Ingredients

5 tomatoes on the vine, 5-7 (or 2 cups baby tomatoes)
1 yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 head garlic, peeled
splash of vegetable broth
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
fresh basil, to taste
heavy cream, optional

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a slow cooker, except basil. Cook on low until tomatoes and onions are soft. Blend soup until smooth with an immersion or regular blender. Adding heavy cream will make for creamier soup. Adjust seasonings to taste and garnish with fresh basil before serving. Serves 6, approximately
