Tomato Basil Soup
*Approximately 10 over ripened tomatoes. Type of tomato will determine the flavor of your soup.
*1 large sweet onion
*bunch of basil. (select the basil of your choice, purple basil will result in a slightly peppery soup)
*three cloves of fresh garlic
*salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 380. Cut tomatoes and place on a cookie sheet. Heat tomatoes until they are slightly caramelized,
Slice onions and add to cookie sheet with tomatoes ..bake until onion and tomatoes are both fully caramelized. Mince garlic and toast for a few minutes on top to the tomatoes and onions.
Blend all content along with basil until smooth.
I substitute the milk with low fat coconut milk and I always use vegetable broth.
