Roast at 425°F for 20-30 minutes, until softened, fragrant and starting to brown.3 pounds tomatoes, 1 red bell pepper, 1 small-medium onion, 4-8 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, cracked black pepper
- Blend: Let the roasted vegetables cool for 5-10 minutes, then place in a blender and process until smooth (please ALWAYS check manufacturer's instructions for blending hot ingredients; e.g. Vitamix recommends to leave the lid open in the middle and to cover with a tea towel to allow for the steam to escape).
- Finish soup: Add the blended vegetables to a large soup pot. Stir in enough broth or evaporated milk to reach your desired consistency. Add heavy cream, if you like, then season with sugar, fresh basil and additional salt/pepper to taste. Warm through for a few minutes, then remove the basil before serving hot.1 - 2 cups broth, ¼ cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 handful fresh basil

Notes
If you want intense roasting flavors, you can put the vegetables on the top rack of your oven for the final 5-10 minutes, or broil them for a couple of minutes at the end to lightly char them. Just watch closely, so they don't end up burnt and bitter!
