Preparation
  1. Heat the oven to 400°F / 200°C.

  3. Coat the tomatoes and garlic with the olive oil, then season with sea salt and the all-purpose seasoning blend.
Roasting

Cooking
  1. Place the diced onion in a pot over medium heat and cook until softened.
  2. Add the roasted tomatoes and garlic to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine.
  3. Mix in the tomato paste, smoked paprika, and heavy cream, then simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes

For a smoother soup, blend until completely silky; for a chunkier texture, blend for less time.
