Instructions
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven (or a large pot) over medium heat. Stir until the butter melts. Add the chopped onion and garlic, stirring occasionally for 5 to 8 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add the all-purpose flour and stir to coat the onion and garlic evenly. Then, add the chicken broth, canned whole tomatoes, sugar, and thyme, and season the soup with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and ground black pepper. Bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent the flour from sticking to the bottom.
- Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and discard the thyme. Purée the soup with a blender or food processor until creamy and smooth.
- Mix the crème fraîche with finely chopped fresh chives and dill in a bowl. Whisk well. To serve, add one teaspoon of the cream mixture to each bowl of soup and sprinkle with additional chopped chives, if desired.
Notes
- Recipe Source: Food & Wine
- Tips:
- Continually stir the soup while adding all ingredients to the dutch oven so the flour won't stick to the bottom.
- Let the soup simmer for 20 minutes to get all the flavor from the herbs.
- Cook the soup with low-sodium chicken broth or water and add more salt to taste for serving if desired.
