Easy Homemade Roasted Tomato Soup

A simple and flavorful roasted tomato soup made by roasting fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, and bell pepper, then blending with herbs and broth for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 pounds ripe Roma tomatoes, halved
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and quartered
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast vegetables in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Transfer roasted vegetables to a blender. Add basil and parsley, then blend until smooth.
  5. Pour the blended mixture into a large pot. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  6. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil or a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

Roasting the vegetables intensifies their natural sweetness and flavor, making this soup rich without added cream. For a vegan version, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
