Fresh Tomato Soup
Description
This recipe starts with halved Roma tomatoes seasoned with olive oil, salt, and pepper, baked in the oven at 400°F for 75 minutes to concentrate flavors and soften the fruit. Meanwhile, onions are sautéed until translucent, providing a savory base. Roasted tomatoes are combined with the cooked onions, heavy cream, and water in a pot, then brought to a simmer.
After simmering to meld the flavors, the soup is pureed to a creamy consistency using a blender. The resulting soup balances bright acidity from the tomatoes with the smooth richness of cream and gentle seasoning, making it well-suited as a comforting lunch or appetizer.
