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!

Tips on Roasted Tomato Soup
If your soup is too thick for your preference after blending, add in up to 1 cup of additional broth.
Look for that notation on the box/can of broth.
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.
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.
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.
Enjoy with your favorite grilled cheese sandwiches, and lots of Parmesan cheese.
