Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 small carrots, peeled and chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Three 14-ounce cans cherry tomatoes
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
One 3-inch Parmesan rind
1 sprig fresh basil
1/3 cup mascarpone, at room temperature
6 pieces cooked bacon, crumbled

Steps:

  • Heat a 3-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the carrots, celery, onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir with a wooden spoon and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and chicken stock and stir to combine. Nestle the Parmesan rind and basil in the soup and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring often to prevent the rind from sticking to the bottom of the pan, for about 25 minutes.
  • Remove the basil and Parmesan rind and discard. Stir in the mascarpone, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Puree the soup until smooth with a stick blender. Serve topped with crumbled bacon.
