Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Tomatoes
- 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, chopped
Garlic
- 1 head of garlic
Onion
- 1 medium onion, diced
Vegetable Broth
- 4 cups vegetable broth
Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream or dairy alternative
Instructions
- Roast the Garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off a head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap it in foil, and roast for about 30-35 minutes until the cloves are soft and caramelized.
- Sauté the Veggies: In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in the roasted garlic cloves and cook for another minute.
- Add Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in chopped fresh tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer it to a standard blender in batches.
- Add Cream and Seasoning: Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat gently until warmed through.
Notes
- Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.
- Don’t rush the roasting; allow garlic to roast until soft and golden.
- Season gradually and adjust to your palate.
- For a chunkier soup, reserve some diced tomatoes to add back after blending.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or croutons for added texture.
