Ingredients
2 pounds fresh tomatoes (Roma or vine-ripened)
1 large yellow onion
2 whole garlic bulbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 sprigs fresh thyme
6 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice tomatoes in half, quarter the onion, and slice tops off garlic bulbs to expose cloves.
2. Place tomatoes, onion, and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and add thyme sprigs. Roast for 40-45 minutes.
3. Remove from oven. Squeeze roasted garlic out of skins into a large pot. Add roasted tomatoes and onions, discard thyme stems.
4. Pour in vegetable stock and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Transfer mixture to blender in batches or use immersion blender. Blend until smooth.
6. Return blended soup to pot. Stir in heavy cream. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes. Keep warm and serve.
Notes
Roast the vegetables until deeply caramelized for maximum flavor.
Use a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven to prevent burning while simmering.
For a vegan version, substitute the cream with coconut milk or cashew cream.
