Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup with Crispy Cheesy Toast

Ingredients:
• 1 lb cherry tomatoes
• 1 sweet pepper
• 1 onion
• 2 heads of garlic
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt, to taste
• Olive oil
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 3 sprigs fresh basil
• 1/2 cup light cream (18%)
• 3 slices Cheddar cheese
• 2 slices pumpkin seed bread
• Fresh cilantro (for garnish oil)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Add the cherry tomatoes, chopped onion, sweet pepper, and whole garlic heads. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Italian seasoning and salt, and toss in the thyme.

Roast for 25–30 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Add the cream, fresh basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, and a little broth if needed to thin it out. Blend until smooth and creamy.

For the toast, top the bread slices with Cheddar cheese and toast until golden and crispy. Drizzle with herb-infused olive oil if desired.

Serve the soup hot with the cheesy toast on the side. It’s rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious—give it a try! 😍
