1: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius fan, then slice your tomatoes in half and add them to a roasting tray. 2: Roughly chop the carrots, slice the garlic bulbs in half, then add to the tray with the ginger. 3: Season well with salt, pepper, and olive oil, then roast for 40 minutes, or until caramelized and cooked through. 4: Halfway through, roughly chop the onions, then add to the tray, seasoning well with salt, pepper, and oil. 5: To prepare your tomato stock, add the tomato purée to 1.5 liters of boiling water and add 1-2 stock cubes. 6: Tip the roasted vegetables into a large pot, cover with tomato broth, then add a splash of boiling water to the tray and scrape off the caramelized bits and add that to the pot. 7: Blend until thick and smooth, adding a splash more stock if desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 8: Add 2 tablespoons of cream or cream cheese for ultimate creaminess. 9: To serve, ladle the soup into bowls, top with fresh basil, a swirl of olive oil, a crack of black pepper, and enjoy with a grilled cheese.
