A simple and flavorful roasted tomato soup made by roasting fresh tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and garlic, then blending with herbs and chicken broth for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Roma tomatoes, halved
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and quartered
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place tomatoes, onion, red bell pepper, and garlic on a baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  5. Transfer roasted vegetables to a blender, add basil and parsley, and puree until smooth.
  6. Pour the puree into a large pot and add chicken broth.
  7. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

Roasting the vegetables intensifies their natural sweetness and flavor, making this soup rich without added cream. For a vegan version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth. Serve with grilled cheese or crusty bread for a classic pairing.
