Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Halve or quarter tomatoes if you are using large ones (you can leave cherry tomatoes whole). Spread them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet along with the sliced onion and the 6 smashed cloves of garlic. Drizzle with the olive oil (2 tablespoons) and season with kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon) and pepper (1/4 teaspoon). Bake at 425 degrees F for 30 minutes (see notes).
- Meanwhile, heat up chicken stock (2 cups) in a large pot on the stove.
- Add roasted tomatoes/onions/garlic to the warm chicken stock, along with the entire jar of roasted red peppers. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot (or a standing blender in batches).
- OPTIONAL: Use a mesh sieve to strain the soup into another pot or large container, using a wooden spoon to squeeze as much liquid out as possible. Discard solids left behind. This will result in a very smooth, bisque-like soup.
- Stir in heavy cream (1/4 cup). Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with croutons, fresh basil, more cream, and black pepper, if desired.

Notes
- The longer you roast the tomatoes, the more flavorful they will be. You can roast them for longer at a cooler temperature. Try an hour at 350 degrees, or even 2-3 hours at 300 degrees, depending on how much time you have available (but keep an eye on them so they don't cook too much!).
- Prep ahead: you can roast the tomatoes up to 3 days in advance and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
- Make it vegan: omit the cream, or use full-fat canned coconut milk as an alternative.
- Freeze it: this soup is great to make in bulk because it freezes beautifully. Store it in an airtight container for up to 6 months in your freezer. Run hot water over the container to loosen it a bit, and pop the whole block of frozen soup into a pot to defrost directly on the stovetop when you're ready to eat it.
