Vegetables
- 3–4 lbs. ripe organic tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 2 garlic bulbs
- 1/2 onion, chopped
Liquids & Oils
- 1 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups organic heavy cream
- 2 cups organic vegetable stock
Seasonings
- 4 Tbsps tomato paste, organic
- 1 tsp sea salt (plus more to taste)
- 1 tsp On Everything All-Purpose Blend
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Serving Suggestion
- Roast Tomatoes and Garlic: Follow the herb roasted tomatoes method to roast 3-4 lbs. of tomatoes and 2 whole garlic bulbs until caramelized and fragrant. This roasting enhances the natural sweetness and adds depth to the soup.
- Sauté Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a medium dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chopped half onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Blend Soup Base: Transfer the sautéed onions to a high-powered blender. Add the roasted tomatoes, squeeze out the softened roasted garlic from the bulb into the blender, 4 tablespoons of organic tomato paste, and 2 cups of organic vegetable stock. Blend on high speed until completely smooth. Reserve some roasted tomatoes for garnish, if desired.
- Combine and Cook Soup: Return the blended mixture to the same dutch oven. Stir in 1 1/2 cups organic heavy cream, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon On Everything All-Purpose Blend, and 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Heat over medium-high until the soup comes to a boil, about 1-2 minutes.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 5-6 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken.
- Serve: Remove from heat. Ladle the creamy roasted garlic tomato soup into bowls, garnish with reserved roasted tomatoes, and serve immediately. Pair with a grilled cheese sandwich for a perfect comfort meal.
- Enjoy: Sit back and savor the creamy, rich flavors of this homemade soup!
