Roasted Tomato Basil Soup Recipe
Fresh, homemade Tomato Basil Soup. Roasting the tomatoes and onions brings out the best flavors, and it's perfect by itself or served with a gooey grilled cheese sandwich.
Serving4
Ingredients
- 9 medium Roma tomatoes, halved
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 14 fresh basil leaves
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Place tomatoes and onions on the baking sheet, then sprinkle with garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss with olive oil, then bake for 20-25 minutes, until tender.
- In a high-powered blender, place roasted tomatoes and onions, then add the fresh basil leaves. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer tomato mixture to a stock pot. Add in heavy cream and butter, and heat over medium heat until warmed through (make sure it doesn't boil).
- Serve warm.
- We like to serve ours with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh basil, and a side of grilled cheese.
Notes
-
This recipe serves 4 when used as a side. If you're using this as a main dish, I would say it serves 2.
