Ingredients

  • 8 tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 1 zucchini, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon curry powder

  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped

  • 3 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 1 cup chopped fresh basil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Arrange tomatoes on a baking sheet; drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add garlic and 3 sprigs chopped thyme; toss. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. Bake in preheated oven until very tender and browned, about 2 hours.

  4. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, and zucchini until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in red pepper flakes, paprika, and curry powder. Season with salt and black pepper and add remaining 3 sprigs chopped thyme. Stir in roasted tomatoes along with any liquid from the baking sheet. Cook and stir for 5 more minutes; pour chicken broth into tomato mixture. Simmer for 20 minutes.

  5. Blend with an emersion blender until desired consistency. Stir in cream and basil before serving.

Editor's Note:

Instead of an immersion blender, pour soup into a standard blender no more than half-full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth.
