What type of tomatoes to use

My personal favorite tomato to use for this roasted garlic tomato basil soup is roma/plum tomatoes. They’re sweet and less watery compared to other varieties, making them perfect for this soup. Other varieties will work but I find the flavor is best with roma tomatoes.

If you don’t have access to fresh tomatoes, you can opt for canned tomatoes, but they won’t provide the same taste.

To make the recipe as originally written, you will need 3 lbs. of tomatoes, which is approximately 12-16 roma tomatoes depending on the size.

Kitchen essentials
  • A baking sheet
  • A large saucepan
  • Immersion/hand blender. If you don’t have one, a regular blender will also work.
Substitutions
  • Dried herbs: if you would like to use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs (basil, oregano, thyme), you will have to change the portion size. As a general rule of thumb, you will want to use one tablespoon of fresh herbs for one teaspoon of dried herbs.
  • Coconut milk: the coconut milk adds a creamy and sweet addition to the tomato basil soup, which is especially helpful if you’re tomatoes are on the bitter side. However, the coconut milk is optional. If you do choose to add it, I recommend using canned unsweetened coconut milk since it’s much sweeter than the carton type.
  • Extra virgin olive oil: I prefer evoo or avocado oil because they are less refined.
  • Water and Better than Bouillon vegetable base: can be substituted for vegetable stock in a 1:1 water:vegetable stock ratio. Personally, I find the vegetable base is more flavorful and more affordable.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. fresh roma tomatoes

  • 2 heads of garlic

  • 1.5 cups sweet onion, roughly chopped

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1.5 cups grated parmesan

  • 0.5 tsp salt

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 450 F.
  • Prepare your veggies. Begin by washing your tomatoes and cutting off the stem end. Then cut your tomatoes in half and transfer them to a baking sheet. Cut the top off your garlic so that all the cloves are exposed (see photo). Place them on the baking sheet along with your chopped onion. Drizzle the olive oil over the veggies and gently toss with your hands to coat. Pour some extra oil right onto the head of the garlic.
  • Bake. Bake for 25 minutes. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and remove any charred tomato skin once cool enough to touch.
  • Peel garlic. You should be able to easily slide the garlic cloves out of their peel.
  • Blend. Add the peeled garlic, tomatoes, and onions to a blender or to a large pot if using an immersion/hand blender. Add in the parmesan and salt and blend until it’s smooth and there are no lumps. Add in the heavy cream and blend again.
  • Reheat. If you used a countertop blender, pour the contents of the blender into a pot. Bring the pot to medium heat until the soup is warmed to your satisfaction. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Extra soup can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days.
