Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Chop potato and place in a medium size bowl. Add tomatoes, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place thyme on top. Bake for 30 minutes or until tomatoes are just bursting at seems.
Transfer the contents of the baking sheet into a medium sized pot. Include drippings from baking sheet. Add vegetable stock to pot to just cover the contents.
P.S. I had added onions in my first batch and didn't like the taste, hence removed it from the recipe.
Using a hand blender, puree the mixture. Add more vegetable stock according to your preference
Drizzle with olive oil and fresh chopped basil.
Let cool slightly. Serve in bowls with a side of grilled cheese, crackers or a green salad.
Hint: Add as much vegetable stock as you like to achieve the thickness you prefer.
Substitutions and Variations

- Instead of fresh tomatoes, you can use canned or jarred tomatoes.
- If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder.
- You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth if desired.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the soup for some extra heat.
- Try adding cooked rice or quinoa for added texture and nutrition.
- For a creamy version, blend in some heavy cream or coconut milk at the end of cooking time.
- Add in roasted vegetables such as bell peppers and mushrooms for extra flavor and color.
