Today was the day to deal with the fresh fruits and vegetables that are overflowing from my refrigerator. I had a mix of tomatoes from my garden and the market that must not go to waste. They became this rustic tomato soup now stowed away in my freezer for school lunches.
Rustic Tomato Soup
2 lb tomatoes, whatever you have
2 cloves garlic

Slice tomatoes in half and place cut side up on a lightly greased baking sheet. Generously season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Wrap garlic cloves in foil and place on baking sheet with tomatoes.
Roast at 400F for about 20 minutes or until tomatoes begin to carmelize.
