Roasted Garlic and Tomato Soup

This roasted garlic and tomato soup is easy and delicious. I stated off looking at Plant You’s Roasted Garlic Tomato Soup and just used what I had on hand (listed below). A little peeling and chopping, roasting time in the oven and some help from

The kids’ Grandad Frank made congee whenever he was feeling under the weather. It was always delicious and the epitome of comfort food. I always use to make it in a rice cooker but we were at my folks’ place and they don’t have one.
