Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Arrange halved tomatoes cut-side up on one or two large baking sheets. Scatter unpeeled garlic cloves around the tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until tomatoes are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the pan. (60 minutes)

04

Step

While the tomatoes are roasting, melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add diced onion, sugar, and dried oregano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. (7 minutes)

05

Step

Once the roasted tomatoes are cool enough to handle, peel the roasted garlic cloves and add them to the pot with the onions. Add the roasted tomatoes and any accumulated juices from the baking sheet to the pot. Pour in vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (25 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully puree the soup in batches using an electric blender or an immersion blender, taking caution with hot liquids. If using a regular blender, vent the lid slightly and cover with a towel to prevent splattering. (10 minutes)

07

Step

For an extra smooth and refined texture, force the pureed soup through a fine-mesh strainer into another clean pot, discarding any solids. (10 minutes)

08

Step

Stir in heavy cream and season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Heat gently. Serve hot, garnished as desired.

For a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil and the heavy cream with cashew cream or coconut cream.
Adjust the amount of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes, depending on their ripeness.
Roasting the garlic along with the tomatoes mellows its flavor and adds a subtle sweetness.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, a swirl of cream, or homemade croutons.
