Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Wash, core and cut the tomatoes into halves. Spread the tomatoes, garlic cloves and onions onto a baking tray. If using vine cherry tomatoes for garnish, add them as well, leaving them whole and on the vine. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, or until caramelized.
- Remove roasted tomatoes, garlic and onion from the oven and transfer to a large stock pot (set aside the roasted vine tomatoes for later). Add 3/4 of the chicken stock, bay leaves, and butter. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until liquid has reduced by a third.
- Wash and dry basil leaves, if using, and add to the pot. Remove the bay leaves before using an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Return soup to low heat, add cream and adjust consistency with remaining chicken stock, if necessary. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish in bowl with 3 or 4 roasted vine cherry tomatoes and a splash of heavy cream.
ROASTED TOMATO SOUP (SOUTH BEACH DIET PHASE 2)
From newest book. Haven't tried. This rich, rustic flavor of this soup comes from slow-roasting the tomatoes (you can do other things while they are in the oven). If you like a little sweetness, add a touch of sugar substitute when you adjust your seasonings. If you're on phases 2 or 3, add whole wheat tortellini for a satisfying entree.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425.
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper. Arrange the tomatos, cut side up, on the pan. Scatter onion and garlic in a single layer around tomatoes. Sprinkle tomatoes, onion, garlic, with basil, oregano, salt and pepper to taste; drizzle with oil. Bake on the middle of the rack of the oven until tomatoes are golden on the bottoms and start to collapse, about 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven and carefully transfer the contents of the pan to a blender. Add 1/2 cup broth and puree until smooth.
- Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup of broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove pan from heat and season soup with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Select the ripest tomatoes: Use tomatoes that are fully ripe and have a deep red color. This will ensure the soup has a rich and flavorful taste.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and intensifies their flavor. Roast them until they are slightly charred and caramelized.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to the soup. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
- Simmer the soup: Simmering the soup allows the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some good toppings for roasted tomato soup include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh basil, or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
Roasted tomato soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its rich and flavorful taste, roasted tomato soup is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
