Perfect Roasted Tomato Soup

It was New Years Day. It was raining, windy and cold. It was the kind of day when you just want to curl up in bed or on the sofa, be warm and disconnect from the outside world. So when I woke up that morning and looked outside, I decided to do that just. Sara Forte's lovely cookbook, "The Sprouted Kitchen" had a piece of real estate on my bed for the last few weeks. I grabbed it and flipped right to her roasted tomato soup. "Perfect," I thought. But I didn't have any tomatoes or parsley or crusty bakery bread. But I really wanted that soup. So I put jeans and a sweatshirt on over my pajamas, put my a hair in a scrunchie and said a quiet prayer that no one would see me at the grocery store. You've done that before right?? 

I came home, whipped up the soup, photographed it for you, then watched "The Words" starring Bradley Cooper. Hot, really good tomato soup, cheesy bread and a hawtttt guy on my TV screen. I must say it was a great first day of the year...
