How to make Roasted Tomato Soup
Roast the Vegetables
- Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the halved tomatoes, quartered onion, and garlic bulb on a baking sheet.
- Step 2
Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are caramelized and the garlic is soft.
Prepare the Soup
- Step 1
Once roasted, squeeze the softened garlic cloves out of their skins.
- Step 2
Transfer the roasted tomatoes, onions, and garlic to a large pot. Add the vegetable or chicken stock, coconut cream, dried basil, chili flakes, and additional seasoning if needed.
- Step 3
Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth. For a finer texture, strain the soup through a sieve, reserving the pulp for another dish if desired.
- Step 4
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and drizzle a bit of coconut milk on top for extra creaminess. Serve hot.

FAQS

What are some good substitutions for ingredients in roasted tomato soup?
If you don't have coconut cream, you can substitute it with cashew cream or a splash of almond milk for a lighter version. For the tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes if fresh ones are not available, but roasting fresh tomatoes adds a unique flavor. Additionally, if you prefer a milder soup, you can skip the chili flakes.
How should I store leftover roasted tomato soup?

Roasted tomato soup pairs wonderfully with grilled cheese sandwiches, crusty bread, or a fresh garden salad. For a heartier meal, consider serving it with a side of quinoa or a warm baguette to soak up the delicious soup.
What is the best cooking method for achieving rich flavors in roasted tomato soup?
Roasting the tomatoes, onions, and garlic at a high temperature caramelizes their natural sugars, enhancing the flavors of the soup.
