Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion diced finely
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- salt
- black pepper
- 45 ounces tomato 3x14.5oz cans, crushed or diced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
OPTIONAL
- 1/2 cup cream or half n half - or yogurt or sour cream - you choose
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat.
- Cook the onions until they're soft (about 5 minutes), then add the garlic and cook for a further minute or so.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the flour, and mix well - cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning and stock, whisking to blend and thicken.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender - blend until smooth.
- Remove from heat, then add the cream if using (I warm mine to make it less likely to curdle), mixing thoroughly.
- Test for seasoning - add more if needed, then serve.
- Devour.
Notes
- Use diced or crushed peeled tomatoes, it doesn't matter. Fresh tomatoes can also be used!
- Stir some pesto in at the end for a fresh kick!
- A bay leaf, added with the other seasonings and removed before blending will add a savory flavor.
- Fresh basil, oregano, and thyme make fantastic flavors if you have them on hand
- Switch the half n half for heavy cream, sour cream or yogurt, or omit entirely.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to REALLY warm your belly!!
