Name: Roasted Tomato Basil Soup Recipe
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Ingredients: 9 medium Roma tomatoes (halved); 1 onion (roughly chopped); 1 teaspoon garlic powder; salt and pepper, to taste; 2 Tablespoons olive oil; 14 fresh basil leaves; ½ cup heavy cream; ¼ cup butter; ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh, homemade Tomato Basil Soup. Roasting the tomatoes and onions brings out the best flavors, and it's perfect by itself or served with a gooey grilled cheese sandwich.

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!
Cyd says:

Hi Rebekah. You should be fine using those substitutes.
Kaitlin Davis says:

CIndy A says:

Made this last week, was a hit with the family. I have a ton of tomatoes, can this soup be frozen?
Lori D says:

Can this recipe be frozen?
Momma Cyd says:

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.
