🍅 Homemade Roasted Tomato Soup

There’s something magical about turning garden goodness into a bowl of comfort. 🌿

When the tomatoes are ripe and the kitchen smells like home, this roasted tomato soup is my go-to — simple, wholesome, and full of flavor.

🌸 Ingredients

Fresh tomatoes (about 8–10 medium) 2–3 carrots, sliced (optional but adds sweetness) 1 onion, quartered 1 bell pepper (optional) 4–5 cloves garlic, peeled 1 tsp basil 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder Salt & pepper to taste

🌿 Instructions

Roast the veggies: Place the tomatoes, carrots, onions, bell pepper (if using), and garlic on a baking sheet. Roast at 350°F for 20 minutes, until everything looks soft, golden, and fragrant. Simmer the goodness: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot. Add your seasonings — basil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in a little water or broth if needed and let it simmer for 20 minutes, letting all that flavor mingle together. Blend it smooth: Use an immersion blender (my favorite!) or transfer to a blender to puree until creamy and smooth. Optional – Can it for later: Because there are no oils or thickeners, this soup cans beautifully! Use a pressure canner and process for 75 minutes to enjoy cozy bowls of homemade soup all winter long. Serve and enjoy: Ladle into bowls and serve with a warm, buttery grilled cheese. Trust me — it’s happiness in a bowl. 🥰
