Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor, yielding a richly flavored soup.

Make a manchego grilled cheese for dunking.

Spread tomatoes, onion and garlic in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet.

Sheet-Pan Tomato Soup

Jacob Fox

Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; toss to coat.

Roast until the tomatoes burst and the onion is very soft, 20 to 25 minutes.

Carefully transfer the tomatoes, onions and garlic to a blender.

Add sugar to taste, thyme and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Blend, scraping down the sides as necessary, until very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

(Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.)

Garnish with more fresh thyme, if desired.
