Roasted Tomato Basil Soup
Reader ratingsRoasting the tomatoes first gives this dairy-free soup a deep, sweet flavor — a step above any can.
Why it’s good for you
Cooked, roasted tomatoes are one of the best sources of lycopene, and the fat helps you absorb it.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Spread the tomatoes, onion, and garlic on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil and salt, and roast 30 minutes until caramelized.
- Transfer everything (juices included) to a pot with the broth. Simmer 10 minutes.
- Add the basil and coconut milk, then blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Taste and adjust salt. Serve with a swirl of olive oil.
Tips
- Roasting concentrates the tomatoes and adds sweetness you cannot get from simmering alone.
- Coconut milk makes it creamy without dairy; a splash of cream works too if you prefer.
