Roasted tomato basil soup recipe


1. Best way to use up all the summer garden produce is turn it into delicious soup!

2. This soup is thick, creamy without the addition of cream or any diary products. Herb-filled roasted tomato soup is so light, fresh and full of nutrients.

3. By roasting  fresh garden tomatoes, onion and garlic give this soup a extra depth of flavor. Packed with fresh basil leaves this soup has incredible rich flavors, fresh and so light!

4. This soup for me is celebration of almost end of summer, arrival of autumn season.

5. Fleshy ripe tomatoes like Roma tomatoes works great for this soup. But you can always mix in cherry tomatoes from your garden(or farmers market) along with Roma tomatoes.

Ingredients you’ll need 

Here’s what you’ll need for roasted tomato basil soup

  • Garden fresh tomatoes (heirloom or roma tomatoes)
  • Garlic
  • Onion
  • Loads of fresh basil leaves
  • Olive oil
  • Celery
  • Salt and ground pepper

How to make roasted tomatoes basil soup

Arrange chopped ingredients in one layer on a baking tray. Drizzle olive oil. Season with salt and ground pepper.

Don’t bother chopping the ingredients fine. Roughly chop tomatoes, white onions and celery.

before roasting all ingredients on tray for roasted tomato basil soup

Roast in oven at 400 F for about 30 to 45 minutes. Time taken to roast entirely depends on the size of tomatoes you chop and the quantity of ingredients on the tray.

Do not over load the baking tray with ingredients and make sure they are in one single layer for even roasting.

after roasting all ingredients on tray for roasted tomato basil soup

Blitz the roasted ingredients.  You can go as smooth or keep is chunky coarse depending on how you like to have your soup.

Add fresh basil leaves and blitz again. The amount of basil leaves in the soup is totally up to you. I love basil but too much basil is not my thing.

I find over powered basil flavor to be unpleasant. Go with your taste buds preference and add as much basil as you like.

We served the soup with grilled garlic bread and grilled cheese bread (for the kids).

FAQS

How to store tomato basil soup?

Store in air tight container in refrigerator for about 1 week.

What to serve with tomato basil soup?

Tomato basil soup is best served with homemade croutons or any crusty bread or grilled cheese sandwich.

Can I skip roasting tomatoes?

I wouldn’t recommend you to skip roasting.
Roasting tomatoes along with garlic, onion, celery brings out the flavors of the veggies. Tomatoes once roasted turns much sweeter and adds a rich tomato flavor to the soup.
Roasting essentially adds rich taste and incredible flavors to the soup.

    Transfer soup into large saucepan. Simmer it for 10-15 minutes. If soup is too thick, thin it by adding little vegetable stock.

Notes

  1. I roasted all ingredients together at a time in oven. Alternatively you can roast just tomatoes, garlic in oven and roast onions separately on stove top or if you have left-over caramelized onions stored. This method will give you perfectly caramelized onions to make rich soup.
  2. I don’t usually strain my soup, as I don’t mind it chunky. Feel free to run the soup through a fine mesh strainer, you’ll have perfectly smooth tomato soup.

    We love soups and it has only been recently whereby I’m enjoying the wonderful flavor of homemade tomato soup or should I say roasted tomato soup. That awful canned variety ruined it for many people. For years I wouldn’t try it and when I discovered that homemade was simply delicious — well, now I crave it. Your recipe is just the way I like it.

    Two of the best flavors combined. I’ve got basil coming out my ears with the garden this year… one wouldn’t think a single plant would produce so many leaves! I’ll be saving this recipe for when the tomatoes come in …

    Oh, such a pretty color on this soup. Soon we will start making soup again on a regular basis. Tomato and basil sound like the perfect combination for a good tomato soup. Saving this for later. Looks yum.
