Grilled Ratatouille Soup

was what was for dinner tonight!  I adapted it from a Rachael Ray recipe (she made it on her show the other day).

Basically I took some eggplant (2 small ones), zucchini (2 small ones), and a red onion and grilled it all up.  (I used my grill pan because we didn’t have any charcoal for the outside grill)

Then when that was done, I whirred it all together in the food processor (in three batches- too much for one batch, it would have overflowed) with 2 small cans of fire roasted tomatoes, 2 cups of chicken broth, a head of roasted garlic (which I made ahead of time), and some roasted red peppers.

Look at this roasted garlic- so good!  (and so easy to make…cut off one end of a head of garlic, drizzle with EVOO, wrap in foil, bake at 425 for 45 mins)

Put it all in a pot and heat it through.

SO GOOD!!  The recipe says it serves 4, but we’ll get about 6 or 7 servings out of the batch.  I can’t imagine how big the serving would be if we just got 4 servings out of the batch!

Look at this!

It needed a little salt, but perfect otherwise!  Served with a grilled cheese.  Made on the grill pan as well because I didn’t want to get another pan dirty.

Back to studying!  Night!
