Comfort food at its finest with this easy, healthy and flavorful Roasted Tomato Basil Soup. Simple ingredients and simple instructions are all you need for a warm bowl of this delicious soup recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 large vine tomatoes, sliced in half (roughly 2.5 lbs)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • optional: 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream (if vegan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Place tomatoes face down in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and drizzle with 2 tbsp of olive oil and then sprinkle with sea salt.
  3. Roast for 45 minutes.
  4. Add 1 tbsp to a large pot over medium heat and sauté onions until translucent (around 3-5 mins).
  5. Add in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  6. Add in tomatoes when they’re finished (be sure to include roasting juices) along with vegetable broth, basil, sea salt, pepper and red wine vinegar.
  7. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to a simmer for 20 mins.
  8. Turn off stove top and let soup cool slightly before blending with an immersion blender or in batches in a conventional blender. I pulse slightly to leave it a bit chunky, but this is my preference.
  9. If using cream let cool to room temperature and then stir in.
  10. Serve warm with bread or my favorite superfood crackers!
