Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Put the tomatoes and bell peppers on a sheet pan skin side up along with the onion and garlic. Lightly salt and pepper it before drizzling 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top. Put a few sprigs of fresh Thyme on top then put the pan in the oven and bake 45 minutes to an hour or until lightly charred.

While the tomatoes and peppers are baking, warm two tablespoons of olive oil and the tomato paste. Once that is mixed well, add in the 6 cups of stock and mix well once again. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Once the tomatoes and peppers are done, put them in a blender a few at a time and pulse until everything is thoroughly mixed and smooth. Add to pot then continue process until all tomatoes, peppers, onions and garlic have been mixed. Juice that was left in the pan should be used as well. Finely chop a few leaves of Thyme, Basil, and Parsley and add to soup.

***Thyme that was in the roasting pan should have been removed and thrown away.

Warm soup thoroughly then serve.
