Peel the cloves of garlic in the head. Set them on a square of foil and top with the olive oil. Roll the foil around the cloves to make a packet. Roast in 400F oven for 25 minutes.

While the garlic is roasting, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the tomatoes. Boil for 3 minutes. Drain the tomatoes and run cold water over them until their cool enough to touch. Remove the skin and cores and add to the crockpot.

Add roasted garlic and all remaining ingredients except heavy cream, cheese, and basil for garnish.

Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until vegetables are soft. You also could do 6-8 hours on low.

Puree vegetables with an immersion (stick) blender until completely smooth.

Stir in heavy cream and most of cheese, leaving out just a bit for garnish. Spoon into bowls and top with remaining cheese and julienned basil.
