To make this tomato soup from scratch, start out by roasting together the tomatoes, red onion, garlic, and basil until the tomatoes have charred a little and released their juices. Once the veggies are roasted, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes in the pan. Transfer the tomatoes and onion to a blender. Carefully squeeze the bottom of the garlic bulb to release the cloves and add them to the blender. Strip a few roasted leaves of basil off the stem and add them to the blender too. Purée the ingredients until almost smooth. Thin out the soup with the juices from the pan to desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Depending on the acidity of your tomatoes, you may want to add a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
To make the Roasted Tomato Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
