While roasting fresh tomatoes provides the signature deep, sweet flavor, you can use canned tomatoes in a pinch. Use a 28-ounce can of whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes. Drain them and roast with the onion and garlic for about 20 minutes to concentrate their flavor before proceeding with the recipe.
To prevent curdling, make sure the soup is at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, when you add the cream. Stir it in gently over low heat and avoid boiling the soup after the cream has been added.
This soup pairs wonderfully with a classic grilled cheese sandwich, crusty bread for dipping, garlic bread, or a simple side salad with a vinaigrette dressing.
