SUNNY'S SIMPLE ROASTED TOMATO SOUP WITH BROILED CHEESE TOAST

Steps:

• For the soup: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
• Drizzle some olive oil in a zig-zag motion on the foil. Add the thyme and garlic and season the baking sheet with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes, bell peppers and jalapeno on the baking sheet sliced-side down, covering the garlic cloves and thyme as you go along. Pour over the onions, drizzle the top of everything with olive oil and season again with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast until the onions are golden and slightly charred, about 40 minutes.
• Transfer everything from the baking sheet to a blender in batches and pulse until smooth. Pour into a pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring the entire time. Add enough vegetable stock to achieve the desired consistency; you may not use it all. Keep warm on low.
• For the toast: Preheat the broiler on high.
• Put a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and arrange the bread on the rack. Top each piece of bread with a slice of cheese and place under the broiler. WATCH while they cook: the cheese will melt and bubble, then the corners will begin to blacken--pull them out then! This takes less than a minute. Serve aside or atop a bowl of soup.

A SIMPLE TOMATO SOUP RECIPE (VERY VEGAN FRIENDLY)

Steps:

• Stove top: In a large pot over medium heat melt the butter/oil. Add the onions and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften - 10 minutes approximately.
• Stir in the curry powder, coriander, cumin, and chile flakes, and cook just until the spices are fragrant and toasty - stirring constantly at this point about 30 seconds.
• Stir in the tomatoes, the juices from the cans, and broth.
• Simmer for fifteen minutes or so, then puree with a hand blender until smooth. If you'd like your soup even a bit thinner or with more of a coconut taste- you can thin it with more broth or more coconut milk. Taste and adjust with more salt if necessary.
• Crock Pot: Follow directions #1 and #2 above. After sauteeing the onion and spices, pour that mixture plus the tomatoes and juices and broth into the crock pot. Simmer on HIGH for about 1 1/2 hours then LOW for about 3 hours longer.
• About 5 minutes before serving, I poured in about 5 ounces of the coconut milk. Stir and taste. Add more coconut milk for a more pronounced taste, as desired.
• Serving suggestions from the Apartment Therapy website: any or all of the following: cooked brown rice, lemon wedges, toasted almond slices, pan-fried paneer, fresh cilantro, parsley, thyme or oregano, a poached egg.
• For the test recipe, we added to each serving of soup about 1/4 cup scoop short grain brown rice, a tablespoon or so (dollop) of thick coconut milk, fresh cilantro and lemon wedges.
