The Youth Group entry for the MHUCC Souperbowl contest was Roasted Tomato and Ricotta Soup, with grilled cheese. It was an excellent soup! Here is the recipe:
Ingredients
- 10 medium/large tomatoes
- olive oil
- 1 onion
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2-3 cups vegetable broth
- 3/4 cup ricotta
- 1/2 cup basil
- ½ teaspoon salt (less if the broth is salty)
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Peal the onion and cut it into quarters.
- Cut tomatoes into quarters (or 8ths if it is a really large tomato).
- Roughly chop basil leaves and discard the tough stems.
- Line a sheet pan with foil and coat it with a thin layer of olive oil. Add tomatoes and onion. Coat with more olive oil and add salt and pepper.
- Roast for 20 minutes, and then add the garlic cloves. Roast for another 10-15 minutes, until onions and tomatoes are cooked through and starting to be brown around the edges
- Add tomatoes, onions and garlic to a blender with broth, ricotta and basil. Blend until fairly smooth (you want to retain some texture).
- Serve and enjoy.
