Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a large baking sheet, arrange the halved ripe tomatoes, quartered onion, and peeled garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently.
- Roast the vegetables for 30–35 minutes until soft, blistered, and caramelized.
- Allow the roasted veggies to cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer the cooled roasted veggies into a blender. Add vegetable or chicken broth and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended soup back into a large pot and heat on medium. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes
Caramelization enhances sweetness; choose fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Let roasted veggies cool before blending to prevent splattering. Adjust creaminess with coconut milk for a vegan option.
