Creamy Roasted Tomato Basil Soup (No Cream)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

An easy and Creamy Roasted Tomato Basil Soup full of incredible flavours, naturally thickened with no need for cream cheese or heavy creams!

Ready in less than 30 minutes, our tomato soup recipe is loved by so many readers around the world! For kids to ask for this Creamy Roasted Tomato Basil Soup repetitively, it must mean something…right?

Tomato Soup

Full of basil and a hint of garlic, this soup will most likely be on you weekly rotation, no matter the season. I garnished this soup with blistered tomato pieces, shaved parmesan and basil. Make ahead and freeze in advance OR serve immediately.

This soup is the perfect start to a meal, or as a meal in itself. To get that creamy texture, I added in a secret weapon. No cream cheese or heavy/thickened creams are needed.

Roasted Tomatoes

With tomato soup, you can go the quick route and pour canned tomatoes in a pot and simmer them for 15-20 minutes until they’re soft. Or, you can go the really lazy route, (which I have done on more than 552 occasions), and heat tomato soup directly from a can. The problem with that is:

  1. Bland flavours
  2. You don’t know what’s in it

Then there’s this recipe. Going that extra step and roasting tomatoes along with whole (smashed) garlic cloves on a sheet pan until they’re soft and sweetened naturally with their own juices, develops a natural flavour incomparable to canned soup.

Most people I know are completely turned off making tomato soup because if you can get it in a can, then what’s the point of going through all of the hassle of making your own, right? Not  ‘neymore. The flavours in this soup cannot be found on any supermarket shelf. Any. Where.

How To Make Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup

  • I use a humble potato to thicken this soup. Of course you can leave it out if you wish, but is adds a thick and creamy texture and compliments the tomato flavour nicely. However, you can use thickened cream if you wish! (About 1/2 – 3/4 cup for the whole pot.)
  • If using the potato, fry it along with diced onion and red bell peppers (capsicums), until the onion is transparent and the potatoes are beginning to crisp up adds even more flavour into this soup (while your tomatoes are roasting).
  • Pour in your broth/stock and simmer the potatoes until they’re soft.
  • Add the tomatoes once they’re done; add the basil; blitz with a stick blender, and viola! SOUP! No additives, preservatives or artificial colours/flavours, and homemade soup done in less than 30 minutes.

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 50 mins
Total: 1 hr
Serves: 6 serves

Ingredients

  • 1.2 kg | 2 1/2 lbs Roma tomatoes , halved lengthwise
  • 600 g | 1 1/4 lbs Grape (or Cherry) tomatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 8 whole cloves garlic , peeled and smashed with the back of a knife
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped (optional)
  • 1 red bell pepper (capsicum), deseeded and diced
  • 1 potato (100 g | 3 oz), diced
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves , roughly torn

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 430°F | 220°C. Place tomatoes on a baking tray with the garlic cloves. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for about 25 minutes, or until soft and charred on the tops.
  • While tomatoes are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium-sized pot/saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, peppers (capsicum) and potato; cook while occasionally stirring, until the onion is transparent and the potato begin to crisp on the outer edges (about 6-7 minutes). Stir the tomato paste through the potatoes and onion; pour in the broth/stock; season with extra salt; cover and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low; simmer for about 15 minutes or until potato is just tender when tested with a fork. Add the tomatoes, garlic and basil to the broth (save 2 tablespoons of basil to use as garnish if you wish); continue to simmer until the basil is just soft (about 2 minutes). Blend soup using a stick blender until smooth.
  • Optional: Pour the soup through a strainer or colander to remove any skins and thick tomato pieces, for a smoother soup.
  • Sprinkle with extra basil, shaved parmesan cheese, and serve with cheesy garlic bread

    Made this soup today and it was fabulous! I am not a huge fan of basil so I only used about 1/2 that amount but followed the rest exactly. I was so surprised I did not need to drain it to get skins and seeds out. It was so creamy and without any cream! And start to finish it was ready in under an hour.

