Scale
- 5 lbs small orange tomatoes {I used some reds for filler}
- 1 Tbsp red palm oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3" root of fresh turmeric, sliced into thin rounds
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 (14oz) can coconut milk
Instructions
- Rinse the tomatoes, and fill one large baking sheet with a single layer. Roast at 500F for about 5 minutes, or until blistery and starting to blacken. Remove. You can repeat with more trays if you want — I did about 1/2 of my total tomatoes.
- In a large soup pot over medium flame, heat the red palm oil before adding the onion and turmeric. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and the turmeric is softening — about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook for another minute before adding the vegetable stock and all of the tomatoes.
- Let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, until all of the tomatoes have burst.
- Using a hand blender, puree the entire batch of soup until very smooth. If needed, process through a sieve for a smoother texture.
- Return to the stove over low heat and add the coconut milk. Add salt and pepper to taste, and bring up to heat before serving.
