1/4 cup parmesan cheese, optional garnish

2. Wash and cut tomatoes (cut in half for smaller apricot sized tomatoes, cut larger tomatoes into quarters or eighths)
3. Place tomatoes, garlic, onion, bell pepper, olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried herbs in a large pan.
4. Roast 25 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes. Turn oven to broil and broil 3-4 minutes or until some of the tomatoes get a little bit of char color on them.
5. Bring chicken broth to boil, add tomatoes and fresh herbs. Using a hand blender, blend mixture until smooth and creamy. Add heavy cream if using.
6. Top with parmesan cheese, croutons, or drizzle of heavy cream

Recipe Note: Cream is generally added if the tomatoes are extra tart. Most often, ripe tomatoes won’t require the cream. Taste the soup once blended and decide if you’d like to add the cream. Stir in a little at a time.
