Roasted Tomato, Garlic, & Onion Coconut Soup

This soup is definitely one of the best homemade soups I have made to date. You have got to try it!!!

Roasting vegetables:

5 pounds of Roma tomatoes, washed & sliced in half, 1 large sweet onion, peeled & sliced, 2-3 large garlic bulbs, prepared for roasting, extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt & pepper for vegetables

Soup:

3 cups roasted tomatoes, 2 tbsp roasted garlic flesh, all of the roasted sweet onion, 1 can coconut milk (reserve 2-3 tbsp for garnish) 3 cups vegetable broth, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 2 tsp garam masala (or make your own) 1 tsp salt or to taste, 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, for garnish: garlic croutons, coconut milk, pesto, herbs, garam masala, pepper, etc.

1. Preheat oven to 400F and line 2 baking sheets with tin foil if you use it…if you don’t there is just more scrubbing at clean up…not a big deal) (note that parchment paper will burn). Lightly drizzle on olive oil onto onions, garlic and tomatoes. Season onions and garlic and tomatoes with S & P. Roast for about 30 minutes and then check on the vegetables. You might have to remove the onions early as they cook the quickest. When the onions are golden and lightly blackened on the edge, you can remove them. The garlic can be roasted longer than the onions and the tomatoes for about 1 hour and 20 mins. Your oven times will vary though, so keep an eye on them!

2. Add 3 cups roasted tomatoes, 2 tbsp roasted garlic flesh, and all the onion into a large pot. Add coconut milk, tomato paste, and broth and stir well.

3. Stir in the seasonings and spices to taste. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 5-10 minutes.

4. Carefully transfer into a blender, processor, or use an immersion blender. Pulse for just a few seconds until chunky. You can also make it smooth, but I liked the texture. Serve immediately and garnish with reserved coconut milk, a sprinkle of garam masala, croutons/bread, and fresh black pepper.

Takes a little time but it’s not that bad and is worth the work…..but we really LOVE tomato soup.
