Bake onions for 20–25 minutes, until they are browning. Take baking sheet out of oven, remove onions from baking sheet and place into large pot. Place tomatoes bake into over for another 10 to 15 minutes. Tomatoes should bake for 30-35 minutes. Watch over carefully, tomatoes and onions can quickly go from almost done to burnt. Once tomatoes are ready, remove from oven and place in large pot with onions. At 4 cups of broth and basil to pot. Add garlic salt, remaining salt and pepper to pot and bring to a boil. Once soup begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Use hand held blender to blend soup or place in traditional blender. I used my Ninja.  Only fill half the blender. Blend soup, pour into bowl and enjoy!
