Roasted Tomato Soup (South Beach Diet Phase 2) image

From newest book. Haven't tried. This rich, rustic flavor of this soup comes from slow-roasting the tomatoes (you can do other things while they are in the oven). If you like a little sweetness, add a touch of sugar substitute when you adjust your seasonings. If you're on phases 2 or 3, add whole wheat tortellini for a satisfying entree.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 1.25 cup servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 lbs plum tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
1 medium onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper. Arrange the tomatos, cut side up, on the pan. Scatter onion and garlic in a single layer around tomatoes. Sprinkle tomatoes, onion, garlic, with basil, oregano, salt and pepper to taste; drizzle with oil. Bake on the middle of the rack of the oven until tomatoes are golden on the bottoms and start to collapse, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and carefully transfer the contents of the pan to a blender. Add 1/2 cup broth and puree until smooth.
  • Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup of broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove pan from heat and season soup with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm.
