Steps

1. 1⃣ Preheat oven to 400F.
2. 2⃣ Grab an oven safe dish or try. Toss in 4-4.5 pints of your favorite tomato. I like cherry tomatos best for this.
3. 3⃣ Roughly cut 1 large onion and 1 red bell pepper and add them to the tray.
4. 4⃣ Toss in half a garlic bulb or 6-10 garlic cloves.
5. 5⃣ Drizzle everything with 2 tbsp olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and sprinkle with 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp chili flakes, and 1 tbsp paprika. Toss well.
6. 6⃣ Pop into your oven for 60-70 mins at 400F. Keep an eye on it as ovens vary. When it’s done, carefully place all your veggies into a blender or large pot.
7. 7⃣ To the blender, to boost the protein add 1 full container chicken or beef bone broth, and 3 servings of cottage cheese, along with a huge handful of fresh basil. Basil is key!
8. 8⃣ Blend or use an immersion blender until silky smooth. Taste and adjust with more salt, pepper, fresh basil, as you like. Salt is very important to bringing out flavor.
9. 9⃣ Pour into bowls and enjoy hot as is, or you can drizzle some of your favorite hot sauce, some cream, or some basil oil or fresh basil!
