Roasted Tomato Soup is made with baked Roma tomatoes, onions, carrots, garlic, chicken broth and spices that are blended together into a smooth velvety fall soup. Tomatoes and vegetables are first coated with olive oil and baked in a large foil lined baking pan at 450 degrees for 60 minutes. After cooling vegetables for 5 minutes, the veggies are blended together using a blender or immersion stick blender. This soup is best served with crusty bread, mini toasted cheese sandwiches or cheddar cheese straws. The cheddar cheese straws can be shaped into large spoons or small pressed cookie style designs.
