Instructions

Roasting tomatoes

Rinse the tomatoes in water first for a few times in a colander or strainer.
Preheat oven at 180 °C/356 °F for 10 minutes.
Slice the tomatoes into medium to medium-thick slices and place them in a baking tray in a single layer.
For a quick clean up line your baking tray with a parchment
Add chopped garlic in the tray.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly on the tomatoes.
Roast in a preheated oven at 180 °C/356 °F for 25 to 30 minutes or till the tomatoes have shrunk in size and look golden.

Making roasted tomato soup

When the roasted tomatoes are slightly hot or warm, add them in a blender along with the garlic and all the juices and oil from the tray.
Add crushed black pepper, salt as needed and sugar to the blender.
Add warm or slightly hot water and blend to a fine and smooth puree. If the soup looks thick to you add some more water.
If you prefer, you can transfer the soup in a saucepan and heat it lightly on the stovetop.
Pour the soup in serving bowls.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, basil or cilantro or top with some grated cheese or cream if you prefer. You can also place some bread croutons on top of the soup.
Serve roasted tomato soup warm or chilled.

Notes

The addition of warm water is optional. If the tomatoes are juicy, then you don't need to add any warm water.
Again adding sugar depend on the sweetness of tomatoes. If the tomatoes are sweet, then you don't need to add any sugar.
The recipe is easily scalable and can be doubled or tripled.
Best is to use ripe red tomatoes so that you do not end up with an extremely sour tasting soup.
