Ingredients for Roasted Tomato Soup

• 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, trimmed and quartered

• 1 red bell pepper, diced (1”)

• 1 onion, diced (1”)

• 1 bulb of fresh garlic, halved

• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon of The Spice Apothecary’s A Taste of Tuscany blend

• 3 tablespoons tomato paste

• 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

  
  

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the tomatoes by trimming and quartering them. Cut the red bell pepper and onion into 1-inch chunks. Halve the garlic bulb crosswise.

3. Drizzle the vegetables with 1/4 cup of olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper, and brown sugar. Toss everything until well coated and arrange it in an even layer on the baking sheet.

4. Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes to an hour. Let the vegetables cool slightly afterward. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and discard the peels.

5. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the 3 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook while stirring for about 2 minutes.

6. Add the roasted vegetables, including any juices from the baking sheet. Sprinkle with A Taste of Tuscany. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

7. Pour in 2 cups of broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.

8. Carefully remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If using a traditional blender, you may have to blend in batches.

9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.

10. Serve the soup topped with fresh basil and a drizzle of good quality extra virgin olive oil, like our Santa Ynez Olive Oil. Enjoy!

Enjoy every comforting bite!
