Good morning and happy Sunday!

I'm back with a super tasty recipe today that I'm so excited to share with all of you!

Not only do I have this soup recipe to share, but I'm including tons of recipe links from my Sunday Supper blogging friends. All of these recipes use fresh tomatoes and are oh, so good!

Today is a day I could use a big bowl of soup like this. I've been fighting a cold all week and after work last night, I've completely lost my voice 😳

I work at a really amazing non-profit, Promise Neighborhood of Central Minnesota and every other Friday evening we have our Youth Night program. After chatting with parents and kids all evening, I woke up this morning and couldn't talk at all.

It's all worth it, of course! We provide educational mentoring and tutoring, arts, games, food and so much more for low income youth in our community! It's seriously a blast and I feel so blessed to be able to work there. Plus, I get to plan the menu for the kids there and we all know how much I love food!

Rustic Dill Tomato Soup

by Sheena

Ingredients

2 pounds roma tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup carrots, chopped
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2- 14.5 ounce cans diced tomatoes
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
2 teaspoons sugar
1 heaping tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread the tomatoes on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes.

Cool slightly, then remove tomato skins.

In a large saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the carrot, onion, celery and garlic, and saute for 4-5 minutes, stirring often.

Add the diced tomatoes, roasted tomatoes, broth, sugar and dill, then increase heat slightly and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Use an immersion blender and puree soup until you reach a thick, chunky consistency.

Season with salt and pepper as needed and serve with croutons, crusty bread or crackers.

Should I strain my homemade tomato soup? ›

I find it unnecessary and also time-consuming to strain the soup through a fine-mesh strainer.

Also, leaving in the skin and bits of pulp will keep the added fiber and other nutrients in the soup.
