Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Step 2

Place tomatoes, shallots, fennel, and garlic in a large baking dish. Add chicken fat and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Roast for 45-50 minutes until veggies are deeply golden and soft.

Step 4

Once roasted, transfer veggies, along with juices, to a medium pot. Squeeze out garlic into the pot as well (careful the garlic will be very hot!)**

Step 5

Cover with chicken stock and add in bay leaf and paprika.

Step 6

Bring to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove bay leaf and blend until smooth. Return soup to the pot over low heat.

Step 8

Stir in cream. Add additional chicken stock, if needed, to reach desired consistency.

Step 9

Season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with olive oil, thinned sour cream, black pepper, and fennel fronds. I love a furikake gouda grilled cheese on the side as well :) **
