Description

Ingredients

For Roasted Herb Tomatoes + Garlic:
3-4 lbs ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
2 garlic bulbs
For the Soup:
½ onion, chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ cups heavy cream
2 cups vegetable stock
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon sea salt (plus more to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon dried thyme
Optional:
Grilled cheese sandwich, for serving

Instructions

1. Roast the Tomatoes and Garlic: For deliciously roasted tomatoes and garlic, follow a similar method to herb-roasted tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and slice off the tops of the garlic bulbs. Roast both at 400°F for about 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.
2. Blend the Soup: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the sautéed onions to a blender along with the roasted tomatoes, squeezed garlic cloves from the roasted bulbs, tomato paste, and vegetable stock. Blend on high until smooth.
3. Make the Soup: Return the blended tomato mixture to the same pot over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, oregano, basil, parsley, red pepper flakes, and thyme. Let it come to a boil for 1-2 minutes, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 5-6 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken.
4. Serve: Once the soup has thickened, remove it from heat and ladle it into bowls. Garnish with roasted tomato wedges and serve with a side of grilled cheese if desired.
Enjoy this comforting and creamy roasted tomato soup!
