Easy Homemade Creamy Tomato Soup (Best 30-Min Recipe!)
The absolute best easy homemade creamy tomato soup recipe! Made with fresh roasted tomatoes, garlic, and basil. The ultimate comforting bowl!
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs fresh Roma or plum tomatoes halved
- 1 medium yellow onion quartered
- 5 cloves garlic whole
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves plus more for garnish
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Toss tomatoes, onion, and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F until blistered.
- Blend roasted vegetables with vegetable broth until completely smooth.
- Pour blended soup into a pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream gradually.
- Stir in fresh basil off the heat right before serving.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before ladling into bowls.
Notes
- Never boil the soup after adding the cream; keep it at a gentle simmer to prevent curdling.
- Use an immersion blender directly in the pot for convenience, avoiding the need to transfer hot liquid to a countertop blender.
- Roast the tomatoes until well blistered and slightly charred for the best natural sweetness and reduced acidity.
