Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 pounds green tomatoes, quartered
- 2 medium onions, quartered
- 5 cloves garlic
- 4 cups kale, chopped
Other Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup broth (vegetable or chicken broth)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables.
- Prepare Vegetables for Roasting: Spread the quartered green tomatoes on a sheet pan, nestling in the quartered onions and whole garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
- Roast and Flip: Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes, then remove the pan and flip the tomatoes to ensure even caramelization. Continue roasting for another 15 minutes until the tomatoes are browned and caramelized.
- Simmer Kale and Broth: While the vegetables roast, place the chopped kale and broth in a pot over low heat. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes to soften the greens.
- Blend Soup: Once the vegetables have roasted, transfer them to a blender along with the simmered kale and broth. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the soup hot, garnished with a generous drizzle of olive oil, freshly cracked black pepper, and optional parsley sauce for added freshness.
