Roasted Tomato and Garlic Soup

"This soup is light in consistency but full of flavor, making it perfect for late summer when tomatoes are at their ripest and best. Charring the tomatoes in the oven gives the soup a wonderful smoky flavor."

directions

  • Cut the tomatoes in half and arrange them, cut side down in a roasting tin. Roast in a preheated oven at 425F for 15 mins or until the skins are charred.
  • Remove the tomatoes from the oven and leave until they are cool enough to handle, then peel off the skins and discard them. Chop the flesh roughly, retaining the juice.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the onion and garlic and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until soft but not colored.
  • Add the stock and tomato flesh and juices and bring to a boil.
  • Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, then add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the soup hot, with a bowl of pesto so everyone can stir in a spoonful if they wish before eating.

  1. I love a good tomato soup and this is one! I had to use half canned tomatoes so I put whole romas (peeled) in with the cut tomatoes and roasted away. Totally deeelish! Great for this cold night!
     
  2. Wow!! So simple and the flavor of roasted tomatoes just makes it! The only thing I screwed up was slicing my tomatoes across the middle rather than end to end and this made the peeling process annoying - still very simple though and I'm looking forward to using this recipe in the summer