    Made this and it was so delicious, even made the garlic cheese toast for lunch. I roasted the tomatoes before I found the soup recipe so missed adding the garlic to the cherry tomatoes when I roasted the cherry tomatoes. I added the garlic to the end of sauté the onions and potato. I used garlic roasted broth so hoped it would help. Would definitely make this again. I’m going to roast more tomatoes and freeze them to use over the winter. Thanks for sharing the recipe. We totally loved it.

    🍅 Tomato Soup is one of my faves. Saw this recipe, and put it on the dinner menu, for this week.
    Picked up the ingredients yesterday…….and am cooking it today, for an easy dinner, tomorrow night.
    Of course I had to do a taste test…….OMG……soooo good! Serving it with grilled cheese 🥪 sandwiches. Easy Monday night dinner.

    This soup is so good and so easy to make! I have made it twice now, and loved it both times. I used a sweet potato the first time, as I did not have any potatoes. It was still good. I stuck with the sweet potato the second time, and then had to use chicken broth, as I was out of vegetable broth, and it was still amazing! My house smells so good with the roasted garlic and tomatoes! I made the garlic cheese toast too. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

    This was a first for me. I had never made homemade tomato soup. I always stayed away from those recipes because of creams. But this recipe had potato so I tried it – I loved it and so did my husband. It’s a keeper!!! I followed the directions with only 2 changes – I had garlic already minced and I didn’t have fresh basil so I used dried. Still it was delicious. Can’t wait to make it again.!!!!

    I made this soup today and it was wonderful, I did do a little tweaking with it but not much. Our garden is gone except for a few large cherry tomatoes that are still producing so since I had quite a few I decided to roast them in the oven with some garlic and basil and a little olive oil, then I pureed everything until it was smooth. I used a sweet potato since recipe did not specify and added extra garlic powder and about a 1/2 cup of Port Wine, I also added some bouillon, let it all simmer and served it with grilled ham and Fontina cheese sandwiches with a few Frito chips on the side to drop on top of the soup. It was a hit with the husband, I have plenty left over for another meal which I am looking forward to! Thanks for the recipe it was perfect timing for me. I will make this one again!

      This is what I have found when I googled it: If you don’t have it: Substitute 1 tablespoon tomato paste with 2 to 3 tablespoons tomato puree or tomato sauce (reduce liquid in recipe by 2 to 3 tablespoons); or boil tomato puree or sauce until reduced to 1 tablespoon. Hope that helps! Enjoy!

    Reply
    • Bailee says

      April 08, 2019 at 3:46 am

      Since the recipe doesn’t specify, the sodium content probably comes from the vegetable broth. When you look at the side of a container of store-bought broth, it tends to be a frightening percentage of the daily recommended intake. Buy no-sodium broth! You can pretty much find it everywhere. I usually purchase it from Walmart.

My changes for instant pot instructions, sauté onions, red pepper and potato in IP. Add 4 tsp Better than bouillon vegetable base and the tomato paste to the onion, red pepper and potato. Add the 4 cups of water and all the roasted tomatoes and garlic to the IP. Pressure cook for eight minutes then QR this will take 4 minutes. Open pot add the basil mix well until basil wilts and blend with immersion blender. Yummy!

    LOOOOOVE this. It’s quite a big batch so I freeze the leftovers and use them for everything! In pasta sauces, make another kind of soup, the possibilities are endless!

    Hi Karina – When you say 2 potatoes (200g/7 oz), do you mean 7 oz each or 7 oz total?

    LOVED the soup, next time I will sprinkle a little raw sugar on the tomatoes before roasting, and I didnt have enough fresh basil! Next time I will put the correct amount in. It was still AMAZING !! I didn’t peel the taters, and left the skin on the tomatoes also. What a great recipe!! I am thinking I may throw a jalapeno in next time??!!

    I just made this as part of a vegan Easter lunch spread for my family. I added Yves brand “meatballs”, and turned it into meatball soup and paired with some pressed Italian sandwiches and Caesar salad. So beyond delish! Thanks so much for sharing…will be having this on the regular. ?

