Roasted Tomato Soup Recipe

Have you ever taken a spoonful of a dish and tasted every single ingredient used to prepare it? Well, that is precisely what happened to me when I created this recipe. Goodness gracious is this soup heavenly! Fresh ingredients are key here. I swear I could taste the sunshine and earth these tomatoes were exposed to. And, if you’re wondering…yes. Yes, I was. If you know, you know. Let me show you how I created this stuff!

FRESH IS BEST

WHAT’S IN THIS STUFF?

Tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the favorite for this soup. However, I was blessed with these gorgeous, nutrient filled, vine-ripened beauties! I knew I had to use them in the soup. I sliced them in half and placed them in the a baking dish. I also add cherry tomatoes for a bit of added sweetness. Don’t keep those cuties!

Onions: Sweet onions are so slept on in tomato soup recipes. Listen, they are delightful in this soup. That added natural glucose pairs well with the acidity of the tomatoes to balance the flavors here.

Garlic: I was carefully not to incorporate too much garlic as it can easily overpower. My bulbs of garlic were very tiny. So, I used two. If you have a normal sized bulb, perfect. You’ll only need one. Roasting my own garlic makes me feel fancy. It’s necessary here.

Spices: This is always my favorite part of recipe development. I love creating spice blends! But, for this soup, I wanted to allow the tomatoes to star in this show. Red pepper flakes and crushed black pepper play very well in this one. A teaspoon of oregano and a dash of onion powder, too! Use my salt measurement as a guide. I don’t know your tastebuds.

COOP! I DON’T HAVE THAT STICK BLENDER THINGY!

It’s all good. Do NOT panic! Just use your blender or food processor. Works all the same. Just be careful not to over blend this stuff. Too much blending will release the bitterness of the tomatoes. We especially don’t want that! I worked hard balancing these flavors for you. Don’t blow it! I trust you.

GRILLED CHEESE IS MANDATORY!

This soup is married to grilled cheese. You need it! It’s a whole experience. Just believe me. I took it to another level by making buttery, garlic-herb bread, toasty, smoke gouda cheese, crouton grilled cheese morsels! I don’t know how else to describe it. I need you to understand that this combo is INSANELY delicious. Got the bread from Walmart. You’re welcome.

Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Chicken, Soups, The Lighter Side
Posted on

I lost my voice. So, this recipe is definitely needed today! Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup recipes can sometimes seem complex. You have to make the stock, simmer until flavors develop, and be careful not to over season. I’m making it easy without skimming on the goodness. 

I prefer white meat in my Chicken Noodle Soup. But, feel free to use whatever you like. The whole chicken can be used it you’re making a large batch. I use bone in chicken breasts. I always sear the skin side of the bird before making a stock. 

Mirepoix! I love saying that dang word! But, it’s golden in a stock! Especially a soup stock! Saute them down right after searing your chicken. 

This is 100% feel good, wellness soup! I don’t think a cold can survive and piping hot bowl of this stuff. It was just what my throat needed! Store this recipe. It’ll come in handy during Cold and Flu season. Stay well, my loves.

Happy Cooking,

Chicken and Spinach Tortellini Soup

Posted on

My air conditioner is on as I type this. It’s almost 70 degrees today. And tomorrow it’ll probably get down to the 50’s. Typical winter in Louisiana! But, I couldn’t wait on the weather to make soup! I’ve been wanting soup all week! And today, I got in my kitchen and made this heavenly Chicken and Spinach Tortellini soup!

Olive Garden, I want to challenge you to a soup-off! You Zuppa Toscana against my Chicken Tort soup! Let’s go! Seriously, I really believe that this recipe will win it. 

I love spinach, so I didn’t even bother chopping it up. I just put handfuls of fresh spinach leaves into my Dutch oven. Oh, and let me tell you that the aromatics from the mirepoix allow was incredible! My kitchen smelled so good while preparing this soup!

And it was very, very easy to make. I always encourage you to either make your own chicken stock or use a chicken base instead of those boxes of chicken broth. It really makes a difference in the end product. 

Serve it with some crusty bread and you’ll have the perfect chilly day lunch! Or, turn the AC on like I did and have it year round! 

Happy Cooking,

Stove Top Version

Russet Potatoes are my favorite in this recipe. I prefer a chunky soup, so I opt to cut the potatoes in 1/2 inch chunks.
Bacon is the foundation of the flavor of this soup! Bacon grease is our friend! I used it to saute the onions and garlic. Then add a little butter for the roux.
My cheese of choice is New York Sharp Cheddar! But, use your favor cheddar. Always buy the block and shred it yourself. Much better results!
