Cuisine Homestyle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds Houweling’s Beefsteak Tomatoes, chopped
  • ¼ cup sweet onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 cup basil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place pot over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil and the minced onions. Cook for 2 minutes until onions have softened, add garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for another 2 minutes. Next, add the tomatoes and allow them to sauté for about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, you can make the basil oil which will garnish the soup. Place ¾ cup of basil and ¼ of olive oil in a blender, or food processor and blend for 2 minutes. Strain the oil through a fine mesh sieve and reserve.
  • Once the tomatoes have simmered for 5 minutes, transfer the contents of the pot, along with ¼ cup olive oil and ¼ cup basil, to a blender or food processor and blend on high for 2 minutes. Strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve and serve hot, garnish with the basil oil.
