Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes (washed and dried )
  • 1 yellow onion (peeled and quartered )
  • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus more for garnish)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly black pepper
  • 1/3 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon creme fraiche or sour cream or yogurt (plus more for garnish)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the top end off the head of garlic. Place it cut side down on a 1-inch baking sheet. Then add the cherry tomatoes, quartered onion and thyme. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Toss it all together and transfer to the oven.
  • Bake until the tomatoes are softened and simmering, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Flip the garlic over and let it cool slightly. Add the tomatoes to a blender, along with the onion and thyme leaves. Squeeze the garlic cloves out of the head of garlic and add them to the blender.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and creme fraiche or yogurt and blend until smooth. You could also add this to a pot and use an immersion blender.
  • Give it a taste and adjust the salt to your liking. Divide amongst bowls and drizzle with creme fraiche or sour cream and garnish with basil.
