For the Soup

Step-by-Step Instructions for Roast Tomato Soup

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • On your prepared baking sheet, place the halved tomatoes, quartered onion, and peeled garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and sugar.
  • Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and roast for about 30–40 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and slightly charred.
  • Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly.
  • Transfer the roasted vegetables into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the blended mixture into a large saucepan, add the vegetable or chicken broth, and stir to combine.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
  • If using heavy cream, stir it in along with the chopped fresh basil just before serving.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve it with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

For best results, use ripe tomatoes, allow the vegetables to roast properly, and adjust seasoning gradually as needed.
