Ingredients
- 2 pounds of ripe tomatoes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 cups of vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the tomatoes in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for about 30-40 minutes, until the tomatoes are caramelized and tender.
In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil until soft and fragrant. Add the roasted tomatoes and vegetable broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
Using an immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a blender, blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until heated through.
Serve hot with a garnish of fresh basil leaves. This soup is perfect on its own or served with a side of crusty bread.
