Ingredients

  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 2 cloves of garlic smashed
  • ¼ cup basil leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the whole tomatoes and smashed garlic cloves with about a tablespoon of olive oil, then season liberally with salt.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tomatoes start to burst and blister in parts. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
  • Pour the tomatoes & their juices into the blender; blend to desired consistency.
  • Pour the blended soup into a saucepan over medium heat. Add basil leaves. Bring up to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove wilted basil leaves (or blend the basil into the soup directly in the pot with an immersion blender).
  • Serve hot with croutons, crackers or a hot grilled cheese.

Notes

If you like your soup on the chunky side, don't blend it completely. For silky, smooth soup, run it through a fine mesh strainer to catch the seeds and sediment. 
If your soup gets too thick, just add a little more chicken broth or wate
