Tomato Soup

Servings: 2 quarts

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup (70 g) olive oil
  • 1 medium (300 g) red onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons (30 g) Kosher salt
  • 10 sprigs (10 g) thyme
  • 13 cloves (47 g) garlic, puréed
  • 4 1/2 pounds (2029 g) canned peeled tomatoes
  • 2 cups (366 g) white wine
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) sherry

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottom pan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Small coffee grinder
  • Vitamix or other blender

Method
 

  1. Place a heavy bottom pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the oil and onions to the pan and cook for 5 - 8 minutes until onions are tender and translucent.
  3. Meanwhile, roughly chop the fresh thyme and place in a small coffee grinder with the salt. Blend until it forms into a salt consistency again (if you don’t have a coffee grinder, you can pick the thyme and roughly chop the leaves).
  4. Add this to the onions and simmer for 3 - 4 minutes.
  5. Add puréed garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 5 - 8 minutes.
  6. Roughly chop the canned tomatoes and add these (including the juice) to the onions. Simmer for 30 minutes.
  7. Add the white wine and sherry. Simmer for 20 minutes.
  8. Pour into a Vitamix or blender and blitz for 10 seconds on high speed.
  9. Serve!
