Once upon a time in the summer I made some tomato soup. I had a lot of tomatoes. The soup is easy and delicious. Adapted from a Tyler Florence recipe.
- 3 pounds tomatoes
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 2 small yellow onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 quart vegetable stock
- 4 tablespoons butter/margarine
- 1/2 cup chopped basil leaves
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Bake the tomatoes, garlic and onions with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Put everything in a pot and cook for 30 minutes. Then add basil. Then puree the soup.
