Tomato soup is one of those foods you love from childhood. This fresh tomato soup is rich, smooth, and made with roasted tomatoes.

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.

Ingredients

Here’s a list of what you need:

  • Roma or plum tomatoes
  • Vegetable oil
  • Yellow onion
  • Salt
  • Heavy cream
  • Water
  • Ground black pepper

I typically buy fresh tomatoes and heavy cream when I need them. So a quick trip to the store and you are in business.

How to Make Tomato Soup with Fresh Tomatoes

  1. Wash tomatoes and slice them in half.
  2. Lay tomatoes skin side down on a baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper on the tomatoes.
  4. Bake at 400 degrees for 75 minutes.
  5. When the tomatoes have about 10 minutes left in their baking, place chopped onions in a large heavy pot over medium heat.
  6. Add olive oil and salt. Sauté the onions until they are translucent.
  7. Add the roasted tomatoes, heavy cream, and water to the pot.
  8. Bring to boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes.
  9. Puree soup with a blender.

When the soup is done, you might want to serve it with a grilled cheese sandwich or toss in a few croutons.

I know you are going to love how easy it is to make amazing tomato soup with fresh tomatoes. You never knew it was so easy to make homemade soup like this before.

    I love this recipe. I actually smoked my tomatoes then grilled them. It came out so Yummy! So easy to make. Thank you for posting this recipe.

    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.

    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.
