Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 3 shallots minced
- 2 ½ - 3 lbs fresh tomatoes cored and chopped
- salt and pepper
- pesto and fresh basil for serving optional
Instructions
- Warm the butter or olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add in the shallots and cook, stirring often, until they are translucent and beginning to caramelize, 6-8 minutes. Then, add in the chopped tomatoes and cover until the juices begin to simmer. If tomatoes seem dry, you may need to add 1 cup of water or stock. Reduce heat to medium-low, and allow to cook for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat allow to cool.
- Working in batches with a blender, blend the soup to a smooth consistency. Warm and enjoy, or freeze in an airtight container. Serve with pesto and fresh basil if desired.
