Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place halved tomatoes and garlic cloves on the baking sheet and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Generously season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes.
- While the tomatoes are roasting, you can make the caramelized onions: Add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to a large pot and place over medium heat. Add the onion slices and stir to coat the onions with olive oil. Cook, stirring occasionally. Check onions every 5-10 minutes until they have completely caramelized and turned golden in color. This ususally takes 20 minutes.
- Once tomatoes and garlic are done roasting, allow them to cool for 10 minutes, then add them to a food processor or high powered blender and blend until smooth. Next add basil and caramelized onions and blend again. Alternatively you can add the tomatoes to the large pot and use an immersion blender. It's really just about what you have available to you.
- After blending, transfer back to pot, turn to medium low heat and add in oregano, vegetarian broth and salt and pepper to taste. From there you can add in any additional add-ons you want (as listed in the ingredients). Allow tomato soup to simmer 10 minutes before serving. To serve, garnish with parmesan cheese and serve with grilled cheese, if desired. Serves 4.

Steps:
- Turn your oven on now so that it's pre-heated ready to cook later on! Heat settings are 200°C / 400°F .
- First, peel the tomatoes. Do this by making a small cut in the skin then plunging the tomatoes in boiling water for 1 minute.
- Run cold water over the tomatoes and the skins can then easily be peeled off. Cut the peeled tomatoes in half with a sharp knife, avoid squashing them.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic. Place the halved tomatoes on the baking tray, cut side upwards. Sprinkle the garlic over the tomatoes and spread the basil leaves over the top.
- Sprinkle two tablespoons of olive oil over the basil and tomatoes. Place the baking tray in the middle of the oven and leave it there for an hour.
- Peel and finely chop the onions. 40 minutes before the tomatoes are roasted take the tray from the oven and sprinkle the chopped onion over the tomatoes. Put the baking tray back in the oven.
- 20 minutes before the tomatoes are roasted, peel the potato, chop it into four and place it in a pan with carrots and 470 ml (1 pint) cold water. Place the pan on the stove and bring to a gentle boil.
- When the tomatoes are roasted, take the potato and carrots off the heat and mash coarsely with the water.Add the tomatoes to the pan of potatoes and remash. Add the tomato paste, a couple of shakes of Lea and Perrins and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Leave the blended soup in the pan and gently reheat for around 5 minutes stirring every minute or so. Don't let the soup boil.
- Taste the soup and add any more salt or pepper according to taste.
- Serve in warm soup bowls and garnish with a couple of basil sprigs if any is left.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes that are in season.
- Roast the tomatoes before blending: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. It also helps to remove excess moisture, resulting in a thicker, more concentrated soup.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a soup that is uniquely yours. Some popular additions include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and onion.
- Add a touch of cream or yogurt: For a richer, creamier soup, add a dollop of cream or yogurt before serving. You can also use milk or even coconut milk.
- Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Tomato basil soup is the perfect soup to serve with crusty bread or crackers. It's also a great way to use up leftover bread.
Conclusion:
Tomato basil soup is a classic soup that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a simple soup to make, and it is also very versatile. You can easily customize it to your own taste by adding different herbs, spices, or vegetables.
