Ingredients
Garlic Roasted Tomatoes:
- 3 lbs cherry tomato washed and halved lengthwise
- 10 cloves garlic peeled and smashed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon italian herbs
Soup:
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper deseeded and diced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon basil dried leaves
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream or half and half
Garnish:
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- basil fresh leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place tomatoes and garlic cloves on a baking tray, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs, roast for about 25 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and charred on the tops.
- Remove tray from oven and transfer the tomatoes and garlic to the slow cooker with all the juices from roasting.
- Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, season with dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Add the tomato paste and broth, stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on High for 3 hours or on Low for 6 hours.
- When there are 30 minutes of cooking remaining, stir in the heavy cream, cover and cook for 30 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or a Vitamix, puree the mixture until it’s very smooth. I transferred the soup in two batches into the blender to puree it, but if you use an immersion blender you can puree the soup directly in the crockpot.
- Serve garnished with grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze for later.
