Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds fresh tomatoes (Roma or vine-ripened)
- 4–5 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 medium yellow onion, quartered
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
- A handful of fresh basil, torn or roughly chopped
- Optional: ½ cup cream or coconut cream for added richness
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Halve the tomatoes and quarter the onion. Place them on the baking sheet along with the garlic cloves.
- Drizzle olive oil over the veggies and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Bake the vegetables for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized. The garlic should be golden and fragrant.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender, along with the vegetable broth. Blend until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use an immersion blender directly in the pot.
- Pour the soup into a large pot and heat over medium-low heat. Stir in fresh basil and optional cream, if using. Let it simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or additional basil as needed.
- Serve the soup warm with crusty bread or a gooey grilled cheese sandwich.
