Instructions

Roast the tomatoes & garlic – Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the halved tomatoes, garlic, and chopped onion on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Roast for 25-30 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
Blend the soup – Transfer the roasted ingredients to a blender or food processor. Add the broth and blend until smooth.
Simmer – Pour the mixture into a pot over medium heat. Add the balsamic vinegar and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes to enhance the flavors. Stir in heavy cream (if using).
Serve & enjoy – Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil on top.

Notes

For a thicker soup, reduce the broth slightly or add a small peeled potato to the roasting pan.
