If you have time, make this homemade Roasted Tomato Soup recipe. It’s delicious, creamy and you can really taste the REAL tomatoes!
Roasted Tomato Soup
I’ve always been one to reach for the prepared can on Tomato Soup, why not, it tastes good! Yet one day I didn’t have any yet I had a lot of tomatoes to use up. So, I decided it was time to try and make my own Roasted Tomato Soup.
Wow!
Not saying that I’ll never go back to canned tomato soup again, I know I will. Yet, if I have a bit more time, I wouldn’t hesitate to make this recipe again. It’s delicious – creamy and you can really taste the REAL tomatos! And, it makes me feel all domesticated and such, bwaaaa!!!
Serve with croutons, or like my kids prefer: Top with mini grilled cheese croutons! You simply make a grilled cheese sandwich or melt cheddar on toast in the oven – cut into squares and throw in the soup.
For other classic soups to try, make this creamy potato soup, or this easy french onion soup recipe.
If you have time, make this Roasted Tomato Soup recipe. It's delicious, creamy and you can really taste the REAl tomatoes!
- 5 lbs ripe tomatoes
- 1 onion
- 1/2 garlic
- olive oil
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp sugar
- salt & pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 450º. Line a large cookie sheet with foil.
- Cut tomatoes into quarters or sixths if the tomatos are larger.
- Cut onion in half.
- Place tomatoes and onions on the foiled pan.
- Wrap 1/2 garlic head {sliced horizontally} in foil and add to the pan.
- Drizzle olive oil over the tomatos and onion; add generous amounts of salt & pepper.
- Mix with hands to coat vegetables.
- Roast for 45-50 minutes until beginning to brown or char.
- Add roasted tomatoes and all the juices to cooking pot and add chicken stock and sugar.
- Squeeze garlic pulp without the skins, into the pot.
- After heated and the chicken stock and tomatoes have begun to merge flavors, ladle 1/3 - 1/2 the mixture into a blender. 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 tomatoes.
- Return all blended mixture to the pan and heat.
- Add the cream.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, add more salt and pepper if needed.

Jeannie says
11/15/2012 at 8:49 amThanks for the recipe. I’m definitely bookmarking this for next summer. My mom’s garden is always over-flowing with tomatoes, more than you can shake a stick at, and I’ve been running out of ideas on what to do with them. We eat and eat and give and give and yet there are always more of them. Thanks!
Tammi says
11/16/2012 at 2:21 pmYes, I got so many cases of tomatos in the Fall, you could freeze them too!!
Jeannie says

Marybeth Mank says
12/17/2012 at 6:17 amHere in Texas, a French cafe chain called La Madeleine was born. One of my most fave menu items is their tomato basil soup. I so crave this soup but I have yet to duplicate it exactly. (I am thoroughly convinced their recipe is enchanted to prevent duplication just so you have to go to them when you need a soup fix…LOLOLOLOL!!!!!) This recipe looks delicious enough to forego La Madeleine, especially when paired with your chicken caesar sammy. 🙂 I also liked your recipe for homemade Shake ‘n Bake, too.
Naomi Osborn says
12/18/2012 at 11:09 amGreat alternative to the yucky canned stuff! I wonder if I can make it with skim milk powder and water instead of cream…
Jess C says

Teresa Claire says
10/25/2013 at 8:14 pmThis looks amazing, Tammi and I love nothing more than Tomato Soup especially in the winter! My Mum always kept canned tomato soup in the house. Now, she makes her own incredible soups. I don’t buy canned soup anymore because of my food allergies. This recipe really is a keeper for me and I will try this out, thank you!!
Teresa Claire says
11/02/2013 at 6:55 pmThis soup was a ‘wife saver’ while Michael was recovering. I also made a Carrot & Ginger soup. I think he enjoyed me doing the cooking for a change.
dawn says
11/15/2013 at 3:50 pmI always ate canned tomato soup as a kid but would definitely prefer to make homemade if it tastes as good! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Ester G says
12/08/2013 at 2:50 pmThis looks great, and not too difficult! This time of year is perfect for making soups, I cannot wait to try this one 🙂
Christy Martin says
12/13/2013 at 7:51 amHmm…I was looking for something like this. Hoping it might work with some bagged frozen tomatoes I have from the summer. I will see how it looks once they thaw a bit!
Suzanne G says
01/11/2014 at 8:33 amI love canned tomato soup so I am going to try this homemade version as it would be much healthier I am sure. Love the idea of grilled cheese croutons on soup.
Renee says
01/25/2014 at 1:15 pmI’ll have to give this a try. I love the flavor of roasted tomatoes with a little char on them!
Teresa Claire says
02/05/2014 at 2:06 pmThat’s what my soup needs…garlic, onion, oil and tomatoes! I have printed this out but couldn’t find it when I started!
Karen E. Hill says
04/01/2014 at 11:56 amI have always wanted to try this thanks for the recipe
Alison Braidwood says
08/13/2015 at 12:05 pmThis looks so yummy, and so much healthier than store-bought soup.
