Vitamix Tomato Soup Recipe: How to make roasted tomato soup

Roasting tomatoes, a few red peppers, garlic and shallots in the oven makes the kitchen and the rest of the home smell so inviting and cozy. At least that's what my son's friends said when they walked into the kitchen as I prepared this delicious yet simple recipe for supper.

Under 6 ingredients (if you don't count salt as an ingredient), takes about 5 minutes prep work, 20 minutes to roast, 5 minutes to blend and you have delicious home made soup. Give it a try and see for yourself what you can create in 30 minutes with these simple ingredients, you most likely have at home right now.

Ingredients

1 dozen ripe tomatoes (I used tomatoes on the vine)
2 red bell pepper (large ones)
2 shallots (medium size)
1 head garlic (whole knob)
2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin and cold pressed is best, as you are using it raw)
1.5 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp parsley or basil (fresh herbs are better)

Instructions

Wash your tomatoes and bell peppers. Place in a baking dish, along with your shallots and garlic, sprinkle 1 tbsp olive oil and a little salt over the veggies
Roast in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees fahrenheit for 20 minutes
Remove from oven, wait till it cools slightly (till you can handle veggies with fingers) and the remove skin of roasted garlc, shallots and seeds from the red peppers
Pop all this into a Vitamix blender, including all the delicious baking juice that has oozed out of the tomatoes and bell peppers and blend on low then high for 30 to 60 seconds.
Turn down the blender to variable 3 (speed 3) and pour in 1 tbsp olive oil and blend on high again
Pour into soup bowl, sprinkle fresh herbs such as basil or parsley, some freshly ground pepper if you like and enjoy with garlic bread or on its own
