This fresh tomato soup recipe is very simple. It does take some time to roast the tomatoes and simmer the soup. That time is well-spent because it means you will have a deeply flavored soup. The good thing is you won’t be standing by the stove the whole time.
Roasting brings out and enhances the tomato flavor. Simmering infuses the other flavorings with the tomatoes for extra richness.
Fresh tomato soup is vegetarian and gluten-free. So even people with unique dietary requirements can enjoy this soup.
What I love about this soup recipe is that chances are you already have most of this in your pantry. I always keep onions, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper at home.

Your right, there aren’t three ingredients in this soup. I have modified the text. I am sorry about the confusion.

Bake the tomatoes for 75 minutes. That seems like a long time to me but I’m anxious to try this recipe so I thought I should check. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Tomatoes can very wet, and cooking out the water, can take some time.

Saw a video on epicurious that was this same recipe. Video didn’t have the details so I found your website.
Very impressed how this came out. I’m sure a can of crushed tomatoes would be cheaper than out-of-season roma tomatoes, but it was fun doing the roasting.

At whole foods I have purchased cans of roasted tomatoes, but the fresh ones are better.
