Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

A rich and flavorful roasted tomato basil soup made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil, perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds ripe tomatoes, halved
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place tomatoes, onion, and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
  4. Transfer roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add vegetable broth and basil leaves.
  5. Blend until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add more broth to reach desired consistency.
  6. Pour soup into a pot and heat over medium heat. Stir in sugar if needed to balance acidity.
  7. Optional: Stir in heavy cream for a richer texture.
  8. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

Roasting the tomatoes and garlic enhances the soup’s natural sweetness and depth of flavor. For a vegan version, omit the heavy cream or substitute with coconut milk.
