Don’t you love Tomato Soup? I absolutely do and love making variations to it. Sometimes I mix it with corn, basil, garlic and so on to make variations.

This time I roasted tomatoes, garlic and thyme for an additional sweetness and flavour to make a vegan creamy version and added basil and coconut milk. We loved this and I am making this again for sure. I left it slightly chunky because that gives me a feeling of getting full soon. If you don’t like it chunky, you could grind yours finely.

  6. In the meanwhile, add some oil to a heavy bottom and add long slices of onions to it. Caramelize the onions till golden brown.
  7. In a blender, add chopped basil leaves, caramelized onions and the grilled tomatoes-garlic.
