🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 8 medium ripe tomatoes
• 1 large yellow onion
• 6 whole garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Cut the tomatoes in half and place them cut-side up on a large baking sheet.

3. Peel and quarter the onion, and add it to the baking sheet with the tomatoes.

4. Add the whole garlic cloves to the baking sheet, keeping the skins on to prevent burning.

5. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.

6. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly browned, and the onions are caramelized.

7. Once roasted, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Peel the skins off the garlic cloves and discard them.

8. Transfer the roasted tomatoes, onions, and peeled garlic to a large pot. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

9. Use an immersion blender (or carefully transfer to a countertop blender) to blend the soup until smooth. Leave some chunks if you prefer a more rustic texture.

10. Stir in the heavy cream, if using, and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

11. Simmer the soup for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

12. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve with slices of crusty bread on the side.
