Roasted garlic & tomato soup with parmesan crisps is a hearty and flavorful dish perfect for any season. This recipe combines the robust flavors of roasted garlic and fresh tomatoes, enhanced by a savory vegetable broth base. The addition of parmesan crisps adds a delightful crunch, making this dish both comforting and gourmet-worthy.
Instructions:
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and halve the garlic cloves.
- Wash the tomatoes and cut them into quarters.
- Peel and chop the onion.
- Spread the quartered tomatoes and halved garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
- While the tomatoes and garlic are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the tomatoes and garlic are roasted, add them to the pot with the sautéed onions.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth. Be cautious of the hot liquid.
- Return the blended soup to the pot and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a small circle (approximately 2 inches in diameter). Repeat this process, leaving some space between each mound.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven (still at 400°F) and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Remove the Parmesan crisps from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will harden as they cool.
- Ladle the hot roasted tomato soup into bowls.
- Garnish with a Parmesan crisp or serve them on the side.
Tips:
- Roast the garlic until it's soft and golden brown to enhance its sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Select ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor; heirloom varieties work great for this recipe.
- Blend the soup to your desired consistency – for a smoother texture, use an immersion blender, but if you prefer a chunkier soup, only blend part of it.
- To make the parmesan crisps, spread the grated parmesan thinly on a baking sheet for even baking and optimal crispiness.
- Season the soup gradually and taste as you go to avoid over-salting, especially since the parmesan crisps will add extra saltiness.
- For added richness, finish the soup with a swirl of extra virgin olive oil or a splash of cream before serving.
