Roasted tomato soup recipe - Name explains everything, The soup is made from oven roasted tomatoes. Very simple, easy to make tomato soup recipe.
This soup tastes fantastic even though made with very minimal ingredients. There are only 5 ingredients (tomato, garlic, onion, olive oil and a herb as a flavoring agent) used along with salt, pepper and water/broth.
Roasting the tomatoes in the oven brings out the most sweetness from the tomatoes. It is highly recommended to use ripe, sweet tomatoes for making soup. Otherwise it will taste sour. If so, you may need to adjust the acidity of tomatoes by adding little sugar.
Garlic cloves and sliced onions (with drizzle of olive oil) are also roasted along with tomatoes. The caramelized onions and roasted garlic add good flavors to the soup.
I don’t want my roasted tomato soup taste like warm marinara. So I avoid using herbs like oregano and basil in my soup. Here I have used thyme (dried).
