Tomato Basil Soup

Added red cooking wine to give a more robust flavor and some heavy cream.

Delicious!!!!!!!!!! 😋 ~ 350⁰. Parchment paper on baking sheet — place halved 🍅 cut side up. Drizzle with 2 tbsp 🫒 oil, sprinkle with 🧂 & P. Roast for an hour or until edges just start to shrivel and the insides are still juicy. 2 tbsp 🫒 oil medium heat. 1 diced yellow 🧅, ⅓ c. chopped 🥕, 4 chopped 🧄 cloves, ½ tsp 🧂, cook until soft, ~8 mins. Stir in the 🍅, 3 c. vegetable broth, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp thyme leaves 🌿. Simmer 20 mins. Cool slightly, blend until smooth. Add 1 cup basil🍃 (I normally add some more) and blend again.

Definitely takes longer than you’d think but turns out amazing, I’d add some heavy cream and make sure to cut the carrots up smaller or blend for longer to make it a bit smoother

Add some tomato paste.

Took a lot longer than I expected. Good if you're hanging around the house and have other things to do, hands on time was not too long. Don't be afraid to add more spices if you feel like it needs it. Very yummy! Will make again

Serve with pastina and/or schiacciata. Hubby and I really liked it but kids didn't very much 🥺 I think they're just not used to tomato soup as a thing, because it was fantastic!

Very picky eater approved! Serve with a grilled cheese and a splash of heavy cream for extra creamy goodness

SO GOOD! I WILL ALWAYS WANT TO MAKE IT! Great with grilled cheese!

Though it is simple to make the roasting of the tomatoes do take some time. It is worth it because it is filling but not too heavy. It is tasty due to the thyme and basil. I would definitely do this again.

Definitely will be making this one again. I roasted a red bell pepper along with the tomatoes. Very creamy, quite flavorful! Perfect with our carmelized onion grilled cheese sandwiches. This is one for batch cooking, when you have at least a couple of hours to cook. I don’t have an immersion blender, so I ran this in batches in my Ninja on “ultra blend”—you can’t even tell I didn’t remove the peels from the tomatoes or peppers.
