Easy Creamy Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup + VIDEO

This flavorful, creamy Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup recipe is made with a handful of simple ingredients- fresh cherry tomatoes, heavy cream, broth and basil. It’s gluten-free and vegetarian with Vegan option.

Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup tastes so FRESH! It’s very simple to make too. It all starts with vine ripe cherry tomatoes. Garden tomatoes will be spectacular in this recipe but, store bought will be great too.

A tasty homemade soup warms you up makes you feel good inside! I’m a BIG advocate of making your own soup so you can control the sodium, quality of ingredients and omit the preservatives. It’s better than canned soup.

This delicious tomato soup would be perfect served with your favorite grilled cheese sandwich or a tasty Pastrami on Rye !

Making this soup is a great way to use up older cherry tomatoes or I refer to them as wrinkled tomatoes. Don’t throw them away, make this tasty and easy soup!

Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup

Ingredients

• cherry tomatoes (see substitutions below)
• extra virgin olive oil
• garlic cloves
• fresh basil leaves
• chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
• heavy cream
• salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions Summary

Add some seasoning, extra virgin olive oil and then roast them in the oven.

Then, add cream and use an immersion blender (affiliate link) or stand up blender to puree it.

I like using my immersion blender because it’s easier clean up than using my stand up blender for recipes like this but, you can also use it to make something as common as mashed potatoes.

Add tomatoes with oil from baking pan to a blender. Add broth (chicken or vegetable), fresh basil, salt, black pepper and cream. Blend on low until smooth (30-60 seconds.)

Or use a hand blender. Blend until creamy.

NOTE: If you choose to strain the tomato skin, do it before you add the cream, broth, basil, salt and pepper.

This soup is super simple and tastes so incredibly good! It’s a great way to use up garden cherry tomatoes.

Pro Tips

Use sweet cherry tomatoes. I buy the sweetest cherry tomatoes I can find at the grocery store. The brand I use is called Flavor Bombs. They cost more, but are worth the extra money.

Use fresh heavy cream from a local dairy if possible. It makes a notable difference in freshness and creaminess.

If possible, use homemade chicken broth! Whenever I cook chicken in my slow cooker, I save the broth and freeze it to make soup or chicken pot pie.

Don’t use dried basil for this recipe. Fresh basil will go much further with added flavor and freshness.

Substitutions and Additions

• If you don’t like tomato skin in the soup, use a strainer (affiliate link) to remove it before adding the cream, broth, basil, salt and pepper.
• Use grape tomatoes or cocktail tomatoes if cherry tomatoes aren’t available.
• If you don’t have heavy cream, use half and half if that’s what you have on hand.
• Make this recipe vegan by omitting the cream or use coconut milk.
• Use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth if you prefer. 
• Add a quartered, peeled onion to the baking sheet and puree it along with the tomatoes.

What to serve with Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup

• Put homemade croutons on top.
• Put grated or shredded parmesan cheese on top.
• Serve it next to a grilled cheese sandwich of course!
• Serve it with a Grilled Lemon Rosemary Chicken or wraps.
• Eat it alongside a nice Easy Arugula Salad with Lemon Dressing and Shaved Parmesan.

Storage

Store this tomato soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days for maximum freshness. 

I discovered this tasty soup while making my Creamy Cherry Tomato Sauce. It was a fantastic discovery too.

As a matter of fact, you could roast a whole bunch of cherry tomatoes and use some to make the soup and some for the tomato sauce, which can be frozen for later use.

This soup is perfect to make in September when the temperature is dropping and garden tomatoes (and basil too) are still producing the end of the crop.

However, you can buy cherry tomatoes throughout the colder months at the grocery store and still make this yummy soup. It makes a great lunch on cooler weather days.

It’s not only delicious, it’s easy-to-make!
