Insanely Good Roasted Tomato Soup Recipe

I’m not sure if there is anything better than soup on a cold (or even a cold-ish) day. A really delicious soup somehow makes everything better. Today I’m sharing a great recipe for roasted tomato soup, a classic that is made with love and has incredible flavor!

It took me a long time to love soup. Even though everyone around me ate it all the time, I never really discovered the greatness of soup until I was a fully grown adult. 

Making Soup Can Be Intimidating!

For a while I thought that soup was super intimidating. How do you get the perfect soup consistency? How do I get the flavors to blend perfectly? Even though I have been cooking from a young age, soup was one of the only things to greatly intimidate me.

I’d try soup everywhere. The Caribbean soups, the soups from Hale and Hearty (an amazing local chain), and pretty much everywhere else. I was able to appreciate the magic of soup from afar but never ever my own kitchen.

Then I tried a simple recipe. Kept my eye on the pot, and watched magic happen. I’ve been hooked ever since, but gadgets such as the instant pot have made soup making way less intimidating.

This Roasted Tomato Soup recipe is a classic and great for weeknight meals that will warm you right up. It is made above the stove from actual roasted tomatoes and the perfect blend of spices.

What Do You Serve with Tomato Soup?

I would recommend the classic grilled cheese sandwich! If that is too much a crusty slice of sourdough bread works perfectly too! If you are looking for some fancy grilled cheese options check out this amazing 12 grilled Cheese options to pair with Tomato Soup.

How do you make this Roasted Tomato Soup?

Make sure you get some amazing ripe tomatoes for this recipe! You will be roasting the tomatoes by baking them and also roasting the garlic.

You will need a blender to puree the soup for the perfect consistency. Remember to NEVER fill the blender more than halfway and also be sure to blend with a hand towel on top for security.
