Tips:

1. Roast with Care:
   • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet when roasting the vegetables. Give them enough space to roast evenly and caramelize nicely. If necessary, use two baking sheets.
2. Taste as You Go:
   • Always taste the soup as you adjust the seasoning. You may want more salt, pepper, or herbs based on your personal preference.
3. Add a Hint of Sweetness:
   • If your tomatoes are a bit acidic, you can balance the flavors by adding a pinch of sugar or honey while blending.

Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  

• 6 ripe tomatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 garlic bulbs
• 1-1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried basil or more to taste
• 2 tbsp Sour cream low fat
• Fresh herbs

Instructions

 

• Preheat the Oven:
• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Prepare the Vegetables:
• Tomatoes: Wash the tomatoes and cut them in quarters.
• Onion: Peel and chop the onion into quarters.
• Red Bell Pepper: Remove the seeds and stem, then slice the red bell pepper into chunks.
• Garlic: Cut whole bulbs in halves and don't peel.
• On a large baking sheet, arrange the tomatoes, onion, red bell pepper, and garlic.
• Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and dried basil.
• Roast in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the vegetables are caramelized and tender.
• After roasting, let the vegetables cool for a few minutes. Transfer them to a blender along with the broth. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can blend in pulses or set aside some roasted vegetables before blending.
• Pour the blended soup into a pot. Heat over medium-low heat. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and more dried basil if desired. Allow the soup to simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
• Ladle the creamy roasted tomato soup into bowls. If desired, top with sour cream, croutons, olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
• Serve with a grilled cheese sandwich for a perfect meal!
