What Ingredients will you need for a creamy tomato soup?

• Tomatoes. As I said earlier, you need to choose the most flavored tomatoes. It doesn’t matter how they look and how big or small they are. For this recipe, we are interested only by aroma and taste.
• Onions & Garlic. Baked onions and garlic will give us a sweet taste highlighting the individual taste of the tomatoes without distracting too much attention from them.
• Ricotta. I choose for this recipe the ricotta cheese. You can replace it with another kind of cheese either fresh or matured. It all depends on what type of texture you want to obtain: Creamier or more piquant.
• Vegetable broth. You can make it by yourself from whatever vegetables you prefer, use commercial broth, or use a bouillon cube that you can dissolve into the water.
• Salt and Pepper. 
• Thyme. 
• Olive oil

What tomatoes should I use?

My recommendation will be to choose tomatoes that were grown naturally on the farm or in your garden because these tomatoes will be more aromatic and will give your tomato a more delicious taste.

How to cook this simple tomato soup?

1. First of all, we need to cut the tomatoes in half and remove the tomato tails.

2. After that, you need to slice the onions into thin pieces of 1/4″.

3. The next step will be to divide the garlic into cloves. We will need 8-9 pieces of garlic cloves.

4. Now it’s time to take the thyme and splash it a little with the high-quality olive oil to avoid burnout at baking.

5. After you will have all the ingredients prepared, arrange them on a baking pan, and season everything with salt and pepper.

Splash all the ingredients with extra-virgin olive oil. And the last step, add some drops of balsamic glaze to the tomatoes.

6. Put the pan in the preheated oven (at 360°F / 180°C) for 30-35 minutes.

7. After the timer will end, remove the pan from the oven, and let the vegetables cool down for a while so you can work with them after that.

Also, at this step, you can throw away the thyme because it already gave all the flavor to our vegetables. We don’t need it anymore.

8. After the vegetables cool down a little bit, it’s time to peel the tomatoes and the garlic. Put all the tomatoes, garlic, and onions into a bowl together with the juice left by them.

9. Take a blender and blend them. To control the consistency that you want to obtain, add some vegetable broth until you will be happy with the result.

10. Congratulation! We are done! All we have to do now is to put the soup on a plate and to serve it. I preferred to add a tablespoon of creamy Ricotta, some splashes of extra-virgin olive oil, and a few leaves of basil.

You can also serve near the soup the traditional focaccia genovese or a few slices of flavorful homemade rosemary parmesan bread.

Here is the result I got:

How to add a personal taste to this Tomato Soup?

You can change the taste of the soup, using some aromatic herbs like basil or other herbs that you like.

Also, if you want to add some texture, you can add some croutons that you can flavor with some garlic, salt, and pepper or experiment with your favorite herbs.

If you don’t like the ricotta, you can replace it with another cheese or sour cream.

Tips for success:

• Choose the most flavored tomatoes that you can find.
• Pay attention not to burn the onions and garlic because you will obtain a bitter taste.
• If you want to make the tomato soup more creamy after you will blend the tomatoes, pass the tomatoes through the sieve.
• A little bit of love.
