servings

ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 sprig oregano

  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped

  • Kosher salt

  • 4 cloves garlic, sliced

  • 1 (28-ounce) can San Marzano tomatoes, with their juice

  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock

  • ¾ cup heavy cream

  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves

  • ½ cup Roth Käse Buttermilk Blue Cheese

  • Greek yogurt for garnish

  • Hot sauce

Directions

  • Heat the olive oil in a 4-quart pot over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and a 3-fingered pinch of salt; sweat for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sweat for 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes, their juice and the stock and bring to a simmer. Tie up a sprig of oregano and place it into the soup with the string hanging over the side of the pot. Add the cream, sriracha sauce and oregano leaves and simmer for 10 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove oregano sprig. Pour the soup into a blender, add the blue cheese, and blend until smooth, working in batches if needed. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean pot, taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Reheat to serve.
  • When serving, top with a dollop of Greek yogurt and some extra hot sauce.
