Good old fashioned tomato soup with an added smokey flavour. So good on a cold rainy day. Or any day for that matter 🙂
2 cans diced tomatoes with juice (19 oz each)
1 can fire roasted dice tomatoes w/ juice (19 oz)
6 fresh tomatoes
1 onion, diced
1/4 cup red wine (omit if you like)
4 garlic cloves, diced
1/4 cup tomato paste
3 tbsp brown sugar
3 cups water
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
In a large pot bring canned tomatoes with the juice, tomatoes, water, red wine, onion, garlic, tomato paste, sugar and a splash of olive oil to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 45 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow to slightly cool.
Use a hand blender or blender to puree soup until very smooth.
Season with salt and pepper.
Servie into bowls and drizzle with olive oil.
Enjoy
some homemade herby croutons are nice to top with or some fresh basil
