The tomatoes are roasted to enhance their natural sweetness, while fresh basil adds a fragrant touch that brightens the entire dish. It&#8217;s creamy, yet light, and comes together in a breeze!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fresh tomatoes (Roma or vine-ripened)<\/li>\n<li>Fresh basil leaves<\/li>\n<li>Onion<\/li>\n<li>Garlic cloves<\/li>\n<li>Vegetable broth<\/li>\n<li>Olive oil<\/li>\n<li>Salt and pepper<\/li>\n<li>Heavy cream (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This soup shines because it\u2019s both simple and sophisticated.
