A comforting bowl of creamy roasted tomato and garlic soup bursting with rich, caramelized flavors. This velvety blend of roasted tomatoes, garlic, and onion, finished with a touch of cream, makes for a perfect starter or light meal any time of the year.

 

Ingredients

– 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, halved

– 1 head garlic, halved horizontally

– 1 large onion, quartered

– 2 tbsp olive oil

– Salt and pepper, to taste

– 4 cups vegetable broth

– 1/2 cup heavy cream (or cream alternative)

– Optional: 1 tsp sugar (to balance acidity)

– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Arrange the tomatoes, garlic halves, and onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

3. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the vegetables are softened and caramelized.

4. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic from its skins and add it to the pot.

5. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

6. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth (or transfer in batches to a blender).

7. Stir in the heavy cream and gently heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding sugar if needed.

8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.

 

Notes

– For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or a plant-based cream alternative.

– Roasting enhances the natural sweetness of the tomatoes; adjust salt and sugar according to your taste preference.

– This soup pairs well with a crusty bread or a light salad.
