Recipe: Homemade Tomato Soup

Ingredients:

• - 2 pounds ripe tomatoes

• - 1 large onion, chopped

• - 3 cloves garlic, minced

• - 2 tablespoons olive oil

• - 2 cups vegetable broth

• - 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)

• - Salt and pepper, to taste

• - Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

• 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• 2. Prepare the tomatoes by washing them thoroughly and removing the stems. Cut            them into halves or quarters, depending on the size.

• 3. Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle them              with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

• 4. Roast the tomatoes in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until they            become soft and slightly charred.

• 5. While the tomatoes are roasting, heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add      the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and        fragrant.

• 6. Add the roasted tomatoes to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated          on the baking sheet. Stir well to combine.

• 7. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let        it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

• 8. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth. Be        cautious when blending hot liquids and work in batches if necessary.

• 9. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, if desired. Season with                additional salt and pepper to taste.

• 10. Simmer the soup for another 5 minutes to heat it through.

• 11. Ladle the tomato soup into Weck jars, leaving some space at the top for expansion.        Seal the jars with the Weck lids and clips according to the manufacturer's                      instructions.

• 12. Allow the soup to cool before storing it in the refrigerator. The Weck jars, with              their snap-on plastic lids, make storage a breeze and keep the soup fresh for longer        periods.

• 13. When you're ready to enjoy the soup, simply reheat it on the stovetop or in the              microwave. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
