Arrange tomatoes, eggplant, onion and garlic on a large baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes and remove garlic and put aside. Continue roasting remaining vegetable for about 20-25 minutes more, until tender and lightly browned in spots.
Remove from oven and scoop eggplant from skin into a heavy, large saucepan or soup pot. Add the rest of the vegetables, the thyme and the stock and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until onion is very tender, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly.
Working in batches, puree soup in blender until it is as smooth as you’d like it to be. Back in the pot, add the cream and bring the soup back to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, and enjoy!
