It feels ludicrous to post a 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…

I have to admit though, finding a good melty vegan cheese isn’t easy. I personally can’t stand Daiya. The flavor, the ingredients…it’s just not my bag. I did find one recently called Parmela Creamy Nutcheese that’s pretty tasty.

I mean they probably could have picked a better name than nutcheese but I guess it gets the point across. The first ingredient is cashew milk. It’s also aged so it has more of a real cheese flavor which I personally enjoy, and it melts well too.

But I digress, this post isn’t about vegan cheese. It’s not sponsored by that cheese company either. I just felt it was important to discuss quality dairy-free cheeses given the topic of tomato soup. :)

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.

Making it is as simple as dicing the tomatoes, onion and garlic then roasting them until their flavors truly shine. From there you just transfer them to a blender with vegetable broth and herbs, and blend until smooth.

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.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds heirloom (or regular) tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
  • 1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
  • high heat oil
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 8 basil leaves + more for garnishing fresh

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425°F . Arrange the diced tomatoes, onion and garlic on a baking sheet then toss (or spray) with high heat oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then roast in the oven for 35 minutes. Set aside to cool for at least 5 minutes.

Transfer roasted vegetables into a blender with 1 cup of vegetable broth, oregano and basil leaves. Pulse until a thick and chunky texture is achieved (or smoother, if desired). Pour into a large pot and add more broth as needed. Alternatively, you could use an immersion blender and blend everything in the pot.

Warm the pot over medium heat until the soup is heated through. Add more salt to taste, if desired. Serve warm garnished with chopped basil and a side of grilled cheese, and enjoy!
