Roasted Tomato Soup

This soup is healthy and quick to make. I,usually have a container of roasted tomato puree  stocked in the freezer.  

To make the roasted tomato. Take a kilo or two of firm, ripe and large tomatoes. Make a cross cut on the top of  each tomato. Place it in a baking tray along with a bulb of garlic.  Sprinkle vegetable or olive oil and  roasted it in a oven at 180 degree C for 15 to 20 mins. Cool and puree. You can use this puree to prepare soups, sauces and also for gravies.
