It feels ludicrous to post a tomato soup recipe when it’s currently nearing 100 degrees outside, but we only have a few more weeks of tomato season so we have to get while the getting’s good!

Tomato soup and grilled cheese is my all-time favorite comfort food. I just love dipping the grilled cheese in the warm soup so it gets even more melty and delicious. Mmm…

Easy Roasted Tomato Soup Ingredients

  • Tomatoes– I titled this heirloom tomato soup because that’s my favorite variety but you can use any kind of tomatoes you prefer. There’s no hard rules here. Roma tomatoes, beefsteak, even cherry or grape tomatoes will do.
  • Onion– I tend to go for yellow or sweet onions as red onion may be a bit too pungent and will alter the red color of the soup.
  • Garlic– Fresh garlic is a must for optimal flavor.
  • High Heat Oil– We’ll need just a little oil to coat the vegetables as they roast so that they don’t burn. I like to use an extra virgin olive oil spray that I get from Trader Joes but feel free to use whatever high heat oil you prefer.
  • Dried Oregano– A teaspoon of dried oregano adds a subtle herby flavor.
  • Fresh Basil– Using fresh basil really elevates this soup but dried basil (about 1 teaspoon) works if you don’t have fresh basil on hand.
  • Vegetable Broth– Because the ingredients for this tomato soup are minimal, a flavorful broth is key. My go to is Better Than Bouillon.
  • Salt & Pepper– Finish with salt & pepper, to your desired preferences.

It’s a little more effort than buying canned tomato soup but I promise it’s worth every second.

Nothing can beat the flavors of freshly harvested tomatoes roasted with garlic. Especially with a melty grilled cheese. You can just wrap me in a cozy blanket and consider me right at home.
