You know those days that all you need is to cozy up with a bowl of hot soup, well it’s definitely that kind of day for me.

Tomatoes are amazing little gems. A fruit, yet we treat it like a vegetable. They are the pride and joy of so many gorgeous tasting dishes, including this slow Roasted Tomato Soup. Love!

You don’t have to use a variety of tomatoes, but it sure does taste amazing if you do. Tomatoes have so many different characteristics and flavors to match. So if you can find a variety, by all means do try them.

I use to try my hand at growing them and enjoyed it immensely. My favorites to grow and eat straight off the vine were the Black Krim, they were so beautiful and had a deep, rich flavor.

When making this soup, don’t skimp on the garlic. No I’m not kidding … yes indeed, use the whole bulb and not just a few cloves. Make sure that you roast the cloves in their skin so they don’t get hard. Once roasted, do make it a point to find them all, then squish all that nutty flavored garlic right out of their skins, they mellow when roasted and add a brilliant, rich flavor.

I love this soup served hot and I also enjoy it on the cold side. Usually I don’t add any broth to thin it out, but if you prefer a thinner soup, only add a little at a time until you have the consistency you like and remember that it will be thicker when the soup is cold. You can top it off with a pretty little dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt and a few thyme leaves. Adding a small drizzle of Balsamic vinegar at the end gives it that extra edge that makes life that much more sweet, so don’t skimp.

If you are wanting a bit more of a meal, this soup is the perfect friend to a grilled Pimiento cheese sandwich or a simple salad.
