Roasted Heirloom Tomato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a stockpot, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add the tomatoes, carrot, corn, basil and salt., Stir in broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tomatoes are softened, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly., In a food processor, process soup in batches until smooth. Return all to pan and heat through. Ladle into bowls; drizzle each serving with 3/4 teaspoon cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the tomatoes cut-side up in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the sugar. Scatter the thyme sprigs over the tomatoes. Roast until the tomatoes are wrinkled and soft, about 1 hour. Let cool until cool enough to handle. Discard the thyme sprigs. Gently peel off and discard the tomato skins.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and cook until the onions start to lightly brown around the edges, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, vegetable stock and bay leaf and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the cream and chopped basil and simmer for 5 more minutes. Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Season to taste with about 2 teaspoons salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
• When ready to serve, top with a drizzle of chile-infused oil and garnish with some basil leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Wash, core and cut the tomatoes into halves. Spread the tomatoes, garlic cloves and onions onto a baking tray. If using vine cherry tomatoes for garnish, add them as well, leaving them whole and on the vine. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, or until caramelized.
• Remove roasted tomatoes, garlic and onion from the oven and transfer to a large stock pot (set aside the roasted vine tomatoes for later). Add 3/4 of the chicken stock, bay leaves, and butter. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until liquid has reduced by a third.
• Wash and dry basil leaves, if using, and add to the pot. Remove the bay leaves before using an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Return soup to low heat, add cream and adjust consistency with remaining chicken stock, if necessary. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish in bowl with 3 or 4 roasted vine cherry tomatoes and a splash of heavy cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Cut tomatoes in half and put on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Put enough oil in a large pot to cover the bottom. Add 2/3 of the onion, 1/2 of the garlic, and Italian seasoning; sizzle over low heat for 10 minutes.
• Place roasted tomatoes and chicken stock in a large pot. Mix well and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, cover, and reduce heat to low; cook for 2 to 3 hours.
• Ten minutes before the soup is ready, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in remaining onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add remaining garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minutes. Add spinach and salt; cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
