Ingredients

  • 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 15 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 1 red and green bell pepper seeds removed and roughly diced
  • 2 carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 stalk celery chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ chipotle pepper minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 2 oz goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Begin by chopping the vegetables and mincing the garlic.
  • Place a large dutch oven over medium heat. Heat butter and olive oil. When hot and bubbly add chopped onions, peppers, carrots and celery and saute for a couple of minutes. Add the dried herbs, smoked paprika, salt & pepper and continue sauteing for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and tomato paste, stir thoroughly to combine. Add the flour and incorporate well. Cooking for about two minutes to cook out the flour taste.
  • Add the tomatoes, chicken stock and water. Increase the heat to high and stir well until it comes to a boil. The mixture will begin to thicken. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes crumble in the goat cheese and stir until it melts thru.
