Ingredients

• 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, plus extra for garnish
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

How to Make Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. On a large baking sheet, arrange the halved tomatoes, chopped onion, and garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.
3. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and caramelized.
4. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool slightly. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor.
5. Add the vegetable broth, heavy cream, and fresh basil to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. If desired, add balsamic vinegar for an extra depth of flavor.
6. Pour the blended soup into a pot and heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose ripe tomatoes for maximum flavor.
• Don’t skip the roasting step; it intensifies the sweetness of the tomatoes.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes while blending.
• If the soup is too thick, add more vegetable broth until you reach your desired consistency.

Easy Variations

• For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or a cashew cream.
• Add in other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots during the roasting stage for added depth.
• Stir in some cooked pasta or rice for a heartier meal.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled cheese sandwiches for a classic pairing.
• Crusty bread or garlic bread for dipping.
• A fresh green salad for a light side.
• Roasted vegetables for extra nourishment.

Storage and Reheating

• Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• To reheat, warm gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally. You may need to add a splash of broth or cream to restore the desired consistency.
