Ingredients
  

For the Soup

  • 4 large ripe tomatoes cut in quarters
  • 1/2 large onion peeled and quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic unpeeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil

For the Cheesy Bread

  • 1 small baguette sliced in half lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

To make the Soup

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Place the quartered tomatoes, onion, and unpeeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss everything to coat evenly.
  • Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and caramelized, and the tomatoes have released their juices.
  • Once roasted, allow the vegetables to cool slightly. Peel the garlic cloves (they should be soft and easy to remove from the skins).
  • Transfer the roasted vegetables and any juices from the baking sheet into a blender or food processor with your broth. Blend until smooth and creamy. (For a chunkier soup, blend for a shorter time.)
  • Pour the blended soup into a pot and heat over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Bring to a simmer and sit in your heavy cream.
  • Stir in the finely chopped spinach and basil, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the basil infuses its flavor into the soup.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed (more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning). Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs and parmesan for garnish.

To make the Cheesy Bread

  • Slice the baguette in half lengthwise, creating long pieces.
  • Spread softened butter generously on the cut sides of the baguette halves. Sprinkle each half with Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper on top.
  • Place the cheesy bread halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are crispy.
  • Slice the cheesy bread into individual pieces and serve hot alongside your soup for the perfect combination!
