Ingredients

• 8 medium ripe tomatoes
• 1 large yellow onion
• 6 whole garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 0.5 cup heavy cream (optional)
• 4 slices crusty bread (for serving)
• 4 leaves fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the tomatoes in half and place them cut-side up on a large baking sheet.

Step 3

Peel and quarter the onion, and add it to the baking sheet with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Add the whole garlic cloves to the baking sheet, keeping the skins on to prevent burning.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly browned, and the onions are caramelized.

Step 7

Once roasted, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Peel the skins off the garlic cloves and discard them.

Step 8

Transfer the roasted tomatoes, onions, and peeled garlic to a large pot. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 9

Use an immersion blender (or carefully transfer to a countertop blender) to blend the soup until smooth. Leave some chunks if you prefer a more rustic texture.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream, if using, and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Simmer the soup for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 12

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve with slices of crusty bread on the side.
