Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Roasted Garlic Tomato Soup
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Arrange halved tomatoes on the baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut off the top of the head of garlic, drizzle it with 1 tablespoon olive oil, wrap in foil, and place it on the baking sheet.
- Roast tomatoes and garlic for 30-35 minutes, until tomatoes are caramelized and garlic is soft.
- Once roasted, allow them to cool for a few minutes before handling the garlic.
- In a pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onion for about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into the pot, add roasted tomatoes, broth, and basil leaves; stir well.
- Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy using an immersion blender or countertop blender.
- Return blended mixture to pot, stir in heavy cream or coconut milk, and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of cream.
