Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped Coarse salt and ground pepper 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons tomato paste 2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme) 2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth 2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes in juice (with basil if available)
Directions
In a 5-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat; add oil and onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and tomato paste; cook 1 minute.
To saucepan, add thyme, broth, and tomatoes, breaking up tomatoes with your fingers. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, 30 minutes. (Remove thyme sprigs before blending.)
Using an immersion blender, puree soup in pot, leaving a fair amount of the tomatoes in chunks. Or, working in several batches, puree half (5 cups) of the soup in a conventional blender until smooth; return to pot. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/05/2012 I added V8 vegetable juice instead of water or chicken broth. Came out excellent with an easy touch of Italian cheese on top before serving it! Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 10/29/2012 OH, and of course I had to add garlic! That is a flavour I love. So I added 3 cloves of crushed garlic. I added them to the onion, butter and oil. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 10/29/2012 This soup is perfect for a cold, rainy day. I used a can of diced tomatoes and a can of crushed tomatoes, because that's all I had on hand. Surprisingly, the consistency after the simmering process was perfect. I didn't even do any blending at all. I did have to add about a tablespoon of sugar to get rid of the acidity. Served it with some toast with melted cheddar on top and it is a total winner! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/26/2012 I made this soup for my family, and it was delicious! I didn't have any thyme, so I substituted basil and it tasted great. I have a large family, so I actually doubled everything except for the canned tomatoes. We topped our soup with TJ's croutons and a dollop of sour cream. Definitely will be making this again! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/10/2011 This soup is so much better than the canned stuff. I couldn't find the tomato with basil so I added three leaves from my basil plant. The changes were one chopped carrot and one bay leaf that I pulled out before using the submersible blender. There was enough to feed 5 adults and have some left over. I served this with french loaves.Martha Stewart Member
