Ingredients

  • 400 g tomatoes
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 large peppers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • a pinch of fresh lovage
  • a small bunch of fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon wine vinegar
  • 150 ml water
  • 2 tablespoons ricotta

Preparation

First prepare the roasted vegetables, which are very important ingredients in the soup for their rich, smoky flavor. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, line a baking sheet with baking paper, and place the halved tomatoes, chopped onions, and diced peppers on it side by side.

Sprinkle the vegetables with olive oil, and then with salt and chopped herbs. Add the unpeeled garlic to the other vegetables. Bake for 25-30 minutes until all ingredients are soft and begin to lightly caramelize.
