roasted sweet potato and tomato soup

This roasted sweet potato and tomato soup can be prepare as dairy free soup, just skip the sour cream and replace with coconut milk.
I like spicy on the soup so I add hot chili and roasted together with the rest ingredients, if you don't like spicy at all you can skip the chili as well or just add pinch of red pepper flakes
Serve with fresh store bought french baguette or toast.





Ingredients :

- 3 medium size sweet potato
- 6 large tomato
- 1 yellow onion
- 4 clove garlic
- 11/2 Tbsp dry basil
