You’re in for a treat with this roasted tomato soup. To earn its gold stars, this recipe starts with fresh tomatoes that roast in the oven to concentrate their natural sweetness and add a hint of smokiness. Minced garlic goes in the same roasting pan and mellows enough in the oven that we call for most of a garlic head. With such an intense base, this roasted tomato soup recipe skips common flavor boosters like chicken broth or beef stock and simply stirs in a little cream for a hint of decadence.<\/p>\n
Once you taste a spoonful, you’ll return to this vegetarian-friendly soup recipe again and again.<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Place the tomatoes in a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Combine 1\/4 cup oil and the garlic and drizzle over the tomatoes. Toss to coat.<\/p>\n Bake the oil-coated tomatoes until softened, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove and discard the tomato skins.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Roasting softens the tomatoes until the skins slip right off. Wait until the oven-hot tomatoes cool slightly before removing and composting the skins. In contrast, tomato seeds are easiest to remove before roasting. After quartering the fresh tomatoes, simply run a knife or your fingers between the firm flesh and soft gel sac that holds the seeds.<\/p>\n In a Dutch oven or similarly sized pot, saute the onion in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil until tender.<\/p>\n Add the tomatoes, water, salt and, if desired, red pepper flakes to the Dutch oven. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat, cover the pan and simmer while the flavors blend, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly.<\/p>\n In a blender, process the soup in batches until smooth.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em>\u00a0You can also use an immersion blender for this task and keep the soup in the Dutch oven.<\/p>\n Return the soup to pan, stir in the cream and heat through. Sprinkle with fresh basil if desired.<\/p>\n The hardest part about storing soup is cooling it quickly enough that bacteria miss their chance to settle in. For safety, food should be left between 40\u00b0 and 140\u00b0 for no more than two hours at room temperature\u2014a challenging target to meet with an entire pot of piping hot soup.<\/p>\n To cool it more quickly, divide the soup among a couple of shallow pans or fill the kitchen sink with ice and a little water and set the entire pot in this ice bath. Once the soup hits room temperature, move the pans or pot to the refrigerator and let the soup cool completely before dividing it into containers with airtight lids and storing it in the fridge or freezer.<\/p>\n Roasted tomato soup keeps in the refrigerator for up to four days, but you may find the flavor deteriorates sooner because of the cream. To keep the soup fresh, be sure it has cooled completely and seal leftovers in an airtight container with a lid. To maximize the storage time, wait to stir in the cream until you reheat the soup.<\/p>\n Roasted tomato soup keeps well in the freezer for up to three months. However, creamy soups often change in texture and flavor when frozen and defrosted. If you know you’ll be freezing some of the soup, separate out the amount you plan to serve for dinner and stir the cream into just that portion. Then follow these steps for freezing soup<\/a> to minimize the risk of freezer burn.<\/p>\n For the best texture and flavor, thaw frozen roasted tomato soup overnight in the refrigerator before you reheat it. The previously frozen soup can then be reheated in the same way as leftovers from the fridge: Pour the soup into a large saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Divide the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil, if desired.<\/p>\n All types of tomatoes<\/a> can be roasted, but some are easier to handle than others. Beefsteak tomatoes and some heirloom varieties can be quite juicy, so you might want to roast them in a deeper pan to avoid overflow. Plum tomatoes hold their shape well when raw and roasted, speeding up peel and seed removal. Cherry tomatoes often have an intense sweetness unmatched by larger tomatoes but are tedious to peel. For these tiny flavor bombs, leave the skins on and seeds intact and puree the finished soup well.<\/p>\n Yes, an immersion blender<\/a> makes quick work of this step. It’s an ideal tool for pureeing soup, sidestepping the need to pour hot soup back and forth or keep it from popping loose the upright blender’s lid. Remove the soup from the heat and stick the immersion blender straight into the pot, keeping the cord clear of the liquid and still-hot surfaces.<\/p>\n Quartered tomatoes may still be quite chunky when the soup is ready for blending, so give the pot a good stir before you put the blender away to make sure you smoothed it out completely.<\/p>\n A hunk of homemade bread<\/a> might be all you need alongside a bowl of creamy roasted tomato soup. Expand the meal with a side salad, a slice of spinach quiche<\/a> or a couple of hard-boiled eggs. Pair a cup of this soup any kind of sandwich\u2014grilled cheese, a cold turkey club or a tuna melt.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Turn fresh tomatoes, garlic and onion into a
