Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

Hi friends! I’m excited to share with you my new favorite comfort food: Roasted tomato basil soup. It’s stupidly easy to make and only requires 8 everyday ingredients (plus some toppings).

It needs no cream but the texture is incredibly rich and creamy.

Roast, blend, reheat, top, and serve. It’s that simple.

Let’s go!

Ingredients

• 1 kg plum tomatoes (2.2 lb.), quartered
• 3 medium-large onions (cut into petals, or roughly chopped)*
• 7 large garlic cloves (sliced, or use whole)*
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• 3 handful fresh basil
• 2 cups water (or use veggie stock)
• Extra virgin olive oil (topping)
• Croutons (topping)
• Chopped fresh basil leaves (topping)
• Sea salt flakes

Instructions

• To a baking sheet, add tomato + onion + garlic.
• Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt + pepper. Massage / mix well using your hands.
• Transfer to a preheated oven and roast for 50 minutes at 230 C (445 F). Every oven is different so you might have to adjust this by as much as 10-15 minutes (just make sure the tomatoes are nicely roasted).

  *NOTE: Onion + garlic roast faster than tomatoes, and they may burn depending on how you chop them.

  Petal-cut onions + sliced garlic may char (which is good), but then they may also burn (not good). So you'll have to remove them at 30-35 minute mark.

  If you're using roughly chopped onion + whole garlic, you don't have to worry about them burning.
• Once roasted, let it cool for 3-4 minutes and transfer everything to a high-speed blender.
• Add fresh basil leaves + water to the blender and blend until creamy.
• Transfer it to a saucepan and reheat (do not boil - boiling will affect the taste of fresh basil).
• Transfer to serving bowl(s) and top with extra virgin olive oil + toasted breads / croutons + freshly chopped basil + sea salt flakes. Enjoy! 🙂

Notes

1. You can also use 50-50 plum and cheery tomatoes. 
2. The nutritional chart does not contain macros from the toppings.
