What ingredients do you need for this roasted tomato soup recipe?
Tomatoes: We are using farmer’s market roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes as the base for this tomato soup but, you can totally opt to use any tomatoes on hand like heirloom tomatoes, plum tomatoes or any tomatoes you can find and love!
To finish off the base of the soup: yellow onion, head of garlic or one head cloves garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, vegetable broth (to keep this vegetarian!) or chicken broth.
Heavy cream:If you want to make this recipe vegetarian friendly (and omit the cheesy toasts), remove the cream all together or sub with full fat coconut milk.
Fresh basil leaves: We are blending with, and topping basil with this soup. But you can also use any of your favorite fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to name a few.
Balsamic vinegar: I love the tartness and acidity of balsamic vinegar in my tomato soup. However, if your tomatoes are super tangy already, this may be fine to omit!
Salt and pepper:With options to add other seasonings like red pepper flakes.
For your Gruyère Toasts:We are using a sourdough baguette (French works too), olive oil, shredded gruyère cheese and salt and pepper. You can also opt to use parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese, or even a shredded gouda would be fun and smoky in this recipe!
Instructions to make the best tomato soup
Begin the base of your tomato soup
To make this in the oven:Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In an oven safe dish, toss in your tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil and salt and pepper in a single layer. Roast for 30-40 minutes until everything is tender and the tomatoes are beginning to burst and char.
If you want to cook this on the stovetop alternatively:Place all the same above ingredients with olive oil, salt and pepper and sauté in a large pot on medium heat. Let it simmer out, burst and get tender!
Make your toasts
In the meantime, on a baking sheet, thinly slice baguette, drizzle on olive oil and shredded gruyère to cover the surface area of the toasts, season with salt and pepper. Bake until the gruyère is melted, a little crispy and the thing slices of baguette are crispy, about 15 minutes. Set aside until serving. These cheese croutons are so good.
Blend and serve!
Once your mixture is fully roasted, pour your tomato mixture in a high speed blender (alternatively you can use an immersion blender) with vegetable broth, or chicken broth and your basil leaves, make sure you include all the liquid, oils and tomato juices from the pan from roasting! Blend until smooth.
Adjust with salt, pepper and sugar. Finish with heavy cream and balsamic vinegar. Adjust seasoning to your preference. Serve in bowls, top with your toasts, fresh basil and serve!

Instructions
Begin the base of your tomato soup. To make this in the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In an oven safe dish, toss in your tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast for 30-40 minutes until everything is tender and the tomatoes are beginning to burst and char.
If you want to cook this on the stovetop alternatively as another method (no oven): Place all the same above ingredients with olive oil, salt and pepper in a large pot on medium heat. Let it simmer out, burst and get tender!
Make your toasts. In the meantime, on a baking sheet, thinly slice baguette, drizzle on olive oil and shredded gruyère to cover the surface area of the toasts, season with salt and pepper. Bake until the gruyère is melted, a little crispy and the thing slices of baguette are crispy, about 15 minutes. Set aside until serving.
Blend and serve! Once your mixture is fully roasted, pour your tomato mixture in a high speed blender (alternatively you can use an immersion blender). You will squeeze out the roasted garlic in the blender, and discard the skins. Blend with vegetable broth, or chicken broth and your basil leaves, make sure you include all the liquid, oils and tomato juices from the pan from roasting! Blend until smooth.
Serve! Adjust with salt, pepper and sugar. Finish with heavy cream and balsamic vinegar. Adjust seasoning to your preference. Serve in bowls, top with your toasts, fresh basil and serve!
