2 pounds ripe plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 fennel bulb (8 ounces), stalks removed, ferns reserved
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaves
1. Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil.
2. Scoop the seeds out of the tomatoes and place them skin-side down on prepared baking sheets. Remove the core from the fennel and slice the bulb lengthwise into strips. Place the fennel around the tomatoes. Brush the vegetables with the olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with the sugar, salt, and pepper. Bake for 2 hours.
3. Remove the vegetables to a heavy pot and add the broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Coarsely chop the reserved ferns, stir them into the soup, and cool slightly.
4. Purée the soup in a blender or food processor until just smooth. Return it to the pot and heat through. Stir in the basil and serve immediately.
4 to 6 portions
