Hearty Hot or Cold Roasted Tomato Soup

Not an original, but sounded good. I grabbed this from Spark People.

Hearty Hot or Cold Roasted Tomato Soup


2 lbs Roma (plum) tomatoes (quartered)
3 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic
1 quart chicken stock
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
½ Tbsp balsamic vinegar cloves
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Place the tomato halves 'cut side up' on a baking tray with the garlic. Drizzle with the oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast at 375F for one hour. Snip the ends off of the garlic and squeeze into bowl or food processor along with contents of baking tray. Add stock, basil, and vinegar. Blend and enjoy! (serve hot or cold)

Happy Gardening,
