Notes
- To Make Ahead: Roasted tomato soup can be made a few days ahead of time, stored in the fridge. I think it even tastes better as it sits and the flavors have time to blend.
- To freeze: store in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then rewarm on the stove.
