    You'll ❤️ This Tomato Soup Recipe

    Got tomatoes? If you'd like a more traditional version of this soup, be sure to make this Tomato and Basil Soup in your Instant Pot, slow cooker, or on the stovetop. You'll also love this Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Soup! If you want another really tasty way to use cherry tomatoes, try Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad - It's full of flavor and extremely easy to make.

    "Nothing beats a bowl of homemade tomato soup on a breezy cold day for me. I love this classic twist using cherry tomatoes!"

    Roasted

    Fresh cherry tomatoes are roasted in either your oven or on the grill in a disposable 9x13 pan on the grill! This will give SO much extra flavor to your soup as well.

    Quick!

    This recipe is easy to follow and is made in less than an hour! You'll get a slow-cooked all-day taste with this soup by roasting your cherry tomatoes ahead of time.

    Healthy

    This soup recipe is low-carb, gluten-free, vegetarian, no-added-sugar, and can be dairy free if you remove the cream and optional cheese. Very satisfying, and easily adjust the seasonings as you prefer them.

    🥘 What You Will Need

    Here are the ingredients you will need to make Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup:

    Fresh Cherry Tomatoes - you can use any tomato of your preference.

    Extra Virgin Olive Oil - or your preferred cooking oil.

    Garlic - fresh minced.

    Kosher salt

    Ground Black Pepper

    Onion

    Celery

    Dried Basil - you can use fresh or dried. My rule of thumb: 1 teaspoon of dried herbs equals 1 tablespoon fresh.

    Dried Oregano - use fresh or dried.

    Tomato Paste

    Vegetable Broth - chicken broth can also be sued.

    Heavy Whipping Cream or Fat-Free Half and Half - if you are following keto, use heavy whipping cream; if you are lowering your fat, use fat-free half and half. For those that want dairy-free, use oat milk or other plant-based milk.

    Optional: parmesan cheese

    For exact ingredient quantities, please see the recipe card below!

    🔪 How To Make

    Here are the step-by-step instructions for making this cherry tomato soup recipe:

    Roast

    Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. (If using the grill to roast your tomatoes, see instructions in the Notes section below).

    Add the cherry tomatoes to a medium-sized bowl. Add olive oil and garlic to the bowl and toss together.

    Place cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, or until very tender.

    Skillet

    Meanwhile, in a skillet, over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, saute your onions and celery until soft.

    Dutch Oven

    In a dutch oven on the stove over medium-high heat, add your onions and celery, add basil, oregano, bay leaf, tomato paste, vegetable broth, and your roasted cherry tomatoes (and their juices).

    Bring to a boil, then reduce your heat to LOW, cover, and gently simmer for 30 minutes.

    Blend

    Using a blender, puree smaller portions of soup until smooth. Add the soup back to the pot. (Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender directly in the pot)

    Finish and Serve

    Slowly stir the cream and add optional parmesan cheese. Continue over low heat, stirring frequently until the desired temperature is reached.

    🥗 How To Serve

    Here are a few ways to serve Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup:

    Garnish with fresh basil or other fresh herbs of your choice. Try topping your soup with crackers or croutons.

    Garnish the top with a drizzle of olive oil or cream and parmesan cheese.

    Meal idea! Serve alongside Italian Baked Chicken Thighs and a fresh salad with Low Carb Keto Italian Dressing Recipe.

    Comfort food: serve this soup with your favorite grilled cheese sandwich.

    📖 Variations

    Here are a few ways you can vary or make substitutions to this recipe:

    • Use your grill to roast your tomatoes! Place tomatoes in a 13x9" disposable pan. Toss with olive oil and garlic. Grill over medium-high heat until very soft (about 15-20 minutes).
    • Spice it up if you'd like! Add some red pepper flakes prior to using your immersion blender. You can also roast some jalapenos with the tomatoes and then blend them into the soup.

    💭 Top Tips

    • Make sure to roast your tomatoes fully.  You want the skins very tender so the skins will puree in the blender easier.
    • Remember to watch your heat when simmering your soup.  The natural sugars in the tomatoes can easily burn to the pan or pot if your heat is set too high.
    • Adjust any seasonings to taste.

    ❓FAQs

    Freeze this soup in an airtight container or in a large zip lock bag for up to 3 months

    What can I do with a glut of cherry tomatoes?
