To me, there’s nothing better than a warm bowl of homemade tomato soup on a chilly fall day! This creamy roasted tomato soup is so easy to make, full of flavour and even better when paired with a crispy, cheesy grilled cheese sandwich. Not only is it the perfect cozy comfort meal, but it’s also one of my favourites of all time!

Ingredients

  • 8 medium tomatoes, halved
  • 1 yellow onion, quartered
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • ¼ cup fresh basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Parmesan, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the tomatoes, onion and garlic on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Roast for 30–35 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.
  3. Transfer to a blender with the vegetable broth, tomato paste, basil and oregano. Blend until smooth.
  4. Pour into a pot, stir in the cream and simmer for 5–10 minutes.
  5. Serve warm with a little Parmesan on top and your favourite grilled cheese on the side!

A little homemade comfort food is sometimes all you need to brighten a chilly day. Enjoy!
