Roasted Tomato Soup is a wonderfully healthy and satisfying dish to be served anytime. And incredibly easy to make. My version does not use cream and yet it is creamy and luscious. The trick is to roast carrots, celery, shallots and garlic along with fresh tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil. Puree the warm, roasted vegetables in a food processor until smooth. Heat through and finish with a knob of butter. Serve hot. This soup also freezes well, so make a big batch with your tomato harvest.
