Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • Stockpot
  • Handheld immersion blender

Ingredients
  

  • 3.5 pounds ripe tomatoes any small- to medium-sized tomatoes will do
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • fine sea salt
  • freshly-cracked black pepper
  • 1 large white or yellow onion diced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.75 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2.5 cups vegetable broth
  • 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves loosely-packed
  • optional toppings freshly-grated Parmesan, drizzle of heavy cream or olive oil, croutons, sour cream or fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • Roast the tomatoes. Heat oven to 450°F. Quarter the tomatoes and arrange them cut-side-up on a baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until softened, then transfer to a wire rack.
  • Sauté the onion and garlic. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, smoked paprika and crushed red pepper flakes and sauté for 2 more minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Put it all together. Add the broth, basil, and the roasted tomatoes (once they are ready) with their juices and stir to combine.
  • Purée. Using a handheld immersion blender, purée the soup until it reaches your desired texture.
  • Season. Taste the soup and season with extra salt, pepper, and/or smoked paprika as needed.
  • Serve. Serve warm, garnished with any extra toppings you would like, and enjoy!

Notes

To purée the soup using a traditional blender, transfer it to the blender in batches, tent the lid slightly open to prevent splatter, and blend until smooth.
