Fall Roasted Tomato Soup



This makes the perfect soup for a cool Fall evening dinner and uses up those last few tomatoes in the garden before the frost hits!

This recipe is adapted from a guest post on That Skinny Chick Can Bake blog!  The soup is absolutely delicious and so satisfying.

Serve it with the Dutch Oven No Knead Bread and voila - you have some great comfort food after a couple of whirlwind weeks before and after a special wedding!!!!



Here is the recipe:

2 - 2 1/2 lbs. fresh tomatoes - peeled and quartered
1 yellow onion - quartered
1 jalapeno pepper - seeded and halved - I used a Habenaro pepper
4 cloves garlic
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano - I also added a few sprigs of fresh oregano and some fresh parsley from my herb garden
sea salt to taste
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
4 Cups chicken stock - I used Organic Chicken Stock
Fresh Basil - chopped to garnish
Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese to garnish



Place prepared vegetables in a glass baking dish, season, drizzle with olive oil and roast in a preheated to 450 degree oven for 30 - 35 minutes, till vegetables look caramelized.


Add roasted veggies to a stock pot, add the chicken stock and simmer for 20 minutes.  Taste and adjust seasoning.

Cool slightly and puree mixture in the blender (blending 1/2 at a time).  Use your immersion blender if you are lucky enough to have one (I have to remember to put this on my Christmas wish list!).

Serve with grated Parmesan Cheese and a garnish of chopped fresh Basil.

The farmer wasn't home for supper so I refrigerated the soup overnight and served it the next evening with the fresh baked bread.  Ultimate comfort food!!!!

Thanks Lizzy for this link!  Be sure to check out her blog - it's always packed with goodness......



Till next time.........enjoy the Golden Days of Fall!!!!

  3. Mom taught me how to make homemade tomato soup but it is just made on top of the stove. I need to try your recipe. It sounds delicious! Where is the recipe for the bread? Laura

    1. Hi Laura - if you click on the red words that read "Dutch Oven No Knead Bread" in the above post - the blog post where that recipe is on will appear - hopefully :). Let me know if it doesn't work for you. BTW the secret for this recipe is - don't skimp on the garlic - it is what really makes the flavour yummy!

  4. looks like a perfect soup. I just finished canning my salsa...and I have enough tomatoes left for this recipe.
    I loved your burlap runners on your previous post and those wooden slats. My daughter looked at all of those, but I told her my machine would not be able to work with that...so we used a similar color in burlap. So much fun.
