Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and line the basket with parchment paper.

Step 2

To the lined basket, add the tomatoes (cut side up), onions, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, and sugar.

Step 3

Air fry for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened completely. After they have cooled a bit, peel the tomatoes and remove any stems.

Step 4

Add the vegetables and basil to a food processor. Pulse on high until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the blended veggies into a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan, and garlic powder. Heat through.

Step 6

Serve hot with extra parmesan cheese and basil. Salt and pepper, to taste.
