Make Spicy Roasted Tomato and Corn Soup

Im always conflicted about hot soup during the summer time. Is this something we want to eat? I usually veer on the side of no. But a few days ago, it was gloomy with mild temperatures in LA and the tomatoes and corn at the market were screaming to be combined. I figured it was the perfect time to break out a soup recipe Ive been wanting to try. Im pretty excited about this one.

Im sitting here eating this bowl of soupthis one, the soup that is pictured and I cannot stop eating it. Its the best of summer, all roasted together and blended which results in a soup that is light and sweet and spicy and, well, so delicious.

I used heirloom tomatoes but really a lot of varietals would work well, like vine ripe or beefsteak. The tomatoes and corn are roasted together. Get ready for your house to smell ultra delicious. The soup is cooked with all sorts of spices and peppers that add some nice layers to this soup.

Fun tip: if you have any leftover soup, dont throw it out. Cook up some pasta. Put the sauce in a saucepan and cook it until it reduces by nearly half. Toss it with some pasta and garnish with lots of parmesan. YUM!
