Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 5 large ripe tomatoes finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 small green bell pepper stem & seeds removed
- 1 small zucchini
- 4 large carrots peeled
- 1 small stick of celery
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1-2 prigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a cooking pot over medium heat. Add the onion and caramelize (cook until golden and completely soft).
- Add the tomatoes and cook until they get completely mushy and drain all their juices. Stir occasionally with a wooden spatula.
- Cut remaining vegetables into large chunks and add to the pot as well.
- Cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once veggies have softened, stir in tomato paste and thyme. Cook for 2 more minutes and then cover with about 2 liters of water.
- Simmer, partially covered for about 1 hour. Or until the water that has remained in the pot, is just enough to slightly cover the vegetables.
- Blend soup using an immersion blender until it gets nice and creamy.
- I love to serve this soup topped with Homemade Garlic Croutons. And sometimes crumbled feta cheese. The combination is to die for!
