Roasting the heirloom tomatoes, onion, and garlic intensifies their flavors by caramelizing their natural sugars. Sweet basil and crushed red pepper flakes add just the right amount of seasoning and warmth when blended with the caramelized tomato mixture to make a flavorful chunky soup. Simply baking Parmigiano Reggiano melts and browns the cheese into a crunchy treat. I like to eat a spoonful of chunky tomato basil soup followed with a bite of the crispy cheese.
