Preparation

Step 1


Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cherry and vine tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15–30 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized, removing the cherry tomatoes first if needed.


Step 2


Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 3–5 minutes until softened.


Step 3


Stir in the dried basil, oregano, potatoes, tomato basil sauce, canned tomatoes, and fresh tomatoes.


Step 4


Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.


Step 5


Blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and additional basil if desired.


Step 6


Ladle into bowls and top with the roasted tomatoes and fresh basil. Serve warm with crusty bread if desired.
