Description
Easy Creamy Roasted Garlic Tomato Soup is a rich and flavorful dish made with oven-roasted tomatoes, garlic, and onion, blended until smooth and finished with fresh basil and cream. It’s a comforting meal that’s both easy to prepare and packed with bold, savory flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 lb tomatoes, fresh (about 900 g)
- 1 whole head garlic
- 1 small onion
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss tomatoes, onion, and garlic with olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
2. Spread vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes, until tomatoes are soft and garlic is fragrant.
3. Let roasted vegetables cool slightly. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves from the head.
4. Add garlic, tomatoes, onion, basil, and broth to a blender. Blend until smooth.
5. Pour the blended mixture into a pot over medium heat.
6. Stir in the heavy cream, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and heat until warmed through. Do not boil.
7. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil or a drizzle of cream.
Notes
Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor.
You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream for a lighter version.
Add croutons or grilled cheese on the side for a hearty meal.
This soup stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days or can be frozen for longer storage.
