Recipe yields 8 servings
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare an ice-water bath. Using a pairing knife, remove and discard the stem cores from the tomatoes. Using the same knife, cut a shallow “X” at the bottom of each tomato.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place tomatoes in the water, 4 at a time, and remove after the skin begins to split, about 30 to 60 seconds. Immediately place tomatoes in prepared ice-water bath (this prevents the tomatoes from cooking further). Remove the skin using the pairing knife and discard the skin.
Cut the tomatoes into fourths and place in a large blender. Add the remaining ingredients to the blender and blend on high for 3 minutes.
Pour tomato mixture in a 4-quart Dutch oven; heat over medium-high heat until lightly simmering. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or freezer.
