A quick and comforting tomato soup made from fresh ingredients without any cream, perfect for cozy nights and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) fresh Roma tomatoes
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 3 cups (720ml) vegetable broth, low-sodium recommended
  • A handful of fresh basil leaves (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, a pinch)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the chopped tomatoes, carrot, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread evenly and roast for 25-30 minutes until the tomatoes are blistered and caramelized, and the veggies are tender.
  2. While roasting, mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
  3. Transfer the roasted veggies to a large pot. Add the minced garlic and vegetable broth. Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes to marry the flavors.
  4. Remove the pot from heat and blend the soup using an immersion blender or countertop blender until smooth and velvety. Blend in small batches and vent the lid slightly to avoid splattering.
  5. Return the blended soup to low heat. Stir in fresh basil leaves and lemon juice. Adjust salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Warm gently for 5 minutes, then serve hot.

Notes

If the soup is too thick, add more broth or water to reach desired consistency. To reduce acidity, add a small pinch of sugar. Use an immersion blender to avoid splattering hot soup. For creaminess without dairy, blend in cooked white beans or a splash of coconut milk. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
