Roasted Heirloom Tomato Soup and Harvest Salad with French Vinaigrette

October 22, 2011 by susanelester 6 Comments

This is a wonderful, quick weeknight meal that is packed with nutrients.  We served this with warm Sourdough Bread.


Roasted Heirloom Tomato Soup

Because we had such an unusually cool summer in Southern California, some of our tomatoes were late to ripen.  This week, we had enough of these gorgeous orange ones to make soup.

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
Slice 6 Heirloom Tomatoes into 1/2-thick slices and lay on baking sheet in a single layer.
Cut an Onion into 8 wedges and scatter among Tomatoes.
Peel 6 cloves of Garlic and scatter among Tomatoes and Onions.
Drizzle all the vegetables with Olive Oil.
Sprinkle with Italian Herb Mix, Salt, and Pepper.

Roast in the oven for 45 minutes – your kitchen will smell enticing!

Using a rubber spatula, scrape everything into an 8-cup Pyrex measuring cup and whiz with an immersion blender to desired consistency.  Using a measuring cup allows you to pour the soup into the bowls easily.

You have several options at this point:

  • Serve the soup warm with a dollop of Sour Cream
  • Chill the soup and serve it cold with a dollop of Sour Cream
  • Use it as a sauce for any number of Risotto, Pasta, Lasagna, or Chicken dishes

We’ve served it warm and chilled and enjoyed it equally both ways.

    I’ve taken a few minutes to catch up on your posts from this week…terrific and inspirational. I was just thinking about making tomato soup…the kiddies want grilled cheese sandwiches and I remembered that these foods together used to be a favorite…not made in a long, long time. Your ideas are great, photos are beautiful, and all the special touches are wonderful…I’m sure your guests loved their time with you and all the wonderful foods.

    I had to pop back over as I knew I missed at least one of your posts. I’m glad I did as both your soup and salad are right up my alley…and you get to enjoy them in paradise (love the sunrise photo!).
