Report
Made with roasted tomatoes, onions, garlic and fresh basil, this homemade soup is extremely flavourful and nourishing.

Ingredients
- 4 medium (420g approx) tomatoes cut in half
- 4-5 garlic cloves peeled
- ½ (40g) yellow onion
- 2-3 tablespoon olive oil
- pinch salt
- pinch cracked black pepper
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste double or triple concentrated
- 1-2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoon heavy cream
- grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
- crushed red pepper for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In an oven safe dish, add the tomatoes, garlic cloves and onion.
- Drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle salt and cracked black pepper.
- Bake in a pre heated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 40 mins. Take out the garlic cloves at around 25 mins so they don't burn.
- Add everything to a blender. And pour the broth. Blend at high until everything is smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a pot and add in the tomato paste, sugar, dried oregano and black pepper powder. Simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes
- Then throw in the sliced basil. (Optional: Blend with an immersion blender at this point if you don't want the basil leaves to show.)
- Put in the heavy cream and simmer on low heat for another 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the soup into two bowls. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper. Serve hot with my sourdough grilled cheese sandwich!

Notes
- I leave the tomato skin and seeds on. If you prefer a smoother, thinner soup feel free to remove or strain the soup after blending.
- Ideally use fresh basil. NOTHING beats the flavour! But if you may then substitute with ½ teaspoon dried basil in this recipe.
- Be careful when blending, especially if you are doubling the recipe. The tomatoes are pretty hot. Let them cool slightly and blend in batches if you are making more than two servings.
