Another of my favorite “comfort meals” is Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese…but have you looked at the ingredients for your favorite canned soup recently? SO i had to figure out how to make this myself! In place of the grilled cheese I also made Grain Free Cheddar Bay Biscuits!!
What you will need:
- 2 lbs of ripe tomatoes
- 1 large white onion
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 16 oz of vegetable broth
- 3 sprigs of thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 ball fresh mozzarella
- Salt & Pepper
- Olive Oil
How it’s Done:
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut each tomato into 8 equal parts and place them on the parchment paper, skin side down.
- slice onion, half the garlic cloves and add to cookie sheet
- drizzle with olive oil
- Roast for 40 min
- Transfer roasted vegetables with roasting juices to a large sauce pan and add vegetable broth, thyme & bay leaf. Simmer for 20 min.
- Remove thyme and bay leaf…puree the soup.
- I waited for the mixture to cool then pureed it in my Blendtec
- Then added it back to the sauce pan to re-heat
- Season to taste
- While the soup warms, slice the mozzarella thin
- Serve the soup & add mozzarella on top…enjoy!
