My Dad is Sick So I’m Cheering Him Up with His Favorite Grilled Tomato Soup!

Yeah, I guess you could say Captain Ron is feeling just a little under the weather

Just a light cold. Yeah, I guess you could say he's just feeling a little bit under the weather

But I'm really hoping this nice warm soup is going to cheer him right up

Let's get started. As you can see, we already have some charcoal left over in our grill from our last cook

I went ahead and I put two Fogo Fire starters in our blazer ball, set it right in the middle

We're going to go ahead and top it off with some fresh charcoal. While our grill is climbing up to temperature, I'm going to go ahead and start prepping our vegetables

I'm going to start by slicing my Roma tomatoes into four pieces and slicing my cherry tomatoes

in half. You don't have to use both, but the Roma tomatoes are my preferred tomato for almost everything

And I'm using sugar bomb tomatoes because I feel like their flavor is so much stronger

and you can get them almost year round. So as I slice my tomatoes, I'm going ahead and throwing them straight onto my half moon

roasting pan here. It's stainless steel. We actually sell it on the Fogo website

If you want to buy it, check the link below. We're going to drop the links to almost everything we use here in our description

I have a whole clove of garlic here. Now that our tomatoes are prepped, I'm going to go ahead and slice the top off of it

We're just going to place that somewhere right close in the middle. I'm going to put the top two just for extra flavor

Can't hurt. I'm going to be using four snack size peppers. Use as many as you want

I'm going to go ahead and slice up my onion. One thing I'm going to make sure I do is keep this part intact

This is the root of the onion and this is the part that's going to make you cry

They say cutting onions is hard. You know what's harder? Trying to get Captain Ron to take his medicine

We're just going to layer this throughout everything else. If it falls apart, that's fine

It's an onion. Onions have layers. I have a sprig of rosemary that I just pulled from our garden

I'm going to go ahead and just lay that on top. I also have some thyme. I'm going to go ahead and lay that on top as well

We're just going to go ahead and lay over everything with a healthy drizzle of olive oil

Now that our grill has come up to 375 degrees, we're going to go ahead and throw our veggies

on so they can roast. Let's throw them on. Now that our veggies have been roasting for about an hour, we're going to start assembling

our soup. We're going to start by sautéing some onions. We have a Ramertoff pan here on our portable skillet

It's been heating up to about medium-high heat. I'm going to go ahead and throw some butter into that

With the butter, I have some onions that I diced. I'm going to toss those in there as well

We're just going to sauté the onion until it's soft. Now that our veggies are done roasting, they're looking amazing and smelling even better

I'll tell you, everything smells so good, I think my dad might pretend to be sick just

a little bit longer, so I'll keep making soup for him. Now that we've sautéed our onion and it's nice and soft, we're going to go in and add

a tablespoon of tomato paste. Now that our tomato paste is nice and incorporated in with our softened onions, we're going to

go in and add all of our veggies from our roasting tray

We're going to go ahead and add in some chicken stock, a little bit of cayenne pepper, some

smoked paprika, a little balsamic vinegar. We're going to go in with a little bit of W sauce, some fresh basil, and our Lane's 50-50

salt and pepper mixture. Now that all of our ingredients are mixed together, we're going to go ahead and lower

the heat a little bit and let it simmer. Working at the car wash

Okay, sorry. Now that our veggies are done simmering, I'm going to go ahead and pull this lid off

We're going to go right in with our immersion blender, and we're just going to blend everything

right up until it's smooth and creamy. So once you're done blending it, this is just about how it should look

Our last and final step is just going to be adding our heavy cream

Now that we have our bowl of soup ready, let's go serve it up to my dad

All right, here we go. All right, Cap. I made you your favorite

Wow, look at that. Tomato soup. Oh, man. We have to find out together how it tastes

We're going to share a bowl of soup or I'm sick, huh? I haven't tried it yet, and you haven't either, so it's safe

Smells awesome. It actually really hits the spot. Really? Really good. I love it

Thank you, baby. Yes. Good parenting. Nice job, kid. So remember to get out and grill, and we'll see you next time on the FOGO Life
