3lbroma tomatoesroughly 10-14 tomatoes depending on size, cut in half lengthwise
1onionsliced
1teaspoon6 g sea salt, divided
1/2teaspoon1 g ground black pepper
1/2cup95g canned low sodium cannellini beans or ½ cup cooked cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1cup8 fl oz unsweetened plain oat milk milk
2tablespoons32g no salt added tomato paste
1teaspoondried Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the tip of the head of garlic off exposing the garlic cloves. Drizzle the garlic with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Wrap the head in aluminum foil and place directly on the oven rack.
Add the tomatoes and onion to the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Bake for 45 minutes until tomatoes are starting to blister and easily pierced with a fork. Remove the baking sheet and garlic from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes until cool enough to handle.
Add the tomatoes and onion to the blender. Remove the garlic from the aluminum foil and squeeze the cloves of garlic from the head into the blender being careful not to get any garlic skin in the blender. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, beans, milk, tomato paste and Italian seasoning. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you feel the soup is too thick, add more milk ¼ cup at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Season with additional salt and pepper, as desired.
Notes
OIL FREE: Omit the oil completely and dry roast the garlic, tomatoes and onions. Though omitting oil the garlic still must be wrapped in aluminum foil.
