Nocona and I really love fresh foods. The fresher the better. The most ideal dinner would be to go out to the garden pick all the ingredients for a dish. You can just about do that with this soup. Its so easy and fast to make. I've never been a big soup fan but this was souper delicious.
Tomato/Basil Soup
10-11 Tomatoes (medium sized)
1 Onion
2 Cloves of Garlic
2 T Fresh Thyme Leaves
1 t Salt
1 t Pepper
2 T Olive Oil
12-14 Fresh Basil Leaves
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the tomatoes and garlic in halves and lay them out in a 13x9 baking dish. Cut the onion in fourths and place it in the dish with the tomatoes and garlic. Drizzle all of it with olive oil, sprinkle the thyme, salt and pepper over the top and pop it in the oven for 25-30 min. Cool for a few minutes.
Now take the roasted tomatoes and friends and put them in a blender (it will probably take two shifts). Combine it with the 12 basil leaves (or 6 per shift) and blend it up. Pour all of it into a pot on the stove and heat it up for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. You can add additional salt and pepper to taste. Then serve it up with some basil leaves on top and you'll look like you know what your doing (it goes great with a grilled cheese)!
