Description

Creamy roasted tomato soup with basil, smoky paprika, and a velvety finish. Simple, cozy, freezer friendly, and perfect with grilled cheese.


Ingredients

Scale

4 pounds Campari tomatoes or tomatoes on the vine

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, cut into 8 pieces

12 garlic cloves, halved or quartered if large

1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

1 tablespoon oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 cup vegetable broth or chicken stock

1/4 cup heavy cream, plus more for serving if desired

1/2 cup fresh basil, loosely packed, plus extra for garnish


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.

2. Cut tomatoes in half and place in a large baking dish with onion and garlic.

3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, oregano, and smoked paprika.

4. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway through, until caramelized.

5. Transfer roasted vegetables and their juices to a pot with fresh basil.

6. Blend until smooth using an immersion or standard blender.

7. Stir in vegetable broth and heavy cream.

8. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes to combine flavors.

9. Adjust salt to taste; add a pinch of sugar if too acidic.

10. Serve hot, garnished with chopped basil and a swirl of cream.

Notes

Use ripe, in season tomatoes for more sweetness.

Roast tomatoes cut side up for better caramelization.

Add a pinch of sugar if soup tastes too acidic.

To thicken, simmer longer or blend in a boiled potato or soaked cashews.

Storage: Refrigerate 3 to 4 days; freeze up to 3 months.

Reheating: Warm gently on the stove; add broth or water if too thick.

Serving: Pair with grilled cheese or a side salad.
