Roasted Garlic and Tomatoes Soup

Sharing with you creamy and garlicky - roasted garlic and tomatoes soup, a bowl full of comfort, warmth, memories, and love....

Tomato Soups always bring back a lots of old memories for me. My grandpa used to make excellent tomato soup and I had exclusive privilege to sit on kitchen counter while he made the soup.... starting from blanching the tomatoes to when whole kitchen was filled with that warm soup aroma..... Everyone waited for tasting the soup and I tasted it at every step...... hearing grandpa's lovely old stories of kings and queens. He told those stories to keep me busy while he peeled blanched tomatoes.... and I enjoyed every moment.... until a lush-red and creamy tomato soup was ready..... ah... those were great days of my childhood.... miss you so much grandpa....

Creamy Roasted Garlic and Tomatoes Soup

Few years ago, I had a long break from tomato soup(s) due to an unfortunate soup-dislike phase, but Boudin Bakery's Roasted Garlic Tomato soup made me get back my love for tomato soup again. Their Saturday special in California, is a roasted-garlic-tomato soup, which is favorite of me and Vishal. 

You know, I always try to create flavors, I love, at home. This recipe, I am sharing today is my attempt to pamper the child in me, with my loving Tomato Soup and to enjoy flavors of Boudin Bakery's Roasted Garlic Tomato Soup at home. I decided to include this soup as part of Thanksgiving Event to add taste of some home comfort....

Savita's Notes:

This soup has chunky tomato texture. For smooth soup, puree canned whole tomatoes and roasted tomatoes using a hand blender or processor before adding to the pan.

Roasted garlic tomato soup freezes well. Portion the soup in freezer safe zip-bags or containers. Reheat in microwave before serving.

Roasting You can roast tomatoes and garlic a little longer, another 5-8 minutes to further concentrate the flavor, but I find 25 minutes adding enough magic, i mean roasted flavor, to the soup. Or if pressing for time, simply use roasted canned tomatoes and roast garlic on open flame as described below.

Roasting Garlic on Stove/Grill: To roast garlic on open flame, cut open garlic head in half and place on a aluminium sheet, large enough to make wrap around garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Seal garlic in the foil. Place aluminium foil on low flame and let it cook until garlic is nice and tender, and skin of garlic has charred. (about 5-7 minutes). You will know when garlic is ready. Kitchen will be filled with roasted garlic aroma, hard to miss!
