Roasting & Initial Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread tomatoes, cut into wedges, and whole garlic bulbs on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt. Roast for 35-40 minutes until caramelized and golden.
- While roasting, heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and cook for 1-2 minutes until translucent.
Blending & Simmering
- Once roasted, squeeze garlic from skins and combine with roasted tomatoes, sautéed onions, tomato paste, and vegetable broth in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture back into the Dutch oven, stir in heavy cream, sea salt, seasoning blend, and smoked paprika. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer uncovered for 5-6 minutes.
Serving
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle soup into bowls, garnishing with reserved roasted tomatoes if desired. Enjoy with grilled cheese or crusty bread.

Notes
Use fresh, ripe organic tomatoes for best flavor. Avoid using underripe tomatoes. Roast garlic slowly for optimal sweetness. Adjust seasoning after simmering to ensure balance.
