Each stage enhances the dish’s flavors, making the preparation straightforward and enjoyable.

Prep

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and core the 2 pounds of tomatoes, cutting them in half.
3. Place the halved tomatoes in a large mixing bowl, and add the 6 cloves of whole garlic and the chopped onion.
4. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the tomatoes and vegetables, then season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of dried basil and oregano.
5. Toss everything gently to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated in the oil and seasoning.

Roast

1. Spread the coated tomatoes, garlic, and onion onto a large baking sheet in a single layer.
2. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and caramelized, and the onion is soft and golden.
3. Stir the mixture halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.

Blend

1. Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
2. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor.
3. Blend until smooth, adding a little water or broth if necessary to reach your desired consistency. For a creamier texture, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream during blending.
4. Taste the soup to see how wonderfully the flavors developed during roasting.

1. After blending, taste the soup again and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs according to your preferences.
2. If you want a lighter soup, stir in up to 2 cups of vegetable or chicken broth to thin it out.
3. Heat the soup on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through, then serve it hot with your favorite crusty bread.
