Classic Old-Fashioned Tomato Soup
Healthy, flavorful tomato soup. Creamy homemade tomato soup that’s simple and easy to make. Perfectly roasted vegetables. Canned free. No junk – real tomatoes, real ingredients.
Friends, when I was younger, I hated tomato soup. I had no appreciation for the flavor. Now, it’s a completely different story.
I don’t know about you, but a bowl of warm delicious goodness is what I opt-in for in the fall, spring, and winter months.
I keep the tomato soup recipe as classic as possible – therefore, there will be no need to revert back to canned tomato soup. Let’s be honest, the homemade stuff is always better, right?
This tomato soup will warm up your belly during those cold days, and still perfectly enjoyable during spring or fall. Perfectly roasted vegetables.
Homemade. Healthy and delicious. The ultimate comfort food, or tomato soup, in my opinion.
How do you make tomato soup with fresh tomatoes?
The steps are simple. Simply roast the vegetables. Blend the vegetables. Simmer and season. Enjoy. Just as simple as that.
This tomato soup will not disappoint.

Love tomato soup no matter what the weather! We have it with a charcuterie board for a light dinner when I don’t feel like cooking. I love that you added roasted vegetables which must give the soup an extraordinary flavor and this recipe would give me a chance to use my fresh basil that is doing well in my garden.
MDesir
Thank you, Linda. I am so jealous. I cannot grow basil at home at all 🙁 You are very lucky!
Asia
I think using vegetable broth instead of water should be an esential part of the recipe. The broth gives the soup deeper taste.
MDesir
Yes, Asia, you are absolutely right.

I’ve never heard of sunset cultivar tomatoes before..Are they the little light green tomatoes in your photo? I hope I can find them in the store. I’m excited to try out this recipe because I don’t think I’ve ever roasted my veggies first. I know they would bring out so much flavor.
MDesir
You can get them at most grocery stores. I hope you like them. 🙂

I’m like you. When I was young, I didn’t like tomato soup. But the soup then was that canned variety that had that nauseating sweet taste that was nothing like homemade tomato soup. When I finally had a great tomato soup it was quite a revelation. Your recipe is on the very good side.
MDesir
Thank you, Marisa! There’s nothing better than homemade.
Sandhya Ramakrishnan
We never get bored of the classic tomato soup and would eat this all year long. Roasted tomato soup happens to be one of our favorite and my boys love it. I like the idea of using couple of carrots for flavor and color in the soup. Will try it next time.
MDesir
classics are never out of style. Thanks for stopping by, Sandhya!
