Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice your ripe tomatoes in half and arrange cut-side up on a prepared baking sheet. Quarter the onion and place among the tomatoes.
- Slice off the top of the whole garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, then wrap in foil and place on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle the baking sheet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 30–35 minutes, until tomatoes are charred and garlic is soft.
- Remove garlic and let cool slightly. Squeeze garlic into a blender with the tomatoes, onion, broth, thyme, basil, and red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer the blended soup to a large saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in heavy cream if desired. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle into warm bowls, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve with crusty bread or grilled cheese.

Notes
This soup can be made vegan by omitting the cream and using coconut cream instead. Perfect for meal prep and storing for later.
