oh the soup recipe

i didn’t ever finish the tale of the soup!
I started telling it here:
halved the [tomatoes] (cutting out the bad spots; they were a bit past best) and threw them onto some jelly roll pans (sheet pans with edges, v important) along with a handful of halved onions, two heads of garlic I’d pulled the cloves out of and stripped them, and– this is the good bit– about six carrots I’d sliced fairly finely. Threw those into the oven to roast for like an hour at 400 degrees.
and then I just– never came back to it. LOL thanks for asking after it,

entings, who Tumblr won’t let me tag, alas.
So anyway once your tomatoes are kinda browned a bit on top, however long that took, you just dump all that into a saucepan, stir it really well, optionally put it in a blender or use an immersion blender on it, and decide if it’s thick enough. You want it real thick, so boil it down a bit if it’s not. Add salt to taste– I forgot to say I’d thrown some salt on the tomatoes before I threw them in the oven but at any point you can put it in.
I threw in a handful of fresh thyme and basil, let it sit a while, and then fished the herbs out, and then I added like a quart of whole milk to it to thin it back out. Heat through but don’t boil once the milk’s in.
And that was lunch, with some good bread and butter on the side. It was so good!
Sorry for the utter lack of quantities here. That’s how I cook, I can’t fucking read directions anymore so everything I make has to be similar to something I’ve done before so I can just do it until it’s about right and stop there, which is terrible for writing recipes and I’m sorry for it, but– you know what tomato soup is supposed to look like, right? So make it be like that. (Your picture was not posted)
