Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 1 piece Garlic bulb
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 6 pieces Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Peel off the outer layers of the garlic bulb, keeping the cloves intact. Cut off the top of the bulb to expose the tops of the cloves. Wrap the garlic bulb in aluminum foil, leaving the top slightly open for ventilation.
Place the wrapped garlic on the baking sheet with the tomatoes.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the tomatoes and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the tomatoes and garlic in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized and the garlic is golden and fragrant.
While the tomatoes and garlic roast, dice the yellow onion.
In a large pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Remove the roasted tomatoes and garlic from the oven. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.
Add the roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, sautéed onions, tomato paste, and vegetable broth to the pot.
Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a countertop blender and blend until smooth.
Return the soup to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the sugar, salt, black pepper, and heavy cream.
Simmer for 5–7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves, and enjoy!
