Smoky Roasted Tomato Soup is a rich and comforting dish made by roasting ripe tomatoes, garlic, and onions, then blending them into a velvety soup with a smoky kick from paprika. It’s cozy, flavorful, and perfect with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ripe tomatoes (Roma or vine-ripened), halved
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 45 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • Fresh basil or thyme (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (optional, for creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place halved tomatoes, onion, and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  3. Roast for 30–35 minutes, until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  4. Transfer roasted vegetables to a blender. Add tomato paste and a splash of broth, then blend until smooth.
  5. Pour the mixture into a pot over medium heat. Add remaining broth and bring to a simmer.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. For a creamy soup, stir in heavy cream or coconut milk and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Use canned whole tomatoes if fresh ones are out of season—roast them for better flavor.For extra smokiness, add a roasted red chili or more smoked paprika.Make it vegan by using coconut milk or skipping the cream altogether.Store in fridge up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.Add cooked lentils or chickpeas to make it more filling.
