Baked Tomatoes Soup (served cold or warm)

When one bakes tomatoes they acquire a unique and delicious taste; the sugars caramelize and the aromas strengthen. This soup captures all the taste in a creamy texture! We thoroughly recommend you try it!

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 kg ripe tomatoes, cutted in half
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp each thyme and basil
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • salt & pepper
  • 1/2 lit chicken broth
  • 1 dry onion, chopped in brunoise
  • 2 garlic cloves

For the garnish

  • crouton
  • 1/2 bunch parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 fresh basil, finely chopped

Procedure:

Make your crouton from square bread or old bread. Cut as you like.

Preheat oven to 180°C

Place the tomatoes on a baking pan.

Pour over olive oil, sprinkle with sugar, thyme and basil, add salt and pepper and bake for 30 minutes.

Sauté in a bit of olive oil the finely chopped onion and garlic, add the broth and the baked tomatoes and let boil over medium heat for about 20-30 minutes.

Mash the soup in the blender, pass it through a sieve for a finer texture, and if it becomes too thin put it back on the fire and reduce for a while. 

Serve with crouton and parsley or fresh basil.

If you serve the soup cold, add a bit of olive oil and a few drops of balsamic vinegar in each plate just before you serve it.

Tips

This vegetable is the epitomy of Greek summer, so please do not serve this soup in wintertime!
