Admittedly, the method for making this soup is a little unusual. But thanks to some time in the oven, my Roasted Tomato Soup is full of big flavor and comes together easily.

You even get a break while it's hanging out in the oven to do something else. Like make biscuits. Or a cocktail. Or take a nap. Your choice!

Return the pan of veggies to the oven and roast 20 minutes more, or until carrots are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Remove from the oven and allow the veggies to cool for 10-15 minutes.

Carefully pour the contents of the pan into a blender.

Puree the mixture until smooth.

NOTE: If you are making this for meal prep, stop at this point and put the soup in the refrigerator until you're ready to eat it. Then remove it from the fridge and follow the directions below.

Tips on Roasted Tomato Soup

This soup is really thick and creamy.

If your soup is too thick for your preference after blending, add in up to 1 cup of additional broth.

Low sodium broth is important in this recipe.

Look for that notation on the box/can of broth.

Can I use a glass pan?

A metal pan is important for browning and developing flavor during roasting. A glass pan will work, but you’ll lose the depth of the flavor that roasting gives the veggies.

Be sure to use a HIGH SIDED metal pan.

Do not use a sheet pan for roasting the veggies. Your pan needs to have high sides on it in order to contain the broth.

How big should I chop the carrots?

Be sure to chop the carrots into 1” or smaller pieces. Otherwise they won’t cook completely with the other veggies and your soup won’t be smooth.

What goes well with Roasted Tomato Soup?

Enjoy with your favorite grilled cheese sandwiches, and lots of Parmesan cheese.
