- 2 lbs ripe tomatoes halved
- 1 medium onion quartered
- 4 cloves garlic peeled
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar optional
- 1/2 cup heavy cream optional
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Vegetables: Arrange the tomato halves (cut side up), onion quarters, and garlic cloves on a large baking sheet.
Season and Roast: Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are caramelized and the onions are tender.
Blend the Soup: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the fresh basil leaves.
Puree the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a creamier texture, add the heavy cream at this stage and blend again.
Season to Taste: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and optional sugar if needed.
Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with a few fresh basil leaves. Enjoy with a slice of crusty bread on the side for the perfect meal.
