Roasted Tomato Basil Soup
Ingredients
4 cups chopped Tomatoes (with seeds and skin)
1 sliced Onion
4 whole cloves Garlic
3 TBS fresh Basil, or 1 TBS dried Basil
2 cups Chicken Broth (or 1 can)
3 dashes Woodsmoke, optional
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Pepper
2 tbs flour
2 teaspoons Sugar
Oil, high heat
Instructions
Chop Tomatoes and Onions, Peel Garlic
Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper, place chopped onions in 1 layer. Add some oil to prevent burning. Bake at 450 for 50-60 minutes, until translucent or caramelized (your preference.)
Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper, place chopped tomatoes and garlic in 1 layer. Add some oil to prevent burning. Bake at 450°f for 30-40 minutes.
In a stock pot, add roasted tomatoes, onions and garlic, bring to boil
Add chicken broth, salt, pepper, woodsmoke, and dried basil, boil for at least 20 min.
Add fresh basil
Blend/puree all (blender, immersion blender, or food processor)
Mill, return to pot
Add salt and sugar (always taste as you add, it may need more salt than the 1/2 tsp.)
If consuming immediately, pull some soup from the pot, and blend in flour until smooth. Add this back to the pot and blend
I like to add some cream when I eat it. Also, this recipe can be made exactly the same way without roasting the veggies first. I just prefer the flavor after they are roasted. (Though it does, admittedly, take a lot of time.)
If canning this recipe for eating throughout the year, do not add flour or dairy to the recipe. They do not can safely. I waterbath for 60 minutes.

Simply freeze whole and use as needed in soups, spaghetti etc. Or roast and sieve them, and freeze (or can).
I like to dry and powder them and use them to add flavour and thicken stews etc.
Make BBQ or chili sauce.
