Tomato soup with mascarpone
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 tablespoons olive oil1 medium yellow onion, diced (about ¾ cup chopped)1 medium carrot, peeled and diced (about ½ cup chopped)3 cloves garlic, minced1 tablespoon fresh chopped oregano1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)¼ cup white wine5 ripe medium tomatoes* (about 2 pounds), cored and roughly chopped1 teaspoon granulated sugar¼ cup mascarpone cheese**
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and carrot and sauté until translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, herbs and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste and stir until all the vegetables are evenly coated. Add the white wine and cook for about a minute or until the liquid is mostly evaporated, stirring to incorporate any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add tomatoes and their juices along with the sugar and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes or until tomatoes are soft and just beginning to break down. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Transfer to a blender or food processor (working in batches if necessary, and be careful when blending hot foods!) and puree until smooth. Return to saucepan set over medium-low heat until heated through; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add mascarpone and stir until smooth and serve warm with crusty bread.
