Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
- 6 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 3 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream (optional)
- N/A Crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
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. Add the cherry tomatoes to the sheet as well.
Peel the garlic cloves and add them whole to the baking sheet. Peel and quarter the yellow onion and place the pieces on the sheet.
Drizzle the tomatoes, garlic, and onion with the olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Toss gently to coat.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized, and the garlic is tender.
Once roasted, carefully transfer the vegetables (along with any juices from the baking sheet) to a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chicken or vegetable stock to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the pot from heat, and using an immersion blender, purée the soup until smooth or leave slightly chunky for a more rustic texture. Alternatively, you can use a countertop blender in batches (be cautious with hot liquids).
Chop the fresh basil leaves and stir them into the soup. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
For a creamier texture, stir in the heavy cream just before serving, if desired.
Serve hot with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich on the side for a complete meal.
