tomato soup
WHAT YOU NEED:
Bunch of in season tomatoes
I used brandywine, dark tomatoes, roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes
Onion
Garlic
Salt pepper, thyme, rosemary, basil
Olive oil
Vegetable broth
Big red peppers
Tomato paste
Pat of butter
How to make it:
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees
Prep all your ingredients (as shown to the left). Quarter your larger tomatoes and peppers. Cut the top off the garlic and throw in some basil + thyme. Drizzle w/ olive oil + salt + pepper.
Cover and bake for 30-40 mins.
Once done baking, remove the garlic and squeeze it out of its casing. Throw everything into a blender and blend it up well.
*** After this step I learned that you should put this mixture through a mesh sieve to filter out any stems/seeds/or larger pieces ***
In a pan, add a pat or butter and some tomato paste. Mix up and let simmer.
Pour the mixture in to a sauce pan. Let simmer and add salt/pepper/herbs as needed.
I topped mine off with a drizzle of cream and some fresh basil.
