Toppings, such as coarse ground black pepper, heavy cream, and/or agave syrup (optional) Directions Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a 15x10-inch baking pan with foil. In prepared pan combine tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. of the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Roast 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender and starting to brown, stirring twice. In a blender or food processor combine roasted vegetables and basil. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Transfer to a large saucepan. Simmer 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, for croutons, sprinkle bottoms of buns with cheese; replace tops. Brush outsides of buns with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil. Place on a baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until golden and crisp, turning once. Cut buns into croutons. Serve soup with croutons and, if desired, toppings. Tip If tomatoes are out of season, you can substitute two 14.5-oz. cans whole tomatoes, drained, for the fresh tomatoes in this soup.
