Roasted Tomato Soup
This homemade Roasted Tomato Soup recipe is delicious and creamy. Such rich flavor with a creamy texture. Perfectly paired with a grilled cheese sandwich!

I’ve always been one to reach for the prepared can of store bought Tomato Soup. Why not, it tastes good. Yet one day I didn’t have any can on hand, yet I did have a lot of tomatoes to use up.
So, I decided it was time to try and make my own Roasted Tomato Soup, because that is the perfect pair to a grilled cheese sandwich or homemade garlic bread in air fryer.
Almost like you need these two to be together. Really, they are the ultimate comfort food.
The result? Wow. The difference between homemade tomato soup and canned tomato soup was incredible.
This easy roasted tomato soup gives such rich flavor with a creamy texture!
For full disclosure, I’m not saying that I’ll never go back to canned tomato soup from the grocery store again. I know I will for convenience sake, it’s just the world we live in.
Yet, I wouldn’t hesitate to make this perfect soup recipe again, made from fresh garden tomatoes. That incredible taste of this homemade creamy tomato soup recipe will stay with me, always.
Homemade fresh tomato soup with simple ingredients gives the best flavor ever. Way better than the canned stuff.

Ingredients Required
Here are the key ingredients to make this easy tomato soup recipe. The detailed instructions are below with the printable recipe card.
- Fresh Tomatoes – you’ll want whole tomatoes. It’s not the same using canned tomatoes at all.
- Onion and Garlic Cloves – for flavor. Fresh garlic gives the best results.
- Olive Oil – for cooking.
- Chicken Stock – the liquid base. In a pinch you can use vegetable stock too.
- Heavy Cream – adds to the creaminess of the base.
- Granulated Sugar – little sugar for some sweetness.
- Salt & Black Pepper – for seasoning and taste.
- Parmesan Cheese – optional yet recommended topping.
How to Make this Homemade Soup
Preheat oven to 450º. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut ripe tomatoes and the onion and place them on the prepared pan.
Wrap sliced cloves garlic in foil and add to the pan.
Drizzle olive oil over the tomatoes and onion; add generous amounts of salt & pepper. Mix with hands to coat vegetables.
Roast for 45-50 minutes until beginning to brown.
Add the tomato mixture to a large saucepan or heavy soup pot, and add in chicken broth and sugar.
Squeeze garlic pulp without the skins, into the pot. Heat on medium heat until hot.
After heated and the chicken stock and tomatoes have begun to merge flavors, ladle 1/3 – 1/2 of the roasted tomatoes into a blender or food processor.
Blend thoroughly and at high speed to make sure the seeds and skins are completely broken down.
Pour this first mixture into a bowl and repeat the process with the rest of the tomato mixture from the large pot.
Return all blended mixture to the pan and reheat. Add the cream and mix. Taste the finished soup and adjust seasonings, add more salt and pepper if needed.
This delicious tomato soup is so creamy and you can really taste the REAL tomatoes! This simple recipe makes me feel all domesticated and such. *Wink*

Soup Recipe Tips:
- I like to use large ripe tomatoes, yet you can also use roma tomatoes or cherry tomatoes.
- You can also use an immersion blender instead of transferring to a regular blender.
- Add fresh basil to make this a Tomato Basil Soup. You can also season tomato soup by adding red pepper flakes, garlic powder or some italian seasoning.
- If you’d rather not use heavy cream, you can use sour cream or coconut milk.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this healthy roasted tomato soup with croutons, or like my kids prefer: Top with mini grilled cheese croutons!
You simply make grilled cheese sandwiches or melt cheddar on toast in the oven, cut into squares and throw in the soup.
You can also serve a bowl of tomato soup with crusty bread or a sandwich of your preference.

Storage
Place soup leftovers in an airtight container and store for up to 4 days. You can freeze cooled portions of this delicious soup for up to 3 months, and thaw and reheat to enjoy later.
Make sure to save and print this great recipe next time it’s tomato season.
I personally won’t pass up a good sale on tomatoes at the farmers market, to make this perfect recipe again and again.
For the way the house smells while cooking to that creamy robust flavour of the fresh ingredients.
This is a recipe worth taking the time to make, by far the best tomato soup recipe.
