Ingredients
For the soup:
- 1 garlic bulb (top sliced off, exposing cloves)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp tomato concentrate (adds deep umami flavor)
- 1 onion (quartered)
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves (about 1 oz)
- 3.5 lb mixed fresh tomatoes (halved or quartered depending on size, for even roasting)
- 1 tsp honey (balances acidity of the tomatoes)
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- black pepper
- kosher salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (I use Organic Valley heavy cream, for richness)
For serving:
- toasted grilled cheese sandwich
- balsamic glaze
- crusty bread
- burrata (creamy and decadent)
Step 1: Roast the Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
In a dutch oven or casserole dish, add tomatoes, onions, and garlic.
Drizzle generously with olive oil, ensuring all the vegetables are well-coated.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until they are soft and lightly browned.
Step 2: Blend the Soup Base
Once the vegetables are roasted, use a stick blender directly in the dutch oven or casserole dish to blend the vegetables until smooth.
Alternatively, carefully transfer all the ingredients into a countertop blender.
Add tomato paste and fresh basil to the mixture and blend until smooth.
Step 3: Add Additional Ingredients and Blend
To the blended soup base, add honey, broth, and heavy cream as desired for sweetness, depth, and creaminess.
Blend again until everything is well incorporated.
If needed, return the soup to the heat to warm it up.
Step 4: Serve the Soup
Scoop the warm soup into bowls.
Sprinkle each serving with fresh basil for garnish.
For a complete and cozy meal, serve the soup with grilled cheese, fresh burrata, crusty bread, and a drizzle of balsamic reduction.
