Very similar to Ina Garten's Tomato Basil Soup, but with our vegan twists of course.

Ingredients
- 3 lbs. ripe plum tomatoes, cut in half lengthwise
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cups chopped yellow onions
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 (28 oz) can whole plum tomatoes, with juice
- 4 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
- 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the tomatoes in half and lay all side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast for 45 minutes.
- In an 8-quart stockpot over medium heat, saute the onions and garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and red pepper flakes for 10 minutes, until the onions start to brown. Add the canned tomatoes, basil, thyme, and veggie stock. Add the oven-roasted tomatoes, including the liquid on the baking sheet. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes. Use an immersion blender to blend up all ingredients into a slightly chunky style roasted tomato basil soup.
- Add additional red pepper flakes, salt and/or pepper to taste.
