Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs of fresh tomatoes (Roma or vine-ripe)
1 cup of fresh basil, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
4 cups of vegetable broth
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of pepper
1 cup of heavy cream
Instructions
Begin by washing your tomatoes thoroughly. If you're using fresh tomatoes, core and halve them. Dicing the onion and mincing the garlic will prepare the base flavors of your soup.
For an added depth of flavor, place your halved tomatoes on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil before roasting in the oven at 400°F (about 20-25 minutes). If you're opting for canned tomatoes, this step can be skipped.
In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, sauté your diced onions for about 5 minutes until translucent, then add garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Transfer your roasted tomatoes, sautéed onions, garlic, fresh basil, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper into the crockpot. Stir well to combine.
Cover the crockpot and set it to low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 2 to 3 hours. Check occasionally, and stir if desired.
At the end of cooking time, use an immersion blender directly in the crockpot to puree your soup until smooth. For a creamier texture, swirl in the heavy cream or coconut milk.
