ROASTED TOMATO SOUP WITH PARMESAN CROUTONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Measure out 2 tablespoons of the reserved tomato juice and olive oil mixture from the Meal Prep Roasted Tomatoes. Place the bread on a rimmed baking sheet along with the leaves from 1 sprig of the reserved roasted rosemary and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with the reserved tomato-oil mixture and toss. Spread the bread out evenly and bake until brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Immediately toss with the Parmesan; the residual heat will melt the Parmesan to the croutons. Set aside.
• While the croutons bake, remove and reserve the roasted garlic and remaining rosemary sprigs from the roasted tomatoes. Add the tomatoes with the remaining tomato juice and olive oil mixture to a blender with the leaves from the reserved rosemary sprigs. Set aside.
• Set a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Mince the reserved garlic. When the oil is hot, add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots soften and just begin to brown, 2 to 3 minutes; season with a pinch of salt. Transfer the mixture to the blender and blend on high speed until smooth.
• Pour the tomato mixture back into the saucepan and stir in the stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes. Season the soup with 2 teaspoons salt. Stir in the cream, reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the lemon juice and add more salt to taste. At this point, you can cool the soup completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 to 3 months.
• When ready to serve, ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with the croutons, pepper and torn basil leaves.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss together the tomatoes, olive oil, rosemary sprigs, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until everything is evenly coated. Divide between 2 rimmed baking sheets and bake until the garlic begins to brown and the tomatoes just begin to burst, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Transfer the tomatoes, garlic, rosemary sprigs and tomato juice-olive oil mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 4 days. Use these tomatoes to make soup, serve with eggs for breakfast, add to sandwiches or make into a pasta sauce for dinner.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Remove hard ends of asparagus. Preferably this is done by grabbing each end of your asparagus and bending it until it breaks. It should naturally break where it's tough.
• Boil asparagus ends (normally they'd be tossed) and potatoes in vegetable stock and water as necessary to cover everything until potatoes are nearly done, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove tips of half of your asparagus. Toss all asparagus (and tips) in olive oil and all seasonings, and broil on high for 20 minutes, tossing regularly to prevent burning. Remove when some browning all over. If you think you've overdone it, just taste one before throwing. The asparagus carmelizes fast and may look burned when it's still fine. Firmness will vary with thickness of asparagus.
• Remove potatoes and asparagus ends from liquid. Toss asparagus ends. Add roasted asparagus, but reserve tips. Peel potatoes and chunk before adding back to pot. Chunk up potatoes to make blending easier.
• Continue to boil at high for 5 minutes or until potatoes are fully cooked.
• Blend in batches or with wand blender.
• Return to heat, add half of asparagus tips and let cook for another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add water if too thick.
• Remove from heat, and add cheese. If using a microplane to grate your hard cheese, use about 1 cup of loosely packed cheese.
• Serve with a few asparagus tips added to top of each serving.
