Homemade Roasted Tomato Soup

OK, so our tastebuds are going crazy right now at our house.  We have this Homemade Roasted Tomato Soup simmering on the stove AND the chili recipe (see post below) simmering in the slow cooker all at the same time.   Oh, the lovely aroma(s)!!    

CLICK here for soup recipe and see post just below for chili.

PS - we did not use the heavy cream in the soup (its totally awesome without it!).
PPS - we quadrupled most ingredients (celery, carrots, tomatoes, etc) to make more because we eat a lot of this!

Compliments to my friend, Trina, for the recipe share.
