Cooking Steps
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Quarter the fresh Roma tomatoes and spread them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat the tomatoes well.
- Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until edges char and caramelize.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden.
- Add roasted tomatoes and any pan juices to the pot. Pour in broth and stir gently to combine.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or countertop blender.
- If desired, stir in heavy cream or dairy-free substitute and warm over low heat.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
