Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Peel and add 4 whole garlic cloves to the baking sheet.
Peel the yellow onion, cut it into quarters, and add it to the baking sheet.
Drizzle the tomatoes, garlic, and onion with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly.
Transfer the roasted tomatoes, garlic, and onion to a blender or food processor. Add 0.25 cup of fresh basil leaves and 3 cups of vegetable broth.
Blend until smooth, working in batches if necessary. Be careful when blending hot liquids.
Pour the blended soup into a large saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes until warmed through.
Optional: Stir in 0.25 cup of heavy cream for a richer texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh basil leaves, or a dollop of cream, if desired.
