{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Creamy Tomato-Balsamic Soup

 

Today is PROBABLY going to be our last day for this season at the ice cream store.  We're about down to one day's worth of mix.  After we close, I always take all our left over ice cream sandwiches, dilly bars, buster bars, etc. to our local police/fire complex.  They probably look forward to us closing.  LOL
I'll be working there until 2 or 3, then running to Cape Girardeau (8 miles away) to run some errands for daughter and price a new dishwasher.  Ours is apparently in the process of dying and since it's about 15 years old, might be better to buy a new one.  Will keep you up to date.  It's quite brisk here today, with a wind chill of about 30º.  I hope all of you have a fantastic Monday!

Cooking the vegetables at the high temperature of 500° caramelizes their natural sugars and deepens their flavor; the liquid poured over them ensures they won't burn. Prepare the soup up to two days ahead; reheat over medium heat before serving.

Yield:  4 servings (serving size: about 1/2 cup)
Ingredients
1 cup less-sodium beef broth, divided
