Roasted Tomato Soup
"This is from Tyler's ultimate recipe collection. It is to die for really! My DH hates tomatoes and shelf tomato soup but as he puts it is the bomb! Make sure you use a good variety of tomatoes not just one kind, it really makes the difference and if you like garlic add more cloves I do. But this is the base recipe. If you don't have fresh herbs you can use dry. If you do not like any pieces of tomato skin either remove the skin on the large tomatoes or strain it after finished cooking. Enjoy!"
