Ingredients

• 8 pieces Roma tomatoes
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Grated Romano cheese
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper
• 0 optional Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and place them, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Add the peeled garlic cloves to the baking sheet. Drizzle the tomatoes and garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the tomatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

While the tomatoes are roasting, dice the yellow onion.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.

Step 7

Once the tomatoes and garlic are roasted, add them to the pot with the onion. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, and sugar.

Step 8

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 9

Using an immersion blender (or carefully transferring the soup to a blender in batches), blend the soup until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Return the soup to low heat if needed, and stir in the heavy cream and grated Romano cheese until fully incorporated and the cheese has melted.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired. Pair with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich for a complete meal.
