Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Butter or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Diced onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 28oz can Roma tomatoes in purée
  • 1 cup Chicken stock or vegetable stock
  • Dash of hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp Freshly ground pepper

Options for garnish

  • Fresh basil
  • Crème fresh
  • Grilled cheese croutons

Instructions
 

  • In a small pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
    Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 2–3 minutes.
    Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
    Add the tomatoes and lightly crush them with a potato masher.
    Stir in the salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce.
    Pour in the broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes.
    Add the cream and simmer another 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
    Use an immersion blender (or transfer carefully to a blender or food processor) and blend until mostly smooth.
    Serve hot with your favorite garnishes — and of course, a golden grilled cheese for dipping.

Tips from the Galley

  • Make it dairy-free: Use olive oil instead of butter and coconut milk instead of cream.
    Prefer a chunkier soup? Just pulse a few times instead of fully blending.
    Turn leftovers into a pasta sauce: Simmer the next day with a touch of Italian seasoning and toss with noodles.
