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 or coconut milk (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 30-40 minutes, until vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized.
  4. Transfer roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add vegetable broth and blend until smooth.
  5. Pour the blended mixture into a large pot and heat over medium heat.
  6. Stir in chopped basil and sugar if using. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  7. If desired, stir in heavy cream or coconut milk for a creamier 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 cream or use coconut milk. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
