Roasted Tomato-Squash Soup
Description
In a quest to cater to my mom’s unique dietary needs, I embarked on a culinary adventure to create a vibrant, vegetable-packed soup that is both comforting and nourishing. This Roasted Tomato-Squash Soup showcases the rich flavors of fresh tomatoes and squash, enhanced by aromatic herbs and spices. For those who may have difficulty locating shrimp bouillon, I recommend checking the Mexican food section of your local grocery store for Knorr’s caldo de camarón or using shrimp or fish stock for a delightful twist.

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature will ensure that the tomatoes and squash roast to perfection, bringing out their natural sweetness.
-
-
Prepare the Baking Dish: In an ovenproof baking dish, arrange the tomatoes cut side up. Add the garlic cloves, fresh basil leaves, and chopped squash to the dish. Drizzle everything generously with olive oil, allowing the flavors to mingle beautifully.
-
Roasting: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour, until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized, and the squash is tender.
-
Transfer to Pot: After roasting, carefully transfer the contents of the baking dish into a large pot. Add the shrimp bouillon cube, turmeric, salt, and comino to the mixture.
-
Cooking: Stir everything together and cook over medium heat for an additional 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to heat through.
-
Serve: Once done, let the soup cool slightly before serving it in bowls. This vibrant soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
