A comforting and flavorful roasted tomato soup, perfect for a cozy meal. This recipe features oven-roasted tomatoes, garlic, and onions for a deep, rich flavor. It’s easy to make and can be customized for a silky or rustic texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs ripe tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 large yellow onion, cut into wedges
  • 6 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for creamy texture)
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a large baking sheet, toss the tomatoes, onion wedges, and unpeeled garlic cloves with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Arrange the vegetables in a single layer.
  4. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and slightly caramelized, and the onion is tender.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the garlic cool slightly, then squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins.
  6. Transfer the roasted tomatoes, onion, and garlic to a blender or food processor.
  7. Add the vegetable broth. Blend until smooth for a silky texture, or pulse for a more rustic consistency.
  8. Pour the soup into a pot and heat gently over medium heat.
  9. If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer, creamier soup. Heat through but do not boil.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.

Notes

  • For a silky smooth soup, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
  • This soup freezes well. Let it cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
  • Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches for a classic pairing.
  • Consider this recipe as a great option for meal planning, similar to how one might use meal delivery services for convenience.
