Life

So...I've been super busy recently. It hasn't really slowed down my cooking, I just haven't had time to post anything. I'll be out of the country for a couple of weeks but I hope to put some of the things that I've tried up when I get back, before tax season starts. To be quite honest, it's surprising how many people have looked at this blog. I originally started it as a place to put recipes I like and access from anywhere, hence the name. I don't mind though, I think it's cool, so keep on looking!

Roasted Vegetable Tomato Soup

A simple roasted vegetable soup. I served this with Chipotle Gouda Goetta Macaroni and Cheese.

Ingredients:
1 onion quartered
2 cloved of garlic in their skin
3 fresh tomatoes
1 red bell pepper
2 cans diced tomatoes (I used one that was mixed with chilies)
5 fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Roast the onion, garlic, fresh tomatoes and bell pepper in a 400 degree over for 20-25 minutes. Once roasted, place the onion, garlic (without skins), tomatoes and bell pepper (seeds removed) in a blender with the two can of tomatoes, olive oil and basil. Blend for a minute or two or until completely smooth. Warm the soup through on the stove.
