This roasted tomato basil soup is a classic comfort food made healthier with minimal fresh ingredients. Tomatoes are roasted to bring out the depth of their flavor, while onions are caramelized with fresh garlic on the stove. These simple ingredients are combined with fresh basil for a huge health boost of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. The fresh basil also enhances the flavor without adding extra salt or fat. Combine with a salad or your favorite grilled cheese for a comforting dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs. Roma or vine tomatoes
  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil (divided)
  • 1 tsp. salt (divided)
  • 1 large onion (sliced)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic (diced)
  • 3 cups low sodium chicken (or vegetable broth)
  • ¾ cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)
  • Optional toppings: fresh Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • If tomatoes are large, quarter them. If they are small or medium sized, halve them and spread across the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and sprinkle on ½ tsp. salt. Place in preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.
  • When tomatoes have 15 minutes left to roast, set a large soup pot on stove over medium heat and add remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Once oil is hot, add sliced onion, diced garlic and remaining ½ tsp. salt and sauté for 10 minutes, until onion is caramelized. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  • Remove roasted tomatoes from the oven and carefully add them to your soup pot, along with any juices from the pan. Pour in broth and bring soup to a simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in fresh basil leaves. Carefully use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. You can do this in a blender in batches too.
  • Taste soup and add additional salt and pepper as needed. Serve with optional fresh Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.

Notes

  • This recipe is delicious after a day or two and makes a great meal prep option.
  • To add extra protein to this soup and round out a full meal, add shredded rotisserie chicken after it’s been blended.
