Roasted Tomato Soup with fresh thyme

Method

1. Start by prepping your yellow onion, garlic, vegetable stock so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the leeks and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the roasted tomato, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the yellow onion along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the crushed tomatoes and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with cracked black pepper and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
