Recipe Week!


I decided that since we have been so dreary here is SWLA and lots of yucky rain, that today would be a great Soup day. I have the recipe for one of my favorite soups... Roasted Tomato Soup... Yummers!!! This is a fairly easy recipe and most items again will be something that you will find in your pantry. I hope you guys enjoy it. Much Love, Bridget!

Roasted Tomato Soup with Garlic

Ingredients
            3 pounds plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
            8 tablespoons olive oil
            3 tablespoons minced garlic
            1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1 1/4 teaspoons dried
            1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme or 1 1/4 teaspoons dried
            1/4 teaspoon (or more) dried crushed red pepper
            6 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt broth
            6 tablespoons chopped fresh basil


Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place tomatoes, cut side up, on large baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle tomatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Roast until tomatoes are brown and tender, about 1 hour. Cool slightly.

Transfer tomatoes and any accumulated juices to processor. Using on/off turns, process until slightly chunky.

Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, rosemary, thyme and dried crushed red pepper. Add chicken stock; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until soup thickens slightly, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.

Rewarm soup over medium-high heat before continuing.) Stir in basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
