Roasted Grape Tomato Soup
Bubba Durand

You don't have to use grape tomatoes. Any sort of small, sweet grape or cherry tomato will work. If it's not summer, look for Nature Sweet "Cherub" grape tomatoes. They're a little pricey, but delicious even in the winter.

4 cups grape tomatoes
1 t olive oil
kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cup fat-free chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
4 T non-fat instant dry powdered milk
2 T parsley, chopped
1 T basil, slivered

Preheat oven to 400.
Combine tomatoes, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss to coat.
Lightly spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
Spread tomatoes evenly on the cookie sheet and roast for about 12 minutes or until golden and soft.
Stir in minced garlic and roast 5 more minutes.
Puree the mixture in a blender with the chicken broth.
Pour the tomato mixture into a large saucepan.
Bring to a gentle boil then let simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the powdered milk, basil, and parsley.
