    Soup season is here and I could not be any happier! Everyone has their own version of their favorite tomato soup. My version is simple and easy to make. We eat it year-round.

    Two bowls of Tomato Carrot Soup topped with chopped fresh herbs and pumpkin seedsYou can even make a larger batch to last you the rest of the week, or to freeze for later. Trust me, you’ll want to make a large batch because this vegan tomato soup is SO satisfying SO good.

    Why make this tomato carrot soup?

    This luscious soup sets the mood for a comforting experience. This is the type of soup you’ll want to make while in your yoga pants bench watching your favorite show on Netflix; for me, it’s Law & Order: SVU and having no care in the world to step out the house.

    This soup comes out perfectly every single time and is even better the next day. The roasted carrots develop extra sweetness that’s unmistakably noticeable in the soup.

    The carrots provide a vibrant orange color. The soup is scrumptious, warm, and satisfying. All of the flavors intertwine so well together and I am excited to share it with you.

    My tomato carrot soup ingredients: 

    You can make this soup with can or fresh tomatoes. I love using fresh ingredients as much as I can. Luckily, we live close to multiple farmer’s markets and grocery stores that carries fresh produce. If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of going to the store, feel free to use what you have on hand. Aside from the quarter cut tomatoes and large chunks of carrots, here are a few other ingredients I have included in this soup and the reasons why I use them:

    • Onion – You may use any onions you like. Red onions are low in calories but high in vitamins and minerals.

    Vegetables in sheet pan for roasting

    carrots, tomatoes, onions, topped with salt and pepper and olive in baking tray

    • Olive Oil – Try to use good quality olive oil. You will also need 2 tablespoons of oil to drizzle over the vegetables.  It will make roasting the veggies easier.
    • Kosher Salt and ground pepper – This is the quickest and easiest way to season your food.
    • Fresh Herbs – You may use dry or fresh herbs in this dish. For this recipe we used fresh herbs such as basil and parsley from my garden to the soup while blending. This helps to tie in the “earthy” flavors.

    How to make tomato soup from scratch?

    This vegan tomato soup from scratch is so easy to make! All you need are the six ingredients I listed above and 30 minutes to make this roasted tomato soup with carrots. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

    Follow my tips and I’ll show you how to make the tomato carrot soup perfectly every time.

    Let’s start with roasting the vegetables as it is very simple to do, and one of my favorite preparation methods when making soups; all of the flavors comes to life!

    First, you’ll want to wash, cut, and align the vegetables onto a sheet pan, then coat the vegetables with olive oil.Roasted carrots, onions, and tomatoesNext, lightly season the vegetables with kosher salt and ground pepper. You can also use peppercorn as well. Then, roast the vegetables in the oven at 425 degrees for 25 minutes.

    After 25 minutes, remove the vegetables from the oven. Let cool. Transfer the vegetables to a high speed blender or a Vitamix along with the liquid from roasting.

    Add the herbs. Then run the blender until everything is creamy, smooth, and hot for 6 minutest and 30 seconds on the highest level.

    Dropping soup from blenderAfter blending the soup, transfer the soup to a bowl and enjoy.

    If you do not have a high speed blender, a regular blender will work as well. Next, simply transfer to a small saucepan, bring to a light boil, then reduce and simmer for 10 minutes; stirring occasionally. Don’t forget to season your soup!Soup in sauce panPour the soup into serving bowls. Feel free to garnish with cheesy bread, extra spices, herbs, pumpkin seeds, cheese, or more vegetables if you like.

    Homemade Tomato Soup With Carrots Serving Suggestions

    1. Fresh garden salads are always a great choice to have with creamy soups.
    2. Grilled cheese sandwiches work well with soups and I have this grilled cheese version that also incorporate both soup and grilled cheese together – Very fun recipe! 🙂
    3. If you don’t want to make it vegan, you can always add meat or vegetables to give it texture.

    Top Tips for Tomato Carrot Soup

    1. Wash and cut/slice your tomatoes: It’s always best practice to wash any food you consume (as much as possible). Then cut the tomatoes in quarters.
    2. Peel and cut the carrots: They do not need to be cut in small chunks as they will slightly reduce in size when roasted. 5 big chunks are enough.
    3. Create Depth of flavor: Roasting any vegetable imparts an earthy, smoky, caramelized sweet flavor. As stated above, the sweet flavors from the onions and carrots really come to life.
    4. No chopping or dicing necessary: This method can be time consuming. Large vegetable chunks are easier to roast.
    5. Thicken the sauce. To thicken the sauce, allow the soup to simmer in low heat for an extra 20 minutes (or longer) to help further enhance the flavor of the vegetables.  Adding creamer is also helpful, although it might alter the taste slightly.
    6. Make a large batch. Tomatoes are the major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene. In translation, they have been linked to many health benefits. They are also known to help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. 
    7. You can skip the roasting process and use a powerful blender, such as this Vitamix blender to prepare the soup in half that time. Alternatively, if you do not have a power blender, boiling the carrots until they are cooked fork through is another great way to prepare the soup over the stove. Simply add the cooked carrots, tomatoes, and onions, along with your desired seasoning and blend. Don’t forget to add water or vegetable stock! Immersion blenders work great as well if you decide to cook everything in one pot. The choices are completely up to you.
