Peel and smash the garlic cloves, then scatter them over the tomatoes.

Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and garlic, and season with salt and black pepper.

Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the tomatoes are caramelized and soft.

While the tomatoes roast, chop the onion and sauté in a pot over medium heat until translucent.

Add the roasted tomatoes and garlic to the pot, along with vegetable broth and basil.

Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to combine flavors.

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches.

Adjust seasoning with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

Stir in lemon juice and sugar to balance acidity.

Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of cream, croutons, and fresh parsley.
