Crockpot Roasted Tomato Soup

There are many health benefits from tomatoes, and I cannot mention enough for my readers to consume tomatoes daily, especially, cooked tomatoes. Go to this website http://www.whfoods.com to learn more about healthy eating tomatoes. I created this tomato soup using a crackpot to make cooking healthy food much easier. I also use some vegetables such as carrot, daikon and even corn to this soup to make it completely vegan and gluten free...

Ingredients:

2 lbs. tomatoes cut into wedges

1/2 onion, cut into big slices

3 garlic cloves, shelled

2 tbs olive oil

1 tsp salt

Others;

1 cup water

1 carrot, sliced

1 piece of daikon, cubed

1 celery stalk, sliced

1/2 cup corn

2 bay leaves

1 tsp herb Devonne

Directions;

Place tomatoes, garlic, and onion on a baking sheet; Drizzle with oil and salt. Bake in preheated oven set for 350° for 20 minutes.

In a crockpot, place roasted tomato mixture with the rest of ingredients and cook for 4 hours.

Use handheld blender to blend the soup to smooth. Season the soup before serving. Sugar can be added to subdue some acid from tomato.

The sound of silence

The sound of silence 

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach to you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
in the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
