Summer may be over, but it’s never too late to make this easy vegan roasted tomato soup. My simple slow-roasted technique concentrates and deepens the flavor of your tomatoes, making this the best tomato soup recipe for any time of year (even if it’s not peak tomato season). The end result is a cozy and crave-worthy tomato basil soup that is full of rich, sweet and savory umami flavor, and it only takes 10 ingredients to make!
Most importantly, roast your tomatoes, specifically slow-roast. This technique is a must for me when making fresh tomato soup. It cooks the tomatoes at a lower temperature for a longer time, and therefor concentrates the flavor of the tomatoes bringing out a deep, vibrant richness and peak levels of umami. If you’re not familiar with the term umami, it means “essence of deliciousness” in Japanese, and this soup is just that. Umami flavors are often described as brothy, meaty, or savory, and they tend to make you salivate. For example, sun-dried tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, soy sauce and many meat-based recipes. Even though this creamy roasted tomato soup is totally vegan, it packs the umami flavor that meat-eaters crave.
Once your tomatoes, garlic, and onion are roasted, the rest of the recipe is a breeze! After roasting, you simply add to a blender and puree with the following ingredients:
Call me classic, but the absolute best pairing for tomato soup is a hot and toasty grilled cheese – a gluten-free vegan grilled cheese that is. The bread and cheese are the perfect carriers for dunking into the flavorful soup, and it turns this light but cozy soup into a full meal. Whether or not I’m serving with grilled cheese, some of my favorite tomato basil soup toppings I love to add are:

This spicy noodle soup is gluten free, vegan, and ready in less than 30 minutes. Not only does it come together quickly, it is also very easy to make, even with the homemade broth. The shelf-stable silken tofu is ready to use right out of its box. The asian-inspired flavors of the soup are bold and warming with garlic, ginger, and miso and the mushrooms add an abundance of umami flavor. Each bowl is a wholesome vegan meal with a good source of complete protein from the Mori-Nu Silken Tofu Extra Firm.
Mori-Nu Silken Tofu is smooth and creamy. Unlike cotton/momen tofu, which is usually known as “regular” tofu, it touts a uniform silken consistency. The main difference between Mori-Nu Silken Tofu and other tofu is the way it is made. This silken tofu forms inside its box with no preservatives, resulting in a velvety texture. It is fabulous in recipes like dressings, sauces, desserts, dips, smoothies, appetizers, and this delightful noodle soup.

Making your own roasted tomato soup is so worth it. The flavors are fresh, bold, and the ingredients are so nutritious. No thickeners, preservatives, and totally free of dairy and gluten.
Nobody wants bland soup, and this recipe is far from it. To achieve a satisfying, umami, well-rounded flavor I use these few tricks:
This recipe couldn’t be easier to make. Simply add all of your veggies to a baking dish, toss with a little olive oil and salt and pepper, and roast for 45-60 minutes. Then blend with the remaining ingredients and dive in! So simple. So delicious. Perfect with a piece of crusty bread or vegan grilled cheese for dunking. I also love it topped with a little coconut yogurt and these crispy chickpeas from Biena.

ABSOLUTELY! The best thing, in my opinion, about chilis, soups, sauces and stews is that they actually get better and more robust in their flavor after 24-48 hours, so I actually recommend you make this chili the day before. It can be stored in air tight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
This chili is delicious with a variety of toppings and sides but some of my favorites are:
You bet! I would recommend sautéing your onions and garlic first, and then adding to a crockpot with the other ingredients and cooking on low. Your house is going to smell AMAZING!
