This isn&#8217;t a soup made from canned diced tomatoes; it&#8217;s all about roasting fresh tomatoes along with some garlic for incredible flavor. Imagine the smell of roasting garlic wafting through the kitchen as you prepare the tomatoes for soup. Now imagine the flavor of the soup, loaded with fresh basil leaves, roasted tomatoes and roasted garlic, plus a splash of half-and-half to make it a little decadent. With a recipe like this, it&#8217;s always a good day for soup.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ingredients for Tomato Basil Soup<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2067574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/tomato-basil-soup-TOHD24_278401_JackieAlpers_01.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Tomato Basil Soup Tohd24 278401 Jackiealpers 01\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jackie Alpers for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Plum or Roma tomatoes:<\/strong> Core the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-tips-for-using-fresh-tomatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-tips-for-using-fresh-tomatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">fresh tomatoes<\/a> and cut them in half.

Sprinkle the basil strips atop each bowl of soup for a lovely edible garnish. Placing baby basil leaves in a cluster near the edge of the soup bowl is also a nice touch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add roasted onion:<\/strong> Roast some of the onions along with the tomatoes, then puree them in the soup using an immersion blender. Onions lose their bite and develop a slight sweetness when roasted; try these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/baked-vidalia-onions\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/baked-vidalia-onions\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">baked Vidalia onions<\/a> for a new way to experience them on their own!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to Store Tomato Basil Soup<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When the soup cools, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

The flavor may change as time goes on due to the cream, so the sooner the soup is enjoyed, the better.<\/p>\n<h3><strong> Can you freeze tomato basil soup?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Tomato basil soup is a wonderful soup to freeze for another day. It&#8217;ll keep for up to 3 months frozen, but the freezing and thawing sometimes affects the cream. If you&#8217;re making the dish and know right away that you&#8217;ll freeze some, skip the cream in the portion that&#8217;s destined for the freezer, then add it in after reheating the soup.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tomato Basil Soup Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2067580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/tomato-basil-soup-TOHD24_278401_JackieAlpers_09.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Tomato Basil Soup Tohd24 278401 Jackiealpers 09\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jackie Alpers for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How can I make this vegan?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Though this soup is vegetarian, it&#8217;s not vegan because of the cream.
