The Recipe
I look forward every year to the tomato harvest when I can make a big batch of Roasted Tomato Basil Soup. After trying many tomato basil soup recipes that didn't quite do it for me I finally found this one at The Unconvential Kitchen. I make it every year and double the batch so I can bottle it and enjoy it throughout the winter season.

Start by cutting tomatoes in half, I love Roma but used a mix of what was ripe. Mix together 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 Tbsp. Real salt and 1 1/2 tsp. black pepper. Toss the tomatoes in the olive oil mixture and place in a roasting pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.

In a large soup pot melt together 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 cups chopped onion, 1/4 tsp. red pepper and 6 garlic cloves. Cook until light brown, then add 1 quart of bone broth (or chicken stock).

Add to the pot 1, 28 oz. can of tomatoes with juice (or use tomato powder using the crushed tomatoes equivalent-see below).

Scoop 1/2 cup tomato powder and 1 tsp. Real salt into a measuring cup. Pour very hot water over the powder (using the ratios given in the tomato powder post) and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Remove cover, stir until well blended, then add right to your pot of soup.
Simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the mixture into the blender, I love my Blendtec! Pulse in batches until you reached the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with garlic toast.
This batch makes enough for dinner and then a quart bag or two to freeze for later. If I have enough ingredients I like to double the batch, which gives me 8 quart bottles that I can pressure can for my food storage. I pressure can at 12 lbs. pressure for 30 minutes.
