Roasted tomato and broccoli soup

When the oven is on I like to make use of the lower shelf so I always bake  some veggies for meals ahead. Last weekend I roasted some tomatoes, onion and garlic  so I made this vegan, and gluten-free roasted tomato and broccoli soup a couple days later. The soup is super healthy, low-carb and can be low-cal if you use oil-spray.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium tomatoes
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 garlic bulb
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 200 g broccoli
  • 750 ml vegetable stock
  • 1 small bunch fresh coriander or parsley

Method
 

  1. Cut the tomatoes, onion and garlic in half, then put them in a baking dish (facing upwards). Drizzle or spray with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Put the tray in a preheated oven (temperature set to 180°C), and roast for approx. 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Set aside.
  3. Discard the skin of the onion ang garlic cloves, then put their flesh into a saucepan. Add the tomatoes and the roasting jus too.
  4. Roughly cut the broccoli (including the stem) into chunks, add these to the pan, then pour in the stock. Bring to the boil and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the broccoli is cooked through.
  5. Turn off the heat and add the parsley. Using a stick blender, whiz the soup until you get a smooth or textured soup (depending on your liking).
  6. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.
