Delicious tomato basil soup that doubles as a sauce, made from fresh tomatoes, basil and garlic
Ingredients
- 15 Medium-Size Tomatoes
- 1 Cup Fresh Basil
- 1 Garlic Head
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Salt (or more to taste)
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
- Tomato paste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 420° F.
- Cut the tomatoes and onions. Add them to a baking tray with the basil and sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Cut the top off the head of garlic, place it on a small piece of foil, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the foil tightly around the garlic and set it on the corner of the baking tray.
- Bake for about 40 minutes until the tomatoes are crispy and juicy.
- Add all the ingredients to a blender. Gently squeeze the garlic out the soft, roasted cloves from their skins before adding them in. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture into a large pot. Add smooth crushed tomatoes if you like if you want a deep, classic tomato-soup color.
- Season with salt and pepper, serve it with garlic bread or with a sprinkle of cheese and enjoy!
