Roasted Tomato Basil Soup (for dummies)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Use an 11×17″ baking sheet. Fill it with tomatoes that are cored and halved. I use a combo of Roma and red ripe ones (about 2.5 lbs).

Slice 2 small yellow onions and cover the tomatoes. Next, sprinkle 6 cloves of chopped garlic on top, 1/2 cup of olive oil, and salt/pepper to taste.

Roast at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.

Dump the roasted mixture into a big stock pot, including any liquids on the baking sheet. To this add: 3 cups of chicken broth (I use Knorr in the little cups), and 1/2 stick unsalted butter. Simmer 20 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves and puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Alternative method: puree in food processor. Then add 3/4 cup heaving whipping cream and stir. D O N E
