Aaron McCargo's Funked Out Tomato Soup

I have tried a couple of Aaron McCargo's recipes and they have been amazing.  I think I have Pot Pie Soup posted here.  Here is a spin on tomato soup.  I am going to work on several tomato soup recipes this winter.  It's an easy, low calorie way to get in veggies!


3/4 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 Vidalia onion, sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
4 large tomatoes, sliced
Red pepper flakes
Cracked black pepper
Kosher salt
1 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon ground chicken bouillon
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

Directions

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil.  Stir in the onion, garlic, tomatoes, red pepper flakes, black pepper and salt, to taste. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes. Add the chicken stock and chicken bouillon and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Stir in the sherry at the last minute and remove from the heat. Allow to cool before adding it to a blender. Puree until smooth and return to the pot, over low heat, to keep warm until ready to serve.
