Nothing better than a hot bowl of roasted garlic tomato soup, served with a side of baked crispy veggies instead of a bread.
Such soup dinner nights are super comfy in terms of effort of cooking. And strengthens my belief in simple, tasty and healthy food.
Its again one of those recipes that fits into your least available prepping time ......
Recipe
4-5 large roma tomatoes
1-3 large red pepper
1 large onion
1 small potato
6-7 peeled garlic cloves
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp dry basil
black pepper to taste
salt to taste
1 tsp of brown sugar
- Preheat oven to 400 deg F. Cut all veggies (except garlic) anyhow you want, larger the better. Its anyways going to be blended so don't bother cutting a lot. Throw in a baking pan
- Put the remaining ingredients - garlic cloves, basil, pepper, oil, salt, sugar.
- Let everything bake for 25 min. Your oven little more hot? No biggie..charred veggies adds onto that smoky flavor.
- Remove from oven and pick and remove those garlic cloves. There job is done, and a well one :)
- Transfer everything in a cooking pot, mix it all well with a hand blender. Saves work right:)
- Add water, yes no need to broth, for desired consistency. Bring to boil and serve hot.
Options to serve
- If you feel you need carbs, serve with your favorite bread, or
- Cut your favorite veggies, throw in the same pan you just now used. Your oven is already preheated. Bake veggies for 25-30 min
