    Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

    http://theslowroasteditalian.com
    3 pounds Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise 
    1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 
    2 tablespoons kosher salt, divided 
    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
    1 medium sweet onion, diced 
    4 garlic cloves, minced 
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter 
    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 
    2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes 
    2 tablespoons dried basil leaves 
    1 tablespoon Italian seasoning 
    2 (14.5 ounce) cans reduced sodium chicken broth 
    Preheat the oven to 400°F. 
    In a large bowl, toss together the tomatoes, 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper. Spread the tomatoes in 1 layer on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes. 
    In an 8-quart stockpot over medium heat, melt butter. Add the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook until the onions start to brown, about 10 minutes.

    ****THIS IS FOR YOU TINA๐ŸŠ

    Ingredients

    • 4 small oranges I used tangelos
    • 4 cups water
    • 2 cups granulated sugar plus more for coating

    Instructions

    1. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside.

    2. Add the 4 cups water to a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the orange slices. Boil for 1 minutes. Transfer the orange slices to the bowl of ice water. Use a ladle to set aside 2 cups of the water used for boiling and discard the rest.

    3. In a large pot or skillet, add the 2 cups reserved water and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.

    4. Turn the heat to medium-low and arrange the orange slices in a single layer. Simmer for 45-60 minutes or until rinds are slightly translucent. Swirl the slices in the pan every 15 minutes to make sure they are evenly coated with the sugar water.

    5. Transfer the slices to a cooling rack set over a large baking sheet. Let them sit for up to 24 hours or until dry. 

    6. Dip the candied orange slices in granulated sugar, if desired. Use immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
