Spicy Fresh Tomato Soup

I attempted to make spicy tomato sauce out of fresh tomatoes and this soup is the result. We think it is a winner. If you simmer this for an additional 45 minutes, not covered, you will get a thick spicy sauce. This soup tastes great frozen and reheated.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 pounds assorted tomatoes, chopped

  • ½ cup Pinot Grigio wine

  • ½ cup water

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves

  • 3 ounces tomato paste

  • 2 teaspoons white sugar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, wine, water, basil, tomato paste, sugar, pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cover, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes.

  2. Remove from the heat and puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth, or blend in batches in a blender. Return to the heat, stir in Parmesan cheese, and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.
