Instructions

Step 1

Step 1: Roast Everything. Preheat oven to 425°F . On a sheet pan lay out tomatoes (cut side up) Add onion and garlic head. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme. Roast for 35–45 minutes until tomatoes are blistered and caramelized, onion edges are browned and garlic is soft and golden. This step is where the magic happens—don’t rush it.

Step 2

Step 2: Blend the Soup. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves into a pot and add tomatoes + onion + all juices, stir in tomato paste, pour in broth and blend using Immersion blender (easiest) or countertop blender (in batches).

Step 3

Step 3: Finish It. Bring to a gentle simmer (10–15 min) and then stir in heavy cream and sugar (optional). Adjust salt/pepper and add fresh basil right at the end. Want it ultra-smooth? Strain it. Want rustic? Leave it as-is.
