Nutritious home soups -hmmmm!

Oh. Well, my partner made up this recipe and I took it on later.

So forgive imprecise measurements, but use your tastebuds:

Roasted Tomato Soup
4-6 medium size ripe tomatoes. Cut up into large chunks
1/2 large onion (red onion is better. But any will do) Chopped in narrow slices.
4-5 garlic bulbs
Optional: Half red pepper or more, cut roughly in 2-inch slices.


Oil a large glass baking dish generously. Lay all veggies in dish so that they are packed in 1 layer. Not double.

Bake in 425 degree F pre-heated oven. About 50 min. or more. Tomatoes will soften nice and soft, juicy.

During tomatoes roast-baking inside oven, make a simple veggie stock by boiling 3 cups of water or more. Put in veggie powder stock ( 1-2 heaping tablespoons.) Set aside.

When tomatoes are finished roasting, take out and pour into another deep container to mash up or use immersion hand blender.

Pour mashed up or pureed tomato mixture into a deep pot. Add veggie consomme. Stir and heat at medium heat for about 10 min. or so.

Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve. (Makes 2-3 large bowls of soup.)
