Tomatoes – oh man I love this fruit. My grocery lists always have tomatoes and onion. Hubby asks me what will happen if someone tells me no tomato for a week. Well I can survive a day, may be two without it, but after that no way. Every during no onion, no garlic days tomatoes are my keeper for gravy and other cooking.

My tomatoes addiction even reflected in my space. Checkout the few recipes I posted with tomatoes as key ingredient. Other than this, in almost all the gravy I posted, it decorates the recipes. How come I forgot Warm lip-smacking delicacy in a bowl. Perfect for this chill weather.

Ever since my childhood days when I hear soup, I think “Tomato Soup”. I can still picture restaurant-style Soup with heavy cream and Bread croutons.  Perfect balance of mild sourness with tomatoes, slight sweetness from cream/sugar and heat from pepper.
When I was in college I saw tomato soup recipe in TV. Chef boiled tomatoes, peeled the skin pureed it and boiled with cream, added seasoning and served with deep fried  bread. I love it, I  used to prepare this regularly and we all enjoy at home.

After moving to US, I started baking the bread and served garlic bread with the soup. One day I thought why not bake the tomatoes and prepare soup. I haven’t baked vine/plum tomatoes before, to play a safe game I tried it with grape tomatoes. The mild sweetness in it complimented the dish well.

I told my husband I prepared Tomato Soup, he gave a weird look, with baked tomatoes? I said yes and gave him a bowl. He was licking the spoon and in no time asked for second serve. I don’t know whether the Tomato Soup complimented the cheese crackers or it is other way. Yes you heard me right we had the soup with cheese cracker. I can hear you, cheese crackers is my next post. That day he didn’t ask me what I cooked for lunch. Even the last bowl of soup was in a hurry for my trial and error picture. Few quick shots, cracker and soup was over in no time 🙂

Notes

For rich and creamy soup you can add little more heavy cream but more cream downplays the oven roasted taste
Cherry/plum/vine or any other tomatoes can be added. Peel the skin if you are using vine/plum tomatoes for smooth texture
If the tomatoes you are using are sour add little more sugar or heavy cream
Tomato paste can added while boiling tomato soup for extra flavor and color
If you are using canned tomatoes avoid roasting
Carrots can be roasted in oven along with tomatoes, onion and garlic
Coconut milk can be used instead of heavy cream for vegan version and butter can be replaced with oil

    I am a fan of tomatoes too. Looks like a clever idea to bake the tomatoes and make a soup. I am sure that roasting would have impacted lot more flavor than boiling. The soup looks so warm and comforting 🙂
