ROASTED TOMATO SOUP

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:

  1. Preheat the oven to 212°C (425°F). Place the halved tomatoes in a large baking dish, arranging them snugly together.

  2. Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and scatter the sliced onion, garlic, Sel Magique Spicy Blend, and sugar over the top.

  3. Toss everything together until the tomatoes are evenly coated. Lay the thyme sprigs over the top, or sprinkle with dried thyme if you prefer.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Remove the thyme sprigs and blend until smooth, or until you reach your desired consistency. If needed, blend in batches to avoid overflow.

  7. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more Sel Magique Spicy Blend, if necessary.

  8. Serve warm in bowls, with toasted slices of bread drizzled with olive oil on the side for dipping. 

Don't be shy with the Magique, it tastes amazing on bread too..
