About

This recipe is all about the slow cook. The longer you roast the tomatoes, the sweeter they will become. This is a soup I would save for the weekends, but you don’t have to miss out on it during the week. Freeze this soup in an airtight container and treat yourself to a slow-cooked meal fast on a regular week night.
