Smoky Roasted Tomato Soup 



Here’s a delicious recipe for Smoky Roasted Tomato Soup:

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups ripe tomatoes, halved (Roma or vine-ripened work well)
  • 1 red onion, quartered
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika (for that smoky flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free version)
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
  • Crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

Roasting the Vegetables:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a baking sheet, arrange the tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili flakes, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything to coat evenly.
  3. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and slightly charred, and the onions are tender.

Blending the Soup:

  1. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or use an immersion blender. Add the vegetable broth and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunky soup, pulse lightly until the desired texture is achieved.
  2. Pour the soup into a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Final Touches:

  1. Stir in the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, add a little more broth or water to reach your preferred consistency.
  2. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves. Pair with some crusty bread on the side for a complete meal.

Tips:

  • For a grilled cheese effect, serve this soup with a warm, toasted cheese sandwich!
  • If you like a deeper smoky flavor, you can add a small amount of liquid smoke or roast the tomatoes on an outdoor grill.

Enjoy your rich, smoky, and comforting roasted tomato soup!
