Ingredients
- 2.2 lbs (1 kg) cherry tomatoes on the vine
- 4 cloves garlic skins still on
- 2 tsp fresh thyme
- 8 round shallots or 4 banana shallots roughly sliced
- 1 small knob butter
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 Small bunch fresh basil roughly chopped
- 2 cups (500ml) vegetable stock good quality
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 200C (400F).
- Wash and dry fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes (any colour, I like a mix) and take them off the vine if still attached. Add them to a baking tray with 4 large cloves of garlic (crushed with the back of a knife but skins still on), thyme, salt, pepper and olive oil.
- Roast them in the oven until the garlic is soft and the tomatoes are soft and juicy (around 30 minutes).
- Meanwhile, add butter and oil to a saucepan and saute the shallots on a low heat until soft and deep brown, do not rush this part it will take around 15-20 minutes.
- Once the tomatoes are roasted remove the garlic skins and discard then add the roasted tomatoes and garlic with any juice to the onions. Add vegetable stock then bring to a boil.
- Turn off the heat and blitz the soup until completely smooth using an immersion blender (handheld) alternatively carefully ladle it into a blender making sure not to overfill it. Finally add some freshly chopped basil before serving.
- Top Tip: The soup will be smooth but the seeds from the tomatoes will remain. If you'd rather have a completely silky smooth soup them pass it through a sieve before serving to remove any seeds.
Notes
- Use the highest quality tomatoes you can find for best flavour (local and in season if possible)
- You can add a spicy kick to the soup by adding dried chilli flakes or fresh chilli
- Fresh thyme will give a stronger flavor than dried so use fresh when possible
- Take your time with the shallots and don't be tempted to turn up the heat as they will burn instead of slowly caramelising them (this also adds deep flavour to the soup)
- Although this soup is thick and creamy as it is you could add a dash of cream or top with a swirl of creme fraiche
- Try topping with homemade pesto, it's delicious!
- If you have any leftovers you could also add this soup to pasta sauces or stews
- This soup will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days and can be frozen up to 3 months
