Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the virgin olive oil in a 3-quart heavy stock pot over low heat.
  2. Add the peeled and roughly diced onion and cook slowly without browning for about 7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the plum tomatoes, dry white wine, and chopped fresh herbs (basil, oregano, thyme, and marjoram).
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  6. Cover the pot and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes with a wooden spoon as they soften.
  7. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, reserving the liquid.
  8. Place the cooked tomatoes in a blender or food processor and puree until very smooth.
  9. Return the puree to the pot and stir in the reserved liquid.
  10. Pass the soup through a strainer again to remove any remaining skins and seeds for a silky texture.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
