Ingredients

  • 1 large cookie sheet filled with tomatoes sliced in half approximately 7-10 tomatoes depending on size
  • 2 small onions
  • 1-2 jalapenos to taste
  • 8 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup total fresh basil oregano and thyme (if using dried, 1/2 tablespoon each)
  • 3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 3 bratwursts or spicy sausages
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 4 slices bread
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage optional
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Chop up all the tomatoes, onion and jalapenos and spread over a nonstick cookie sheet. Coat lightly with olive oil and season with pepper liberally, toss to coat all sides.
  • Roast at 400 degrees till browned and bubbly (around 30-40 minutes) stirring once or twice.
  • Heat stock with fresh herbs and garlic
  • In a large pan cook the sausages over medium high heat until cooked through (the skins on some may begin to burst). Remove from heat and slice into 1 inch slices.
  • Add sausage and all pan drippings to stock.
  • Add roasted vegetables to stock and simmer gently for 20 minutes or longer. If desired puree some of the vegetables with an immersion blender-we like it chunky personally.
  • Mix the sage with butter and butter both sides of the bread, add cheese and cook over medium heat on both sides until crispy. Chop into bite-size pieces.
  • Just before serving add heavy cream to the soup. Do not boil!
  • Top with grilled cheese croutons and fresh basil, enjoy!
