Cozy season is loading and nothing screams comfort food as home made Tomatoe soep, try this version with our Spicy Blend. It warms the soul.
Ingredients:
- 45 ml (3 tablespoons) olive oil
- ½ large onion, sliced
- 1 kg (2 pounds) small vine-ripened tomatoes, halved
- 1 teaspoon Sel Magique Spicy Blend, plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated garlic
- 2 slices fresh country-style bread, crust removed and torn into small pieces (about 1 packed cup)
- 250-500 ml (½-1 cup) vegetable broth
- 3-4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 212°C (425°F). Place the halved tomatoes in a large baking dish, arranging them snugly together.
-
Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and scatter the sliced onion, garlic, Sel Magique Spicy Blend, and sugar over the top.
-
Toss everything together until the tomatoes are evenly coated. Lay the thyme sprigs over the top, or sprinkle with dried thyme if you prefer.
-
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the tomatoes and onions are soft, golden, and the pan juices are bubbling. Let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes.
-
Transfer the roasted tomatoes and their juices to a blender or food processor. Add the torn bread and pour just enough vegetable broth or water to barely cover the mixture, depending on how juicy the tomatoes are.
-
Remove the thyme sprigs and blend until smooth, or until you reach your desired consistency. If needed, blend in batches to avoid overflow.
-
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more Sel Magique Spicy Blend, if necessary.
-
Serve warm in bowls, with toasted slices of bread drizzled with olive oil on the side for dipping.
