Roast until the garlic is soft and lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Let cool. Squeeze the garlic head to extrude the garlic or individually peel the cloves. Set aside. - Peel and cut the onion, celery and carrot into small dice. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small soup pot. Add the diced vegetables, cover, and cook over low heat until soft but not browned, 20 minutes. - Add the beans, garlic, tomatoes (reserving 8 halves for garnish), minced rosemary, and broth and simmer for 15 minutes. Puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth. If the soup is too thick, thin with additional broth. If it's too thin, return to the heat and cook until reduced to the desired consistency. Add the vinegar, the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and the salt and pepper. - Ladle 1/2 cup soup into each bowl, then top with a roasted tomato half, add some freshly ground pepper, and drizzle with a bit of oil. - (Extra Final Touch) Stir 1 teaspoon pesto into each bowl just before serving.
