Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

Serving
4

Ingredients

1 cup croutons

3 cups chicken or vegetable stock

15 basil leaves, roughly chopped

1 yellow onion, roughly chopped

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

1 head garlic, cut in half

15 medium sized tomatoes, cut in half

Step by step

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. Place the tomatoes and halved garlic on a parchment lined baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Transfer the baking sheet into the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes. Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and set aside. Carefully remove the garlic from its paper and discard the paper.

  3. In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the roasted tomatoes and garlic along with all of the juice and seasoning on the baking sheet and stir to combine. Sauté for 3-4 minutes more, until the onions are soft.

  4. Add the basil, stock and croutons and simmer, without a lid, for 20 minutes. Once simmered, let the mixture cool slightly. Use your KitchenAid® Pro Line® Series 5-Speed Cordless Hand Blender and blend everything together until pureed. (Note – a few basil leaves can remain intact). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  5. Serve or freeze as needed.
