I love tomato soup. I have tried making many versions at home. This recipe is one of the most simple and delicious tomato soups I have ever made. Putting the tomatoes and onions under the broiler brings out a delicious flavour that adds a smokiness to the final soup. This is a great way to use up tomatoes from your garden. Enjoy it cold topped with Greek yogurt or sour cream, or hot with a grilled cheese on the side. It is also the perfect appetizer when entertaining this summer. So what are you waiting for? Go plant your tomato plants if you haven't already!
Ingredients:
Preheat broiler. Place tomatoes and onions on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything well so tomatoes and onions are covered in oil. Arrange tomatoes so they are skin side up.
Place under broiler for 15-20 minutes or until tomato skins are blackened. Rotate cookie sheet if some areas of the tomatoes are not blackening.
Transfer tomatoes, onions and juices from pan to a medium size pot. Add garlic, tomato paste and just enough water to cover tomatoes. Bring to a boil and then simmer over low-medium heat for 20 minutes, covered.
Puree soup with a hand held blender or counter top blender until desired consistency reached. I like it not fully pureed but still a little bit chunky.
Pour soup back into the pot, add honey, and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve soup cold or hot, depending on your preference and top with Greek yogurt or sour cream.
