In this soup recipe, plain tomato is made more flavorful with roasted garlic, and more filling with hearty black beans.
Keeping an eye on healthy eating usually leads to one thing in my kitchen – soup.
I have loads of frozen tomatoes waiting to be used, but chili wasn’t sounding right. I needed something more exciting than the basic tomato soup, too.
I’ve come to realize that a head of creamy, sweet roasted garlic makes just about everything better. This soup is no exception. Along with the garlic, I added some black beans for texture and protein.
This soup is sweet, rich and hearty all at the same time. I used about a gallon bag full of mixed frozen tomatoes from the garden. Skin on, whole tomatoes. It all gets blended by the immersion blender so leaving everything intact isn’t a problem for me. You can use whatever you have on hand – frozen, fresh, canned, whole, puree – it will all ultimately result in a tasty soup!

As soon as the Philly marathon is over, soup is definitely going to become a staple around here! This sounds absolutely addictive with the roasted garlic…the perfect flavor addition!
Hi there. Food on Friday: Tomatoes is open for entries. This looks like a neat one! I do hope you link it in. This is the link . Cheers
Love the recipe using frozen tomatoes…I get tired of processing all of my extra cherry type tomatoes so I bag them and slam them into the freezer…The only thing I hate though are all of the seeds which these small, sweet and precious tomatoes have…otherwise…cherry type tomato mixes will always be a staple in my home whether canned, dehydrated or frozen and a gift from the Almighty through out all of my veggie and flowerbeds and chicken run and dog pen…you get the idea…lol
