How To Roast Tomatoes:
I used tomatoes straight out of my garden. It seems like they all ripen at the same time and I’m looking for ways to use them up. This tomato basil soup recipe is the perfect solution. Â
To roast tomatoes in the oven, all you need to do is rinse the tomatoes and cut out any blemishes or bruises. I like to toss mine is a little olive oil or avocado oil and then sprinkle the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and any spices that are fitting. The spice blend used in this recipe works great on just about any roasted vegetable mix. Â
As you can notice from the picture, I also added a few onions and carrots. This is a great way to sneak more veggies into my kid’s diet. Squash or sweet potato would be another great option here. Just be sure to stick with the same-ish colors. If you were to add some roasted green vegetables in this soup, your blended soup would turn an orange or brownish color. Your tomato soup will probably taste great but the color won’t be as appetizing. Â
After the roasted vegetables are done, I like to throw mine in the blender. It makes the tomato soup nice and smooth and creamy. There are a lot of great blenders out there but nothing compares to my vita mix blender. They aren’t paying me to say this, I just really really like kitchen appliances that work well!
Dump those hot veggies in there and let ‘er rip. As soon as the soup is nice and smooth, pour it into a pan on the stove and add the rest of your ingredients.
At this point, you will need to do a taste test. If the soup is a little bland, add some salt. Between the herbs and the onions, there should be enough flavor. If you feel like it needs a little something more after the rest of your ingredients have been added, add a little onion powder or garlic powder.Â
