Paradise Bakery Fire Roasted Tomato Soup

Girls, you know how much I love that Fire Roasted Tomato Soup from Paradise Bakery and this did not disappoint. It was very easy too. Here is what you need:

2 medium onions, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
28 oz can San Marzano whole tomatoes (I couldn't find this brand, but the generic worked fine)
14 oz can Muir Glen fire roasted diced tomatoes (I found this at Wal-Mart)
8 oz can tomato sauce
6 oz can tomato paste
4 cups water (chicken stock) (Jen, the woman I stole this from, said she might try chicken stock to make a deeper flavor, I did about 1/2 water 1/2 chicken stock which was great, but I think all water would be just fine too.)
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups milk

  1. Start by sauteing the onions in olive oil until they are translucent then add in the garlic.
  2. Stir in the tomatoes and water and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for 30 min.
  3. Use an immersion blender, food processor, etc. to puree this mixture. Make it as chunky or smooth as you like.
  4. Put your puree back in the pot and add the milk and seasonings. Um, um good!

Mine did not end up as smooth as Paradise Bakery's, but it was still so delicious. It makes a lot, but we had no problem finishing the whole pot after a few days.
