Ingredients

  • 6 ripe beefsteak tomatoes (about 3 ½- 4 pounds) cut in half
  • 2 red bell peppers cut into ¾ inch pieces
  • 1 small red onion sliced thin
  • 4 cloves of garlic smashed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1-2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1-2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar

To Serve:

  • Chopped fresh basil
  • Extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  •  Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Place tomato halves cut size down in a roasting pan.  Add peppers, onions and garlic. Toss vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper  Transfer pan to oven and roast for an hour.
  • Remove pan from the oven and allow the vegetables to cool slightly.  Using tongs, slip the skins off of the tomatoes. Transfer half the vegetables and any accumulated juices to a blender, discarding any hard cores from the tomatoes as you go.  Blend until smooth. Transfer to a large saucepan. Repeat with remaining vegetables.
  • Add enough broth to give the soup a nice, creamy consistency.  Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to simmer for 10 minutes.  Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. If you think the soup needs a little more zing, add the second teaspoon of vinegar.  Serve topped with basil and a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

Can be made up to three days ahead.  This soup also freezes well.
