Fresh tomatoes and basil fill this tomato basil soup recipe with rich, savory flavor. I love this soup with a grilled cheese sandwich or lots of crusty bread. Find more serving suggestions in the post above!

Ingredients

  • roma tomatoes

    halved

    2 ½ lb
  • extra-virgin olive oil
    ¼ c
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • yellow onion

    chopped

    1 medium

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the tomatoes cut side up on the baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 1 hour, or until the edges just start to shrivel and the insides are still juicy.

  2. 2

    Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, garlic, and ½ teaspoon salt and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, vegetable broth, vinegar, and thyme leaves and simmer for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Let cool slightly and pour the soup into a blender, working in batches if necessary. Blend until smooth. Add the basil and pulse until combined.

  4. 4

    Season to taste, ladle into bowls, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
