Roasting the Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the Roma tomatoes in half and place them on a baking sheet. Peel and quarter the onion, and add it to the baking sheet. Peel the garlic cloves and add them whole to the sheet. Chop the carrot and celery into small pieces and add them as well. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.

Blending the Soup
Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. In a large pot, add the roasted vegetables, the fresh basil leaves, dried oregano, and vegetable broth. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the mixture to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth.

Heating the Soup
After blending, return the soup to the pot and heat over medium-low heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary. Allow the soup to simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
