How to Make it
This is a small batch of roasted tomato soup. You can easily higher the serving size in the recipe card for larger batches. The oven-roasted tomatoes add a deeper, more concentrated tomato flavor.
- Roast the tomatoes. Preheat oven to 170ºF. Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with foil. Place the tomatoes and garlic on the foil and sprinkle with olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Bake for about 1 hour, or until browned. Let them cool and remove the skin (this will allow the soup to be smoother).
- Cook and process the soup. Place tomatoes and garlic in a pot. Add paprika and vegetable broth and heat until boiling. Remove from heat, let it cool, and process in a blender until soft. Season again with salt and pepper to taste, as well as the agave nectar if using.
- Serve. Serve with toasted bread and fresh thyme.
Serving Suggestions
Want to take your roasted tomato soup to the next level? Consider throwing a slice of cheese in between your pieces of rye bread and grilling it in your skillet! Nothing says comfort food like dipping a golden brown grilled cheese triangle into your soup in between spoonfuls.
Or, you can simply customize the recipe by adding a few secret ingredients of your own. Feeling spicy? Toss in some red pepper flakes for a heat boost. Feeling cheesy? Pull out shredded cheddar or mozzarella and sprinkle some on top for some extra gooey goodness. Fresh basil is another great addition; add it towards the end of cooking the soup for a flavor enhancer.
