Directions

In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, and garlic and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, broth, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, covered.

Puree the soup in a blender in batches, being careful to remove and discard the bay leaf. Return the soup to a soup pot and keep warm over low heat. Season with salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl fold in the lemon zest and the remaining teaspoon of rosemary to 2/3 cup creme fraiche. To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and dollop each bowl with the lemon rosemary creme fraiche. Serve immediately.

    Okay couple of things I did differently

    1. I use only 1 carrot ( I found that if I use more than 2 or more it over powers the flavor
    2. I use shallots (2 median size instead of whole onion. (shallots have a much rich flavor
    3. I don't use the can of white beans (less calories I found it delicious and more natural.
    4. I put on 2-3 sun-dried tomatoes.

    This was so simple and delicious! I've been searching for an amazing tomato soup recipe, and I finally found it. Personally, I enjoyed the soup on it's own rather than with the creme fraiche. I think the next time I make it I'm going to add some dill and see if that addition makes this soup even better!
