Ingredients
  

For the soup

  • 2 lbs Roma or San Marzano tomatoes Ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • 1 medium yellow or white onion Cut into wedges.
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic Peeled and whole.
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Enhances flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream For a creamy texture.
  • 1 cup fresh basil Chopped, for flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust to preference.
  • Red pepper flakes optional, to taste For added spiciness.

Instructions
 

Roasting

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Spread halved tomatoes, onion wedges, and peeled garlic on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and mix everything with your hands.
  • Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized at the edges.

Blending and Serving

  • Scrape the roasted vegetables and all juices into a large pot.
  • Add the fresh basil and a dash of cream, then blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Heat the soup on low until warmed through, then serve.

Notes

For a velvety texture, use an immersion blender. If the soup is too thick, stir in some vegetable broth. This soup freezes well for up to 3 months.
