We love this tomato broth made from fresh tomatoes, bell pepper, and smoked paprika. It’s flavorful and a little smoky, perfect for using as a base for lighter vegetable dishes. We especially love this broth when making our summer vegetable risotto.

Makes 6 cups

You Will Need

8 ounces tomatoes, quartered, 2 medium

1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped

4 cloves garlic, smashed

1 ½ teaspoons fine sea salt

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

4 thyme sprigs

1 bay leaf

6 cups water

Directions

Add quartered tomatoes, bell pepper, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, thyme, bay leaf, and 6 cups of water to a medium saucepan. Cover with a lid, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes, adjusting the heat so that it does not bubble over.

Remove the thyme and bay leaf. Puree the broth using an immersion or regular blender, then strain. Measure the broth and add enough water to bring the liquid up to 6 cups. Store in in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freeze for up to 3 months.
