It was raining all day yesterday, so knowing I was going to be off work today, I prepared to make soup...but wouldn't you know it? It ended up being sunny and 80+ degrees today. Still, I was determined to enjoy some home made soup.
I decided on Roasted Tomato and Garlic Basil. Served up with it's natural companion, a grilled cheese. (I promised I wouldn't post about Daiya anymore, so let's just concentrate on that soup, 'kay?)

To make the soup, I preheated my oven to 350 degrees F. I sliced about 10 roma tomatoes in half and placed them cut side up in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat. I liberally drizzled olive oil all over them and then sprinkled on about 2 tablepoons of dried basil, and salt and pepper. I also added about 12 whole cloves of garlic to the mix, and baked them, uncovered, for about 40 minutes. I transferred the roasted tomatoes and garlic to a pot along with any of the remaining oil left on the Silpat. I added 1 cup of veggie broth and 1, 14 ounce can of diced tomatoes along with their juice to the pot. I brought it all to a boil, reduced it to a simmer, and simmered for about 10 minutes. I used my immersion blender to puree the whole pot and it was done!

That is the perfect comfort meal in my opinion. Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches are meant to be together. Looks so good!
I love this kind of soup too! So much so that when tomatoes were plentiful a few weeks ago, I roasted several batches and put them in the freezer for later in the winter.
A classic combo, it looks awesome! Yum!
I hate it when the weather decides to change on me after I've decided on a warm comforting dinner! This soup looks fantastic though, no matter what the weather!
Roasted tomato and garlic soup is one of my very favorite things, I am inspired to make a vat of it tomorrow. Your blog makes me wish I was vegan! :)
