Oven Roasted Garlic Onion Soup Food

OVEN-ROASTED TOMATO AND GARLIC SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place the tomatoes cut-side up on a baking sheet. Combine the garlic and olive oil and brush the tomatoes with it, then season to taste with the salt and pepper. Roast until dried and soft, about 8 hours.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet until the oil begins to simmer. Add the garlic and cook until the slices begin to brown and curl. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke and saute the onions until golden. Add the wine, raise the heat to high, and reduce until almost dry. Add the stock, canned tomatoes, roasted garlic and roasted tomatoes and reduce by one-quarter.
• Puree the mixture in a food processor and pour into a large pot. Add the thyme, honey and salt and pepper to taste and set aside until just before serving time. Reheat over medium heat and pour into a large serving bowl. Garnish with garlic chips.

ROASTED TOMATO SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Wash, core and cut the tomatoes into halves. Spread the tomatoes, garlic cloves and onions onto a baking tray. If using vine cherry tomatoes for garnish, add them as well, leaving them whole and on the vine. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, or until caramelized.
• Remove roasted tomatoes, garlic and onion from the oven and transfer to a large stock pot (set aside the roasted vine tomatoes for later). Add 3/4 of the chicken stock, bay leaves, and butter. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until liquid has reduced by a third.
• Wash and dry basil leaves, if using, and add to the pot. Remove the bay leaves before using an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Return soup to low heat, add cream and adjust consistency with remaining chicken stock, if necessary. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish in bowl with 3 or 4 roasted vine cherry tomatoes and a splash of heavy cream.

OVEN ROASTED GARLIC & ONION SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (200c).
• 2. Slice the tops off of the garlic heads.
• 3. Chef's Note: Many people like garlic, but in moderation. The interesting thing is that when you bake garlic, it destroys the compound that gives the garlic its strong taste and smell; making it much milder and sweeter. When you choose a head of garlic, make sure it is firm and dry, without any discolored patches.
• 4. Place the garlic heads and onions, cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and drizzle with the olive oil.
• 5. Turn the onions, cut side down, but leave the garlic cut side up.
• 6. Place into the preheated oven, and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The garlic and onions should be nice and soft.
• 7. After they have cooled slightly, remove the garlic and the onions from their skins, and cut the onions in half. Essentially, you will have onion quarters.
• 8. Chef's Tip: The skins on the onions will come off easily, and then you can separate the baked onion layers. As for the garlic, you should be able to remove the individual cloves, and simply squeeze the flesh right out of its skin... It should pop right out.
• 9. Add the water and beef stock to a large pot, and then add in the potatoes, onions, garlic, thyme, and black pepper.
• 10. Cook for about twenty minutes, until the liquid begins to slightly thicken. Serve immediately.
• 11. Chef's Note: There is not a lot of extra spices added to this soup, and that's because we want the onions, and garlic to be the stars of the show.
• 12. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
