Easy Sheet-Pan Roasted Tomato Soup
Cozy Up with the Best Roasted Tomato Soup
Is there anything more comforting than a warm bowl of tomato soup on a chilly day? This isn’t just any tomato soup, though. Our Roasted Tomato Soup takes this classic comfort food to a whole new level. Roasting the tomatoes, onion, and garlic brings out their natural sweetness and creates a depth of flavor you won’t find in traditional recipes. It’s simple to make, incredibly satisfying, and perfect for a weeknight dinner, a light lunch, or even a sophisticated appetizer.
Why Roast the Tomatoes?
Roasting is the key! It concentrates the flavors of the tomatoes, making them sweeter and more complex. The slight caramelization adds a beautiful depth that transforms the soup from good to amazing. Plus, it’s mostly hands-off time in the oven, making it a breeze to prepare.
What Does it Taste Like?
Imagine a rich, velvety smooth soup with a vibrant tomato flavor, subtly sweet, and with a hint of warmth from the red pepper flakes. The roasted garlic adds a mellow sweetness that complements the tomatoes perfectly. It’s a flavor explosion in every spoonful!
Serving Suggestions
This Roasted Tomato Soup is delicious on its own, but it’s even better with a few tasty toppings! Try a swirl of cream or a dollop of pesto. Grilled cheese croutons are highly recommended. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or thyme adds a lovely finishing touch.
