A cozy, rich tomato soup based on the iconic Marcella Hazan recipe. Butter and onion simmer with San Marzano tomatoes to create a velvety, restaurant-quality result with minimal effort.

Ingredients

• 400 g San Marzano tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Salted butter
• Yellow onion × 1
• 2 g Salt

Method

1. Peel the onion and cut

   

   Peel the onion and cut it into large chunks.

2. Combine tomatoes and onion

   

   In a Dutch oven or other heavy pot with a lid, combine the tomatoes, butter, and onion chunks.

3. Simmer covered

   

   Simmer covered over low heat for 45 minutes — small, lazy bubbles, not a rolling boil — stirring occasionally.

4. Remove Onion

   

   Remove the onion chunks with tongs (you can discard them or keep them for another use).

5. Blend

   

   Blend with an immersion blender until silky smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste.
