Ingredients
  

2 lbs ripe tomatoes (such as Roma or beefsteak), halved

1 whole bulb of garlic

1 medium onion, chopped

1 carrot, diced

1 celery stalk, diced

4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Optional: 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk for added creaminess

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Tomatoes and Garlic: On a large baking sheet, arrange the halved tomatoes with their cut sides facing up. Drizzle them generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, dried basil, and oregano. For the garlic, slice off the top of the whole bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, wrap it securely in aluminum foil, and place it on the baking sheet alongside the tomatoes.

      Roast the Vegetables: Roast the tomatoes and garlic in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes. The tomatoes should be slightly caramelized, and the garlic will be soft and fragrant. Begin checking the garlic at 25 minutes to prevent burning.

        Sauté the Vegetables: Meanwhile, while the tomatoes and garlic are roasting, heat a large pot over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then incorporate the chopped onion, diced carrot, and diced celery. Sauté these aromatics until the vegetables are softened and the onion turns translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

          Combine the Ingredients: Once the tomatoes and garlic are done roasting, carefully squeeze the soft garlic out of the skins and add both the roasted tomatoes and garlic to the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

            Simmer and Infuse: Allow the soup to simmer on low heat for approximately 15-20 minutes to let all the flavors meld beautifully.

              Blend Until Smooth: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches your desired smoothness. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the mixture in batches to a traditional blender—just be cautious with the hot liquid.

                Creamy (Optional): For a richer, creamier texture, stir in heavy cream or coconut milk and allow it to warm through on low heat for an additional 5 minutes.

                  Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Sample your soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavors.

                    Serve & Enjoy: Ladle the warm soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil if desired. This soup pairs perfectly with crusty bread or grilled cheese for a comforting and satisfying meal!
