Roasted tomato soup
2 pounds fresh tomatoes - I used a combination of vine
and plum but you can use whatever you like.
4 garlic cloves
1 thyme sprig
1 teaspoon fresh oregano
salt and black pepper to taste
2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock
basil oil for serving
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Preheat the oven to 450˚F.
Cut the tomatoes in halves. Spread the tomatoes and garlic onto a baking pan and add the thyme, oregano, salt and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil and roast for 35 to 40 minutes. When ready, transfer the tomatoes with garlic and herbs to a stock pot and add vegetable stock. Let it simmer for 15 minutes. Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender) puree the soup until smooth. Serve hot or cold with a drizzle of basil oil and Parmesan crisp.
For the Parmesan Crisp:
Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat and pour a heaping spoon of Parmesan cheese (you will get 6 small or 4 large Parmesan crisps.) Bake for 3 to 8 minutes, depending on the size. They should be golden and will crisp up as they cool.
