COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Grilled Tomato Soup

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Toss onion, carrots, bell pepper, and tomatoes separately in canola oil to taste. Be sure to use at least enough oil to prevent the vegetable from burning too quickly.
Place tomatoes, bell pepper, carrots, and onion each in their own sections on the grill. Turn tomatoes every 5 minutes, they’ll take about 30 minutes to cook. The onion, carrots, and bell pepper should be flipped after 5 to 7 minutes, then cooked for another 5 mins or so, or until lightly charred and beginning to get tender. The garlic should be taken off after about 10 minutes and not be flipped.
Once tomatoes are removed from grill, peel skin and discard (be careful not to burn your fingers). Set aside.
Set a large pot on the grill’s sideburner set to high heat. Be sure to adjust heat as needed throughout the cooking process.
Add ¼ cup olive oil to pot. Add grilled onion, carrots, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 mins, or until veggies are properly softened.
Add tomatoes to pot and cook for 10 mins, or until tomatoes are tender and able to be crushed with spatula. Be sure to crush tomatoes as well as you can.
Add remaining ingredients (except heavy cream) and stir until well-combined. Let simmer for another 5 mins.
Using an immersion blender, blend soup until smooth. Stir in heavy cream and bring back to simmer. Lower burner heat to low until ready to serve. Enjoy!
