort of liquid to be added. the "soup" was delicious but a bit thick. is this the way it is suppose to be?

Dear Paula Deen, This is great recipe for people with food allergies or alternative eating lifestyles. The only change a vegan would have to make is using some sort of liquid to tenderize the onions instead of butter. As someone with a wheat allergy, it is refreshing to see a tomato soup recipe that does not call for a 1/4 cup flour and in the instructions "Stir in flour to thicken".
