I always order half a chicken Caesar salad with a cup of their tomato soup and they know me pretty well there. This is a restaurant recipe and makes 8 gallons!
Ingredients:
10 (1 lb) cans peeled plum tomatoes (1 case)
3 lbs carrots
3 lbs onions
4 tablespoons dry basil
1 cup olive oil
2 gallons water
1 lb chicken base
3 quarts heavy cream
4 tablespoons kosher salt
4 tablespoons black pepper
Directions:
1. In large kettle at med heat, pour 1 cup of olive oil and add roughly chopped onions and carrots.
2. Sauté for 15 minutes, then add the basil, salt, pepper, and tomatoes.
3. Bring to a simmer.
4. Then add the chicken base to the water; whisk to dissolve, and add to kettle.
5. Bring to a boil and continue cooking for 45 minutes.
6. Then using a hand blender, puree soup while adding the heavy cream, to a thin consistency.
7. Reduce heat to a simmer.
