Hello, gorgeous!

It’s a day to be cozy indoors and I just made a roasted tomato soup that turned out wonderfully!
I watch about a hundred cooking videos each day on Instagram and I’m lucky to make any of them!  But today, all of that changed!
If you like tomato soup, this is the best! You can do a Google search for a roasted tomato soup recipe, but here are the basics.
I had a bunch of tomatoes sitting on the counter, long enough that I was going to start charging them rent. So, I took about eight little Campari tomatoes and three regular larger tomatoes and cut them in half and put them in a prepared baking dish. Then, I added a quartered onion and a head of garlic that I took the top off of. I drizzled olive oil on all of that and stuck it in a 375° oven, for 45 minutes.
Once out of the oven, I put the contents in a blender and added about 2 cups of chicken broth, about 3 tablespoons of pesto and a cup of milk. I puréed that and, voila!  Tomato soup for queens!  Some good croutons and crumbled feta cheese would have been a nice addition on top, but I’m not complaining.

Now on to the important stuff!
