Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the halved tomatoes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
While the tomatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Once the tomatoes are roasted, add them to the pot with the sautéed onion and garlic. Pour in the tomato puree and chicken gravy. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender. Ensure the soup is blended to your preferred consistency.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each bowl with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
Tips:
- For an extra rich flavor, consider using a mix of different types of tomatoes.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream to the soup before serving.
- Fresh basil is best, but if you can't find it, you can substitute with dried basil.
- Serve the soup with a slice of crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich for a comforting meal.
Roast tomato and basil soup is a timeless recipe that pairs beautifully with bread or sandwiches for a wholesome meal. The roasting process intensifies the flavors, making this soup a true comfort food. Enjoy the warmth and richness of this delightful homemade soup with your loved ones.
