When it’s cold and snowy, nothing sounds better to me than a big bowl of this toasty Roasted Tomato Basil Soup.
When it’s homemade, you add in fresh basil, the tomatoes are perfectly roasted, and it’s served with a gooey cream cheese – I’m convinced there’s nothing better.
The secret to the taste of this tomato soup is the roasted tomatoes and onions. It creates a more robust flavor that you can really taste in the soup.
How to make roasted tomato basil soup
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Step 2: Place tomatoes and onions on the baking sheet, then sprinkle with garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Toss with olive oil, then bake for 20-25 minutes, until tender.
Step 3: In a high-powered blender, place roasted tomatoes and onions, then add the fresh basil leaves. Blend until smooth.
Step 4: Transfer tomato mixture to a stock pot. Add in heavy cream and butter, and heat over medium heat until warmed through (make sure it doesn’t boil).
Step 5: Serve warm. We like to serve ours with freshly grated parmesan, chopped fresh basil, and a side of grilled cheese.

Hi ! I am loving your site. this roasted tomato soup looks good. I am on weight watchers and wondering if you thought fat free half and half or low fat sour scream could be exchanged for the whipping cream? Thanks!
Hi Rebekah. You should be fine using those substitutes.
Hello! My sister in law loves this soup and for Christmas wants your cookbook with this recipe in it. Can you tell me which cookbook(s) will have this recipe? Thank you!
As of right now, it’s not yet in our cookbooks.
Made this last week, was a hit with the family.
I have a ton of tomatoes, can this soup be frozen?
Can this recipe be frozen?
Soups that contain milk or cream, like chowders and bisques, also don’t hold up well in the freezer — they tend to take on a grainy texture and separate when defrosted and rewarmed. Tip: Hold back any dairy or non-dairy milk or cream if freezing a soup that calls for it. Freeze everything else and add heavy cream at the end when reheating.
