Ingredients
- 6 cups cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup olive oil (divided)
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 ribs celery diced
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ cup (dairy or non-dairy) whipping cream
- optional garnish: parmesan cheese (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. (Alternatively you can use a grill to roast the tomatoes, see instructions in the Notes section below.)
- Add cherry tomatoes to a medium sized bowl. Add olive oil and garlic and toss.
- Place cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until very tender.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet, over medium-high add olive oil. Sauté onions and celery until soft.
- Add basil, oregano, bay leaf, tomato paste, vegetable broth, and cherry tomatoes (along with oil and juices from the pan). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to LOW, cover, and gently simmer for 30 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender directly in the dutch oven, blend soup until desired consistency is reached. (You can also process smaller portions in a blender and add back into the pot in batches.)
