TOMATO BASIL SOUP TO WARM YOU UP ON A COLD-COLD NIGHT

For the caramelized onions:

For the soup:

dried oregano – 1/2 tsp 
vegetable broth- 2-3 cups ( depending on the consistency you desire)
salt and pepper, to taste


STEPS :


Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place halved tomatoes and garlic cloves on the baking sheet and drizzle over 3 tbsp of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes.


While the tomatoes are roasting, you can make the caramelized onions: Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to an open pan and place over medium heat. Add the onion slices, cook, stirring occasionally. Check onions every 5-10 minutes until they have completely caramelized and turned golden in color. This usually takes about 15 minutes, when done on a medium flame. 


Once tomatoes and garlic are done roasting, allow them to cool them, before putting them in a blender/food processor . Puree it into a smooth paste, add basil and caramelized onions and blend again. 


After blending, transfer back to pot, turn to medium low heat and add in oregano, vegetable broth, salt and pepper to taste. From there you can add in any additional add-ons like cheese, butter or cream, as per your taste and preference.  Allow tomato soup to simmer 10 minutes before serving.


To serve, garnish with whipped cream, basil leaves and serve with grilled cheese/garlic bread, as per your preference.
