Choice of Cheese; Mozzarella, Pecorino, or Parmigianooptional, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the halved tomatoes, quartered onion, and half a garlic head on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
Roast in the oven for about 35 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and caramelized.
Meanwhile, in a pot, bring the chicken stock to a boil and add the potatoes. Cook until potatoes are tender.
Remove the skins from the roasted tomatoes. Place the tomatoes, onions, garlic, potatoes, and chicken stock into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve hot, garnished with basil and optionally cheese.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock. Garnish with cheese for added creaminess.
