  • Cut the tops off of the garlic, and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap with aluminum foil and bake at 400°F for 30 minutes. remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • While the garlic is roasting, add tomatoes, white beans, better than bouillon, olive oil, salt, and pepper into a heavy bottom pot. Bring to a simmer with the lid off and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and blend the soup in the pot with an immersion blender. Alternately, working in batches, transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
