Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole. Place them on the same baking sheet.
Peel and quarter the onion, separating the layers slightly, and add them to the baking sheet.
Drizzle the tomatoes, garlic, and onion with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
Remove the veggies from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to a blender or food processor.
Add the roasted vegetables to the blender along with 2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock. Blend until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into a large pot over medium heat. Add the remaining stock and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Optional: Stir in the heavy cream for a creamier texture, and heat through without boiling.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot with crusty bread if desired.
