For years I thought I hated tomato soup because I only knew the metallic, bland, slimy flavor of the canned store bought varieties.. Let me tell you, this soup is nothing like that. 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.

What Makes This Roasted Tomato Basil Soup So Flavorful?

Nobody wants bland soup, and this recipe is far from it. To achieve a satisfying, umami, well-rounded flavor I use these few tricks:

Roasting all of the ingredients: Roasting brings out a deeper, richer, more robust flavor of each vegetable and your tastebuds will definitely thank you for it
Adding Mushrooms: Roasted mushrooms add SUCH a delightfully earthy, umami flavor that just hits different and compliments the roasted tomatoes so nicely
Balsamic Vinegar: The perfect addition to round out this recipe with a slightly sweet, slightly tangy, deep, rich flavor
Nutritional Yeast: Adds the perfect cheesy flavor that you would usually achieve with parmesan, as well as many nutrients
Herbs: So much flavor is added with a variety of herbs. For this recipe I used rosemary, lemon thyme, and fresh basil

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.
