Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs fresh tomatoes (Roma or vine-ripened), halved
1 whole head of garlic
1 small onion, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for dairy-free option)
¼ cup fresh basil leaves
Salt and black pepper to taste
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place halved tomatoes on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cut off the top of the garlic head, drizzle with oil, wrap in foil, and place alongside tomatoes. Roast for about 30-35 minutes.
In a large pot over medium heat, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté chopped onions until soft (about 5 minutes).
Squeeze roasted garlic into the pot along with roasted tomatoes. Pour in broth and add fresh basil leaves. Blend until smooth using an immersion blender.
Return blended soup to low heat and stir in heavy cream (or coconut milk). Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil or a drizzle of cream.
