Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 325 degrees. Now, generously butter an oven-proof baking dish.
-
Place those juicy tomatoes in the dish, ensuring to keep that flavorful juice intact. Add celery, garlic, and a dash of red pepper. Cover it up and let the magic happen in the oven for 25 minutes.
-
While the tomatoes work their magic, let’s sauté the mushrooms and onion. In a large stockpot, dance them around in a batch of butter for about 8 minutes until they’re golden and fragrant.
-
As the veggies sizzle, stir in the flour and sugar gradually. Keep that wrist moving until the mixture achieves a silky smooth consistency.
-
Now, it’s time to introduce the stock, basil, rosemary, and thyme into the pot. Stir, stir, stir until the soup starts to dance with joy and reaches a delightful boil.
-
Uncover the baked tomato pan from the oven and introduce its contents to the pot. Watch as the flavors blend into a symphony of deliciousness. Bring it all to a boil again.
-
Cover up that pot and let the soup simmer in its own perfection for approximately 30 minutes. Your kitchen is about to become the epicenter of tantalizing aromas!
-
While the soup works its magic, let’s create a silky, velvety addition. In a food processor, blend the cream cheese with a pinch of salt and pepper until it becomes a smooth, heavenly concoction.
-
Slowly stir this cream cheese dream into the simmering pot. Watch as it transforms the soup into a rich and creamy masterpiece.
-
To add the finishing touch, garnish your creation with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley. This not only adds a burst of color but also enhances the overall flavor profile.
