Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by roasting the tomatoes. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tomatoes in half and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 25-30 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until they become translucent.
- Once the tomatoes are done roasting, add them to the pot along with any juices from the baking sheet.
- Stir in the dried basil and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender, but be sure to cool the mixture slightly before blending.
- Return the blended soup to the pot and add the heavy cream. Stir well and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
