Growing up, a frequent lunch was a bowl of Campbell’s tomato soup with some Polish kluski noodles. Even back in the day, I tinkered with recipes to make them my own. Instead of adding the recommended water to the condensed soup, I substituted whole milk to up the creaminess. My Roasted Tomato Soup recipe is a grown up version of my childhood favorite soup.

the ingredients

• onions

This tomato soup recipe is perfect for any time of the year. Of course the most flavorful fresh tomatoes are available in the summer months. But by roasting the winter time tomatoes along with onions and garlic, it brings out a deep rich smokey flavor with a touch of sweetness.

I have made this soup many many times. The inspiration came from this Barefoot Contessa recipe. I love the idea of roasting the vegetables for extra intense tomatoey flavor. Taking it a step further, the onions and garlic are roasted too. I love creamy soups (like this Cream of Mushroom one) so some butter and cream add a velvety smoothness to my roasted tomato soup recipe.

chef cooking tips for roasted tomato soup

• Let the tomatoes, onions, and garlic roast without disturbing them. That way they will get a nice char. It’s the char that adds the smokey flavor you want.
• Don’t rush the 20 minute simmer time. It will reduce and thicken the soup and enhance the flavor.
• A cooking tip to temper the acidity in a recipe is to add a bit of baking soda. Tomatoes are high in acid and the baking soda counteracts it.
• Use cream (light or heavy) in the soup instead of low fat or nonfat milk. The higher fat content in cream will make it less likely to curdle when adding to the hot soup.
