Ingredients
  

2 lbs ripe tomatoes, halved

1 medium onion, quartered

4 cloves garlic, unpeeled

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a vegan option)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions
 

Roast the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large baking dish, place the halved tomatoes, quartered onion, and unpeeled garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme, and basil. Toss to coat all the veggies evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the tomatoes are caramelized and the onions are soft.

    Squeeze and Peel Garlic: Once the vegetables are out of the oven and slightly cooled, carefully squeeze the garlic from its skins into a large pot.

      Blend the Soup: Add the roasted tomatoes and onions to the pot, along with any juices from the baking dish. Pour in the vegetable broth and balsamic vinegar. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, purée the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, make sure to blend in batches and allow the mixture to cool slightly to avoid splattering.

        Stir in Cream: Place the blended soup back on low heat. Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk) until fully combined. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

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