Ingredients That Make You Dance!
- 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, halved
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried basil (fresh is fine if you’re feeling fancy)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, but why not live a little?)
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Cooking Directions: Let’s Get This Party Started!
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (that’s right, preheat it! We want a toasty love for our tomatoes).
- On a baking sheet, toss those halved tomatoes, chopped onion, and garlic cloves with olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried basil. Make sure they’re all cozy and coated!
- Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and have caramelized a bit—cue the heavenly aromas!
- Once roasted, plop those veggies into a large pot and add the vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil while you admire the wonderful colors.
- Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This is prime bonding time for those ingredients!
- Now, for the fun part: take an immersion blender and blend until smooth! If you’re fancy, use a regular blender but watch out—you don’t want to wear the soup as a recent fashion statement!
- If you’re in the mood for some creaminess, stir in the heavy cream now. Bring it back to heat without boiling and taste for seasoning.
- Serve hot, garnishing with fresh basil because it’s always a good idea to add a green touch. Plus, it looks super chic!
And there you have it—a simple, delicious roasted tomato soup that’s sure to warm your heart and maybe even your humor. Get that bread ready for dipping because this soup is ready to shine on your dinner table. Enjoy!
