Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Cut tomatoes in half and put on a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.

    Put enough oil in a large pot to cover the bottom. Add 2/3 of the onion, 1/2 of the garlic, and Italian seasoning; sizzle over low heat for 10 minutes.

    Place roasted tomatoes and chicken stock in a large pot. Mix well and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, cover, and reduce heat to low; cook for 2 to 3 hours.

    Ten minutes before the soup is ready, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in remaining onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add remaining garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minutes. Add spinach and salt; cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
