A classic soup recipe made with fresh ripe tomatoes and fresh herbs blended with a hint of cream. Delicious on its own, but with a side of grilled cheese is always a good idea.
If you’re like me and planted too many tomato plants… again, you’re looking for ways to use up all those fresh beautiful tomatoes. What better way than homemade butter roasted tomato soup!
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Tomatoes. I used San Marzano Roma tomatoes. You can use your favorite variety of ripe tomatoes. You can also use canned or jarred tomatoes.
- Onion. use a sweet yellow or white onion.
- Minced Garlic. use fresh or jarred.
- Thyme. if using dried, use 1 teaspoon.
- Fresh Basil. This can be omitted. But, I do not recommend it. It adds a nice sweetness and brings out the flavor of the tomatoes.
- Half and half cream. The cream cuts the acidity of the tomatoes and makes it extra creamy. Whole milk or vegetable broth also works well.
What to serve with Tomato Soup
Of course, tomato soup’s best friend is a grilled cheese sandwich But if you want to mix it up, serve it with a fresh garden salad or a BLT sandwich, or a tuna melt
