Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large ripe tomatoes
- 1 large fennel bulb
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 4 slices crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the tomatoes into halves and place them on a large baking sheet, cut side up.
Trim and slice the fennel bulb into 1/2-inch thick wedges and place them onto the baking sheet.
Peel and quarter the onion, then add it to the baking sheet along with the whole garlic cloves.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the vegetables and sprinkle with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes and fennel are softened and slightly caramelized.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor (or use an immersion blender in a soup pot). Blend until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into a large pot and stir in the vegetable broth. Adjust the consistency as desired by adding more broth if needed.
Bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve with slices of crusty bread, if desired.
