Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 Roma tomatoes (sliced lengthwise)
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 yellow onion (diced)

  4. Add crushed San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil, and sugar to the pot; simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Incorporate the roasted tomatoes and chicken stock; let simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender.

  8. For added texture, make mini croutons by tossing bread cubes with olive oil and garlic before baking until golden brown.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with croutons and additional basil if desired.
