Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes until caramelized.

In a large pot, combine the roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, passata, vegetable or chicken broth, honey or sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or by transferring to a blender in batches.

Stir in half-and-half or heavy cream, and garnish with fresh basil before serving.
