This is a nice and cheap soup, and really easy. Great novice soup recipe (I'm looking at you, Alice!) I love Barbara Lynch and saw the recipe on Food52 and had to try it. Yum! It's very simple but really nice, especially with a gooey grilled cheese.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 big tsp red pepper flakes (or more or less, depending how spicy you want it)
1 1/2 cups water
2 28oz cans whole tomatoes with their juices
salt and pepper
big handfull of basil
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a heavy bottomed soup/pasta pot. Add onions and red pepper flakes and saute over medium heat until soft (about 10 minutes).
Add tomatoes and bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes.
Keep track of any sleeping dogs on the floor and try not to step on them.
It should thicken up a bit.
Turn off the heat, add the basil, season with salt and pepper, and let it cool 5 minutes.
Either blend it in the pot with an immersion blender, or transfer to a food processor. Add water if you want to thin it a bit.
Pour through a fine mesh sieve, pushing through and then discarding solids.
Return to the pot and warm up. Season again with salt and pepper.
Serve with grilled cheese.
