Ingredients
4 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped

3–4 cloves garlic, peeled
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1–2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup milk or coconut milk
1 cup fresh basil, packed
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 F.
Place the tomatoes, onions, and garlic on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Roast in the oven until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or large pot.
Add the vegetable broth and fresh basil, then blend until smooth.
Stir in the milk or coconut milk to reach your desired creamy consistency.
