    🍴Ingredient Notes

    Overhead shot of tomato basil soup.
    • Tomatoes - I used a mix of roughly chopped garden fresh tomatoes! Plum tomatoes or any round tomatoes will work.
    • Garlic - If you're planning to roast the garlic, keep the cloves together so they don't burn easily. The garlic cooks faster than the tomatoes. I usually just slice off the top!
    • Fresh Basil - You can substitute with ½ teaspoon dried basil.
    • Red Pepper Flakes - I love adding red pepper flakes for a little kick, but you can use some black pepper for a more subtle spice.

    🍴Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1:

    Start by adding the chopped tomatoes into a large casserole dish or on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place the cloves of garlic in the middle. Drizzle over olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

    Step 2:

    Bake at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes. Check the garlic halfway to make sure it's not burning! (It will cook a little faster.)

    Step 3:

    Once the tomatoes and garlic are done, carefully remove them from the oven. Place the roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, fresh basil, and red pepper flakes into a sauce pan. Use an immersion blender to blend until you reach your desired consistency. You can also use a blender, and then transfer into your pan after. Let the soup simmer for 5-10 minutes in the sauce pan. Serve hot!

    Helpful Tips

    • I prefer using a casserole dish to roast my tomatoes, but you can use a baking sheet too! The casserole dish is easier because the tomatoes release a lot of water while they roast.
    • Keep an eye on the garlic - it will cook much faster than the tomatoes!
    • You can use a regular blender or immersion blender to puree the soup. I like adding all of the ingredients into the soup pan and blending with the immersion blender so I have less dishes to clean!
    • If you'd like the soup thinner, feel free to add some vegetable broth or coconut milk.
    • After you blend the soup, make sure you simmer it in the sauce pan for a few minutes.
    • I love serving the soup with homemade croutons or a thick slice of toast! It would also pair well with my Focaccia Bread!

    How to store leftover soup

    You can freeze leftover soup in a freezer safe glass container. Make sure it’s cooled to room temperature before placing it in the freezer. You can also store leftovers for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. I use Ello containers because they’re freezer & microwave safe. To reheat soup, transfer it into a small sauce pan on medium heat until it’s to your desired temperature. (You can also use a microwave!)
