Homemade Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional for creaminess)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the quartered tomatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are caramelized and the onions are soft.
  4. Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a large pot.
  5. Add the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. Stir in the fresh basil leaves and let them wilt for a minute. If you like a creamier soup, this is the time to add the heavy cream.
  7. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it’s smooth (or carefully transfer to a blender in batches). Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar if desired.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with a few fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil if you like. Enjoy!
