Growing up I honestly don't remember my mom ever making tomato soup. However, if she had offered I would have declined the offer. Like most children, I was a picky eater. However, loved unhealthy foods. This didn't stop as a kid, my unhealthy eating habits actually transitioned into my teenage years and adult life with me. I honestly did not make the change to consistent healthy eating until last year. Of course, I've always loved certain fruits and veggies. However, I would mostly reach for the not so great stuff. This year I planted and harvested a bunch of tomatoes and basil, and I was inspired to use up the tomatoes prior to them going bad. I have a ton of tomatoes plants, so I knew prior to summer that I would probably batch cook some tomatoes soup and freeze it for the colder months.
Last week I had the craving for tomato soup. Yes, I could have gone to the store. However, with a ton of tomatoes on hand. Why not make a batch at home. I'm so happy that I decided to make this. I actually ate all of the soup for this recipe throughout that day. It was so yummy and fresh. I opted not to add cream to this recipe to make it vegan-friendly. I love that this recipe is diet friendly as well and it's so savory. I'm also happy that I found another great recipe to use my palm oil in. The Palm oil gave it such a great added flavor. I'm so happy that my taste buds have changed since my younger years. I really would have been missing out on this yummy soup.

    Roasting everything always brings out the flavors so much more. With all the tomatoes I have from the garden this would be a perfect dinner idea. Can't wait to give this a try.

    The soup looks so good and if it tastes half as good it should be delicious. I never made tomato that was not from a can so now I have the recipe to try it.
