Navid: If you like the sweet taste of roasted garlic, you will love this healthy soup. This soup is not only full of antioxidants but also the perfect treatment for the common cold. Put aside all the health benefits, it is also a very easy and quick soup to make.
 First we need to slice off the top of the garlic bulb.
 Before roasting in the oven, drizzle over garlic and tomatoes with olive oil and sprinkle over with salt and pepper.
 After roasting, we will have sweet and soft garlic that can be easily squeezed out. Now it's time to add vegetable stock, spices and herb and develop a nice flavor.
 After pureeing in the food processor, grate some Parmesan on top and serve with some toasted breads.
