This is another no recipe dish with few ingredients, that is incredibly easy, delicious, healthy, and economical. The oven and the blender does most of the work and it comes together fast. And you can enjoy this hearty and yummy soup with orzo pasta and/or grilled cheese.
Tomato soup and grilled cheese are another match made in food heaven. You can also cut up the grilled cheese and serve them as croutons, or just go with the traditional croutons, which are easy to make at home.
As I’ve said, you don’t need a recipe. But I’ve included an estimate below to serve as a guide if you need it.
You can make the soup smooth or chunky. The choice is yours. It’s your one of a kind tomato soup.

 

Tomatoes
I like using cherry tomatoes because they are easy to use. You don’t need to chop them and I think they taste a bit sweeter. You can use all kinds of small bite size tomatoes that comes in round or grape shapes and in red and yellow. Go with what you like.
You can use regular whole organic fresh tomatoes too. Just make sure you chopped them up to bite size.
If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, you can also use canned organic whole tomatoes (juice included). You don’t need to roast them, so just follow the instruction after you put them in the blender.

 

Onions
you can use any kind of onions. I’m partial to red onions. I chopped them up and toss them with the tomatoes. Onions give natural sweetness to any dish and it’s so much better and healthier than processed sugar. I don’t think you can ever add too much onions or garlic in any meal. Add as much or as little as you want.

 

Garlic
You don’t need to mince the garlic. Just toss the whole cloves with the tomatoes and onions and roast them altogether. Not only is it easy, but you get the flavor of roasted garlic. Yum.

 

Broth
I recommend homemade or store bought vegetable or mushroom broth. If you don’t have either, you can use filtered water.

 

Orzo is optional, but it makes the soup heartier, thicker, and tastier, so I recommend you try them. They are so small in size, they cook in no time, but make sure you follow the direction on the package.

 

Remember to always taste while you cook and season and adjust to your liking.
