Easy Creamy Tomato Soup with Roasted Tomatoes and Basil

Roasting the ingredients is what truly makes this creamy tomato soup stand out. By roasting the plum tomatoes, onion, and garlic, you get a natural sweetness and enhanced flavors that make this soup taste fresh and homemade. This technique reduces acidity in the tomatoes, bringing out their richness, which blends perfectly with the boiled potatoes for a thicker, creamier texture. Adding just the right amount of olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper ensures a balanced and flavorful base.
