Roasted Green Tomato Soup

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds green tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the chopped green tomatoes, diced onion, and minced garlic on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
  3. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and are beginning to caramelize. Make sure to stir halfway through for even roasting.
  4. Once roasted, transfer the vegetables to a large pot and add the vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  5. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can blend it partially.
  6. Stir in the fresh basil and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional basil and parsley if desired.
