Steps:

• After dicing the onion and tomatoes (serrated knife works best) heat butter in a medium pan and saute onion until transparent (about 5 minutes).
• Add tomatoes, chicken broth, 1/3 cup dill, sugar, salt and pepper and bring to boil.
• Lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Serve hot.
• Ladle into soup bowls and top with spoonfull of yogurt.
• Sprinkle with remaining dill.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Slice the onions into thin strips.
• Slice the tomatoes in half.
• Brush the tomatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
• Arrange them on a parchment paper covered baking sheet cut side up.
• Peel all the garlic cloves.
• Place the garlic cloves in the middle of a double layered sheet of aluminum foil that is roughly square.
• Make a cup shape around the cloves and drizzle olive oil over them.
• Wrap the sides up to form a roughly garlic bulb shaped aluminum foil container.
• Heat up 2 Tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
• Place the onions into the pot. Stir it up so that everything's coated in olive oil. Put a lid on the pot but leave it partially open.
• Put the baking sheet with tomatoes and the garlic into the oven and set a timer for 45 minutes.
• Keep an eye on the onions. Stir occasionally, as they turn color, they will reduce significantly.
• We are aiming to caramelize the onions so you will notice that eventually they will be brown in color but not burnt. At this point add the butter. When it's melted stir everything up again. Add red pepper flakes, stir.
• By this point the tomatoes and garlic should be done and out of the oven. They should ideally cool for about 10 minutes. At this point put them into the pot and roughly chop everything with a wooden spatula and stir some more.
• Put the fresh basil in and let it sweat for a bit, then Add the tomato sauce, the chicken stock, and the oregano and stir it up again.
• Add the baking soda. This will reduce the acidity of the soup, but it will foam up for a bit. Keep stirring through the foaming process until it has completed. Hope your pot was big enough.
• When this has been completed, reduce the temperature, and let the soup simmer for as long as you can afford to wait (up to an hour or more). Taste the soup and adjust spices as necessary during this time (consider more pepper, more salt, more oregano, more red pepper as you prefer).
• Finally add the cheese into the soup and stir it until it melts and turns the soup creamy looking.
• Serve by itself or with grilled cheese sandwiches.

Steps:

• Sauté celery, onion and red pepper in butter till soft and slightly caramelized. Add crushed tomatoes and heat through.
• Blend contents with a hand blender, or standard blender until it is the texture you want. We like ours a little chunky.
• Take off the heat and add the whipping cream. If it is too thick add some milk until it is the consistency you want. We like ours thick and hearty.
• Heat through and adjust the salt and pepper.
• Note: If you don't have the McCormick's pepper, just add regular black pepper and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
