Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 sweet onion, chopped

6 garlic cloves, peeled & minced

3 lbs roma tomatoes (roughly 12 in total), cut in half

4 tablespoons organic tomato paste

32 oz chicken bone broth (vegan option: vegetable stock)

3/4 cup full fat coconut milk, unsweetened

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1/3 cup fresh basil, finely chopped

Step 1

Make the roasted tomatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F and drizzle olive oil on the bottom of roasting pan or dish. Place the roma tomatoes cut side up on the baking sheet. Add the peeled garlic cloves and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 40 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the remaining ingredients and lower the heat to simmer for about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from heat and add the roasted tomatoes and garlic. Let the stockpot cool before using an immersion blender (or NutriBullet like I used) to purée the soup. Carefully add contents into your blender and purée (note: you may need to do this in batches like I had to). Blend on high until thoroughly puréed.

Step 5

Return soup to the pot to reheat. Serve with toasted gluten free bread or with dairy/gluten free grilled cheese sandwiches’ like my fiancé suggests!
