Ingredients
- 7-10 Tomatoes, chopped
- 2-3 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4-5 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh or dried herbs (such as thyme, basil, or oregano)
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
Instructions
- Roast the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a baking sheet, combine the cherry tomatoes, carrots, red bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Blend the Soup: Once roasted, let the vegetables cool slightly. Carefully remove the garlic cloves from their skins. In a blender, combine the roasted vegetables with the stock. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, feel free to add more stock to reach your desired consistency.
- Simmer: Pour the blended mixture into a stockpot and heat over medium-low heat. Allow the soup to simmer for about 10-15 minutes to meld the flavors together. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve: Ladle the warm roasted tomato soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a dollop of cream if desired. Enjoy it with your favorite crusty bread or a classic grilled cheese sandwich for the ultimate comfort meal!
- This roasted tomato soup is not only simple to prepare but also a fantastic way to enjoy the fresh flavors of seasonal vegetables. Perfect for meal prep or a cozy weeknight dinner, it's a delicious and healthy addition to your recipe collection. Enjoy!
