Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees.
In a roasting tin mix the tomatoes, garlic, olives, onion, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper together. Put in the oven for 30 minutes, giving the tin a shake halfway through.
Once the onions are soft and the tomatoes have gone all squishy, remove from the tin into a blender. Add the cream cheese and blend until smooth.
Adjust seasoning to taste, and if you prefer a smoother soup, sift through a sieve. If the sauce is a little thick, simply add a touch of water until you get the consistency you want.
Top with feta cheese if using - don't forget to adjust the calories based on how much cheese you use.
