A comforting and flavorful roasted tomato soup that’s perfect for chilly evenings. Simple to make, packed with goodness, and ideal for cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh Roma or plum tomatoes, halved
  • 6 whole garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 handful fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
  2. Arrange the halved tomatoes, garlic cloves, and quartered onion on a large baking sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized, and the garlic is golden.
  4. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or soup pot. Add the vegetable broth and fresh basil leaves.
  5. Blend until smooth. If using a countertop blender, work in batches to avoid overflow. Let the veggies cool slightly before blending to avoid splatters.
  6. Pour the pureed mixture into a large pot and heat over medium-low heat. Add heavy cream if desired, stirring gently for a creamy texture.
  7. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or crushed red pepper flakes.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and additional basil leaves if desired.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream. Adjust seasoning to taste and reheat gently to preserve texture. Add a swirl of pesto for extra flavor.
