Roasted Spiced Tomato Soup

Ingredients:

For roasting:

  • 10 large tomatoes on vine, cut into wedges
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 1 whole head of garlic, halved

For soup:

  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 1 heaping tbsp harissa or any chili paste
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 heaping tbsp roasted mashed garlic
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 10 fresh basil leaves

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325F.
  2. Place tomato wedges into a roasting pan, drizzle some olive oil and a sprinkling of salt and black pepper. Toss to coat. Place halved garlic head onto a medium sized foil, drizzle some oil and wrap it up into a parcel. Place foil in the same roasting pan for tomatoes. Roast for 50 minutes.
  3. Meantime, heat a large soup pot on medium and add 2 tbsp of cooking oil. Once oil sizzles, add minced shallots and cook for a few minutes or until translucent.
  4. Add the spices (harissa, turmeric, coriander and cumin powder). Cook for 1 minute before adding honey and vegetable broth. Allow the liquid to come to simmer.
  5. Throw in roasted tomatoes and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper. Allow the soup to thicken and simmer for 10 more minutes before adding fresh basil leaves.
  6. Turn the heat to low. Using an immersion blender, puree soup until smooth.
  7. Ladle hot soup into bowls and enjoy, topped with cubed day old bread, basil oil, cream and a dash of cumin powder!
