Souper Broth

Step 1

Give the tomatoes a good rinse and roast them in the oven (400F) for 20 minutes or so. I usually de-stem them knowing that any juices leftover in the roasting pan will go in the blender.

Step 2

Peel and roughly chop an onion. Peel 3 garlic cloves. Saute the onion and garlic in a glug of oil over medium heat. Cook until the onion is starting to brown. I usually just leave the garlic cloves whole.

Step 3

Add the cooked onion-garlic mixture to a blender along the with the roasted tomatoes. Combine well.

Step 4

Return the mixture to the same pan you cooked the onion in and cook for a few minutes over medium heat.

Step 5

Add 4-5 cups of stock and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Combine well and bring it up to temp over medium heat. Salt to taste and serve immediately.
