How to make Roasted Tomato Soup
Roast the Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the halved tomatoes, quartered onion, and garlic bulb on a baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are caramelized and the garlic is soft.
Prepare the Soup
Once roasted, squeeze the softened garlic cloves out of their skins.
Transfer the roasted tomatoes, onions, and garlic to a large pot. Add the vegetable or chicken stock, coconut cream, dried basil, chili flakes, and additional seasoning if needed.
Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth. For a finer texture, strain the soup through a sieve, reserving the pulp for another dish if desired.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and drizzle a bit of coconut milk on top for extra creaminess. Serve hot.
Tips & Tricks
For a spicier soup, increase the amount of chili flakes.
Use fresh basil instead of dried for a more vibrant flavor.
FAQS

What are some good substitutions for ingredients in roasted tomato soup?
If you don't have coconut cream, you can substitute it with cashew cream or a splash of almond milk for a lighter version.
