Serving Size 6

Ingredients

  • 1 4.4 oz Package of Danish Bleu As seen in the photo
  • 1 Large Carrot chopped
  • 1 Celery Stalk chopped
  • 1 Small Onion chopped
  • 1 - 28 oz Can of whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 - 6 oz Can of tomato paste
  • 1 Cup of Heavy Cream
  • 4 Cups of Chicken Stock
  • 3 Tablespoons of Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons of AP Flour
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Thyme
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Basil
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of minced Garlic
  • Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper to Taste

Instructions

  • In a large pan on medium heat, add butter until melted. Once melted add garlic and stir around until garlic turns a golden color.
  • Add chopped vegetables and 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Cover and cook for approximately 8 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
  • Add flour, and stir with whisk to mix well.
  • Then add in your canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and broth. Bring to a boil, and whisk constnatly while doing so. Once brought to a boil, turn heat on low and add basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cover for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool for approximately 10 minutes.
  • You'll have to work this part in batches: With a large blender on hand, slowly (as to not burn yourself) fill the your blender, cover with the lid, and puree it away! You can use a sieve or colander to help strain out any excess skin and help with a smooth & creamy consistency.
  • Once it's sieved, place in another pot.
  • Once you have strained all of the contents of the pot, place in a different pot on a medium heat. From there, you will whisk in your heavy cream and 90% of the Danish Bleu. I saved a little extra to the side for garnishment.
  • Serve in your favorite bowl, and you're good to go!
