Directions
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Cook until onion is tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato paste. Stir in vegetable stock and 1/4 cup basil leaves. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Whisk until tomato paste is thoroughly combined. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Once tomatoes have finished baking, make Basil Croutons: Decrease oven temperature to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss together cubed bread and basil-flavored olive oil. Spread on prepared baking sheet and bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool baking sheet on wire rack.
Transfer half of the roasted vegetables and tomato onion mixture to a blender. Cover and blend until smooth and creamy. If desired, pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer; discard pulp. Repeat with remaining mixture, if desired.
Ladle soup into bowls. Top with Basil Croutons and Parmesan cheese. Garnish with basil leaves and black pepper, if desired.
