Fantabulous Tomato Soup
This is a fairly easy soup, although it might seem a little time consuming the result is well worth it. Depending on how thick you like your soup, you may need to add a little stock, i find it doesn't need it though..
Steps
Halve the tomatoes , and place in a baking tray with the bulb of garlic.
Sprinkle with dried herbs.
Season to taste.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake at 150c for around 2 to 3 hours.
Transfer to a stockpot , squeezing all the garlic out of its paper.

Voila.
