Roasted Tomato Soup


The weather forecast is rain this weekend so this will be the perfect cozy soup. Yummy and healthy made with simple ingredients. Serve with grilled cheese for the best comfort meal.


The best tomato soup is made with tomatoes, onions and garlic roasted in the oven. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness which adds a ton of flavor.


Adding fresh basil is based on preference or availability. Fresh thyme is another good option.


Once you try this easy recipe, you’ll never want to go back to the canned stuff!
