Garden Tomato Soup #food



It’s almost the end of the short growing season on our side of the world. And my husband picked up most of the tomatoes from our garden while battling a herd of mosquitoes.😆 His statement threw me off when he said “I was standing in the middle of the garden battling the mosquitos and refused to leave till I am done picking them all”. He came inside with a lot of colorful tomatoes for me to use in multiple savory dishes along with a lot of bites.😂
Believe me, we have a lot of mosquitos in our backyard in this season. Sometimes I ask my kids to go and pick something from the garden if my hands are occupied and they refuse most of the time because they get bites.
Anyway, I used some of the tomatoes and made this deliciously sweet and creamy roasted tomato soup. It was sweet naturally because of the yellow bulb-shaped tomatoes. These yellow bulb tomatoes are incredibly sweet and not acidic at all like the red cherry tomatoes. It was a perfect combination using the two varieties together. Red cherries are a bit tart and the yellow ones are sweet and they complement each other perfectly in the soup.
Let’s proceed to the recipe then.

MEK Roasted Cherry Tomatoes Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

1 kg cherry tomatoes or any other variety or a combination
4 banana peppers
1 whole onion, sliced
½ head garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp sea salt
Some black pepper
2 crushed red chillies

Combine all these and toss them to coat. Spread it on a baking tray and bake at 425 F for 30-40 minutes. Take them out and squeeze out the garlic from the peel. Let it cool a bit and then transfer to a blender. Blend everything to paste and then pass it through a sieve. Use the back of a large spoon to push the pulp out through the sieve. Discard the peels and the seeds. And set the puree aside.

4 tbsp olive oil
Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary (as per your choice)
¼ cup white flour
4 cups chicken or beef stock- homemade
The reserved tomato puree
Salt and pepper to adjust to your taste
½ cup heavy cream- we will be adding it once the pot is off the heat for 10 minutes. Because the acidity of the tomatoes can curdle the cream and we don’t want that.

Heat olive oil in the stock pot and add fresh herbs to it. They will splutter. Add the flour to it and cook for two minutes till it is a bit roasted. Now pour the tomato puree into it and using a whisk, quickly whisk it to prevent the lumps from forming. Add the stock to it.

Cover it and simmer it for 5-10 minutes. Simmering it is not needed but it’s just us mothers’ habit to let it cook for a while.
Remove from heat and adjust the seasoning. After ten minutes, stir in the cream and serve it with a drizzle of cream and a dash of your favorite seasoning on the top.

For the grilled cheese sandwich I used gouda, Colby jack, fresh mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. Smear butter on the outer sides of the bread and slowly grill them on medium-low heat.
Serve it alongside the creamy soup. Enjoy!❤️

We are your sisters and your children. By God, we do not even find a loaf of bread inside the house that would satisfy you. Oh nation of Muhammad, I only spoke out of extreme hunger and distress. My mother, sisters, and I are displaced from our homes because of the war. We are in a state that no one knows about except God. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs, against those who brought us to this state 💔💔 By God Almighty, I only wrote this appeal out of extreme poverty and poverty, oh people.

I am not lying to you nor deceiving you nor cheating you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced because of the war between me and my family over a rent dispute and the owner of the house. By God, my brother comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants us to go out to the street because we are unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and talked to the neighbors again and gave us a deadline until the end of the week and we swore to God to let us out of the street now we are in arrears of 60 thousand Yemeni riyals for 3 months rent may God have mercy on us our country is suffering because of this war and we do not find our daily sustenance and we live my mother and sisters our father passed away may God have mercy on him and we do not have anyone in the world to come to us in these harsh circumstances my little sisters went out to the street and saw the neighbors eating and stood at their door giving them even a piece of bread and by God in whose hand is the heavens and the earth they closed the door and kicked them out and they came back crying dying of hunger no one has mercy on them and now the holiday has come back to me if no one of us helps us with a kilo of flour by God we will die of hunger brother I seek refuge in God and then in you and I want your help for the sake of God I ask you by God you love goodness and help me even if it is about the rent of the house send me a WhatsApp message on this number 00967717415667 and ask for my card name and send it and do not delay may God compensate you with all good My little sisters, look at their situation and help us and save us before they throw us out into the street and humiliate us or my family and I die of hunger.
