🥘Ingredients

For the Soup

6 large ripe tomatoes, halved
3 red bell peppers, seeded and quartered
1 medium onion, quartered
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Heavy cream or coconut cream, for drizzling (optional)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2Place the tomato halves, bell pepper quarters, onion quarters, and garlic cloves on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss to coat evenly.
3Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and lightly charred. Let them cool for a few minutes.
4Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and into a large pot. Add the roasted tomatoes, peppers, and onion to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth.
5Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, work in batches and be careful with the hot liquid.
6Place the pot over medium heat and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of cream if desired. Serve hot.
