Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • dutch oven / pot
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Roma or Plum Tomatoes cut in half
  • 1-2 Red Bell Peppers
  • 8 cloves Garlic peeled
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Fresh Ground Salt & Pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Yellow Onions thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Basil leaves
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano or fresh Rosemary
  • 1-2 cups Water or Broth
  • Fresh Ground Salt & Pepper

Optional add-ins

  • 3 tbsp Coconut milk Whole dairy milk, heavy whipping cream
  • Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place halved tomatoes, quartered red bell peppers and garlic cloves on the baking sheet and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Generously season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are roasting, you can make the caramelized onions: Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to a large pot and place over medium heat. Add the onion slices and stir to coat the onions with olive oil. Cook, stirring occasionally. Check onions every 5-10 minutes until they have completely caramelized and turned golden in color. This usually takes 20 minutes.
  • Once tomatoes, bell peppers and garlic are done roasting, allow them to cool for 10 minutes, then add them to a food processor or high powered blender and blend until smooth. Next add basil and caramelized onions and blend again. Alternatively, you can add the tomatoes to the large pot and use an immersion blender. It's really just about what you have available to you.
  • After blending, transfer back to pot, turn to medium low heat and add in oregano or Rosemary, vegetarian broth and salt and pepper to taste. From there you can add in any additional add-ons you want (as listed in the ingredients). Allow tomato soup to simmer 10 minutes before serving. To serve, garnish with parmesan cheese and serve with grilled cheese, if desired.
