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
  • 4 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 large pot. Add vegetable broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  5. Simmer for 10 minutes to blend flavors.
  6. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches in a blender.
  7. Stir in chopped basil and sugar if using. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. If desired, stir in heavy cream for a richer soup.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired.

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.
