Tomato soup ; Excess 3

Roasted tomato soup, perfect for hot and cold days. I got inspired from a Smoked tomato soup recipe from "Home Made" cooking book. Here is what I did: halve 5 ripe fresh tomatoes and place on a baking sheet with olive oil and salt. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes at 375 degrees. While the tomatoes are roasting, place 28 oz can of organic whole tomatoes in a large pan, add 1 tsp paprika and a pinch of dried hot peppers, 2 peeled garlic cloves, and 2 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Add the broiled tomatoes to the soup, and puree until smooth. Add salt and pepper as needed. Enjoy! ; KGS just finished knitting her 3rd Excess hat, it looks amazing on her.
