1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste

6. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves from skins and add to the pot. Stir well.
7. Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in batches with a regular blender until smooth.

10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.
Notes
For a lighter version, skip the cream and enjoy as a dairy-free soup.
Roasting the garlic in advance enhances sweetness and depth of flavor.
Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best taste.