    Can’t wait to make this. I will also make a grilled Cheese sandwich and cut into bite size pieces to use as croutons. Before I grill the sandwich, I pat grated parm. cheese into the butter. Gives a nice crunch.

    KARINA!!!! This soup was AMAZING! You’re totally right- roasting those tomatoes and garlic is what made this soup so flavorful! I added in a few carrots for additional nutrition and about twice the amount of basil (bc I’m obsessed). I absolutely loved this soup and can’t wait to make it again! So happy that I found your blog! The photos are beautiful and the recipes are beyond wonderful 🙂

    I made this soup for a Christmas dinner I am hosting with alot of picky eater including a pescatarian so I was desperate to find something good…. and boy did I! I don’t like tomato soup normally but this was great! Not too much tomato or tangy like they normally are. I made the recipe as is and it came put superb…. the only thing extra I did was add extra garlic as we love it at our house as well as I put it through a mill after I pureed it to get rid of all the skin and grainy texture- definatley more work this way but so worth it.

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU. I made the soup today, followed the recipe to the letter…and I loved it, YEP me the NOT loving tomatoes one LOVED IT. I made this as a gift for my DH Aunt who is home recovering from a stroke, she complained that the hospital food was so disgusting…lacked flavor and depth…lol…this hit all those points and then some. I am saving this recipe to alter with shrimps and lobster, as its reminds me of the bisque base of soups i love. Everything pulled together so well and the layers of flavor like you mentioned by roasting the tomatoes was the key. I’m freezing and delivering tonight. I enjoyed making the soup too….not what to do with the leftover basil…besides pesto.

    I made this soup yesterday. Delicious! It has such a creamy mouth feel that you would swear there was dairy in it. It’s a super was to use up tomatoes. The next time I make this I will roast the tomatoes with a couple of pinches of sugar. Thanks for posting.

    I’ve only recently liked tomato soup…as a child I found the Campbell’s tomato soup repulsive and very much like Chef Boyardee. I haven’t tried this recipe yet but from the ingredients to the beautiful photos it looks like the best recipe for tomato soup I’ve come across yet….AND…since there’s no dairy it can be canned! I cannot wait to make this soup, thank you so much for posting, tomato soup now has another dimension!

It is so good. I can’t wait ’til lunch tomorrow! and it’s beautiful! I love tomato soup, but this is my first time making it. Thank you so much for sharing. I will definitely be making again.

    This soup recipe is so easy and delicious! I love the roasted flavor. I can’t have milk so love the fact that the potatoes thicken it so nicely. For anyone interested in canning this soup, I canned a batch using my pressure canner (pints at 10 lb. pressure for 30 minutes) and it worked great! I got 5 pints from this recipe, but plan to use up my end of season tomatoes and make more to get us through the winter.

    I’ve just made this soup for a light Sunday dinner. It’s lovely, the potatoes thicken it without the cream! I usually make another tomato, red pepper and basil soup from Good Housekeeping recipes but this is less mess (no having to skin the tomatoes). I added a sprinkling of dried chilli flakes just to give it a bite. This will definitely by a family favourite. Thank you ?

    Sounds amazing and can’t wait to try it. Esp since I found canned tomato soup has high fructose corn syrup. Not an ingredient I want my toddler gobbling up.
    My question is can you make ahead and freeze? I love to make my own foods but never sure about freezing and defrosting. I would love any tips.

      Hi Leslie! Yes definitely! Make ahead and freeze meals is something we also do often, and this soup is perfect for that 🙂 I usually freeze mine in air tight containers, and the day of serving I leave it out to thaw in the morning; pour it out into a pot and reheat before serving.

    I found this recipe last night and just finished my second bowl! Only reason I’m not having a third is because I promised my health advocate I’d control my portions. I made this exactly as you said except I had no fresh basil so I used dried. Looking forward to making it when my basil grows. I loved the texture, as well as the flavor of the roasted tomatoes. I thought it might be too much garlic but it was perfect.In fact I made some cheesy garlic bread to dip. Thank you for a recipe that is not only delicious but easy to make as well.
