Tomato Basil Soup
A delicious and easy-to-make soup; perfect on its own or with a delicious sandwich for dipping.
Ingredients
- Roast your tomatoes
- ripe roma tomatoes - 3 pounds, cut in half lengthwise
- olive oil - 1/4 cp
- sea salt & cracked black pepper
- Soup base
- olive oil - 2 tbs
- yellow onions - 2 cps chopped
- garlic - 6 cloves, smashed and coursely chopped
- red pepper flakes - 1/4 tsp
- diced tomatoes - 1 large can
- fresh basil leaves - 2 cps, coursely chopped
- thyme - 1 tsp
- low sodium chicken stock - 4 cps
- sea salt - 2 tsp
- ground black pepper - 1/4 tsp
- Add at the end
- frank's red hot sauce - 1 tbs
- plain greek yoghurt, non-fat - 1/2 cp
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degree
- In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes, 1/4 cup of olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread the tomatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet; roast for 45 minutes.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, in a large stockpot, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until the onion starts to brown; add the remainder of the soup base ingredients. Simmer uncovered.
- Add the roasted tomatoes from the oven, including the juices from the pan; simmer (uncovered) on low for 40 minutes.
- Once the soup has finished, use a small hand blender to puree the soup. Be careful! It is possible for the hot soup to splatter. Take your time. If you have to lift the blender out of the soup, stop blending first.
- Add the pureed soup back to the pot and add the remaining ingredients, adjusting the sea salt if necessary to your taste. Serve on its own, or with a pumpernickle grilled cheese, as shown

In fact, it may be a little generous at times, or ingredients may be different based on what we like to eat. It's meant to be a guide.
