Do any of you gardeners know the stage where you have too many tomatoes to eat fresh, but not quite enough to make a canner full of something? This is when I make a batch of tomato soup. I freeze it and then use it for recipes or just to eat. I found this recipe for roasted tomato soup and thought it sounded great. I made a double batch and used chicken broth I had in the freezer instead of vegetable broth. It seemed to me it needed a bit more spice to it, so I also added 1/2 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning and a bit of fresh basil. If you like a bit of heat, I would consider roasting a hot pepper with it or adding a few splashes of hot sauce.
I would like to tell you how much this made and how much I froze, but we ate this with supper and this was all I had left.
Needless to say, my family loved this! I hope to make it again when I have more tomatoes and this time get some in the freezer!
