The way fruits and vegetables taste in finished dishes has a lot to do with how they're cooked. In this great recipe, roasting a mixture of cherry tomatoes along with root vegetables like carrot, onion, and garlic coaxes caramelization. A quick pass with an immersion blender together with some homemade chicken or vegetable broth, and a dash of heavy cream yields a pleasant bisque that is hard to resist. What plays a big role here though, are the ingredients I have yet to mention. Fresh basil, thyme, and rosemary, additional larger Campari or Roma tomatoes (on their vine if you want added flare!), garlic cloves, tomato paste, warm spices like cumin and dill, and...trust me on this one...honey, come together to make for THE BEST tomato soup.
