Ingredients
- 4 pounds plum tomatoes, halved and seeds removed
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus whole leaves for garnish
- Chile-infused oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the tomatoes cut-side up in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the sugar. Scatter the thyme sprigs over the tomatoes. Roast until the tomatoes are wrinkled and soft, about 1 hour. Let cool until cool enough to handle. Discard the thyme sprigs. Gently peel off and discard the tomato skins.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and cook until the onions start to lightly brown around the edges, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, vegetable stock and bay leaf and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the cream and chopped basil and simmer for 5 more minutes. Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Season to taste with about 2 teaspoons salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
- When ready to serve, top with a drizzle of chile-infused oil and garnish with some basil leaves.

Amazing. Followed the recipe. Looked just like the picture. Was time consuming but worth it!
I have try a few recipes and this one is the one a like the most. No can tomatoes involve. Which I love and taste of the soup is delicious. Thank you
Have tried several recipes for roasted tomato soup and this is my favorite. Always have to make extra to take some to my mom. Great recipe and fun to see Tiffany cooking after growing up with her as “Kelly”
This soup is easy and delicious! i make it in 2 steps to save time – i roast the tomatoes a night or two before & store them in a tupperware until ready to use. DELISH! thank you!
This was very yummy! Thanks!
Very tasty soup!
Great soyp with wonderful flavor! It was easy to make, inexpensive, and delicious with the carmelized onion grill cheese!
I followed the recipe exactly (except for adding the chili oil) and it turned out perfectly! This is the best tomato soup I’ve ever had! Will definitely make this again.
