Ingredients

    3 lbs. Red Ripe Tomatoes
    Olive Oil Cooking Spray
    1 1/2 tsp. ground pepper
    2 tsp. kosher salt
    2 tb. olive oil
    1 cup onion
    6 garlic cloves (minced)
    1- 28 oz. can of tomatoes
    4 cups FRESH basil (I find it is OK if you only have 1 or 2 cups, the more the better though)
    1 quart (4 cups) chicken stock

    CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS WITH DRIED BASIL!! ONLY FRESH WILL WORK WITH THIS RECIPE!!!

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a large cooking sheet pan with olive oil spray. Cut tomatoes into wedges Add salt and pepper and roast for 45 minutes.

In 8 quart stock pot on medium, saute 2 tb. olive oil, onion and garlic until brown. Then, add canned tomatoes, basil and stock. When roasted tomatoes are done, add them, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce temp and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes.

Pulse in food processor in batches. Add salt and sugar substitute (like splenda or purvia) to taste. I usually don't need salt but I do need to add 1-2 heaping tablespoons of splenda. How much you need depends on how sweet your tomatoes are.

    This is Ina Garten's recipe minus 1/4 C olive oil and 2 TBLS of butter..... Very good though I make Ina's recipe often especially in the summer with my fresh basil minus those ingredients also - 1/18/15

    Very good even with canned tomatoes. I made it because I had over purchased fresh basil and didn't want to waste it. Very tasty soup and healthy, too!! - 1/14/14
