    Homemade Creamy Tomato Soup Video Tutorial

    How To Roast Tomatoes:

    1. I used tomatoes straight out of my garden.  It seems like they all ripen at the same time and I'm looking for ways to use them up.  This tomato basil soup recipe is the perfect solution.
    2. To roast tomatoes in the oven,  all you need to do is rinse the tomatoes and cut out any blemishes or bruises.  Cut the bottom and stem off the tomato and slice it in half. 
    3. I like to toss mine is a little olive oil or avocado oil and then sprinkle the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and any spices that are fitting.  The spice blend used in this recipe works great on just about any roasted vegetable mix.
    4. As you can notice from the picture, I also added a few onions and carrots.  This is a great way to sneak more veggies into my kid's diet.   Squash or sweet potato would be another great option here.
    5. Just be sure to stick with the same-ish colors.  If you were to add some roasted green vegetables in this soup, your blended soup would turn an orange or brownish color.  Your tomato soup will probably taste great but the color won't be as appetizing.

    How to Make Homemade Tomato Soup

    After the roasted vegetables are done, I like to throw mine in the blender.  It makes the tomato soup nice and smooth and creamy.   You can also use an immersion blender here if that's easier.  

    Dump those hot veggies in there and let 'er rip.  As soon as the soup is nice and smooth, pour it into a pan on the stove and add the rest of your ingredients.

    At this point, you will need to do a taste test.  If the soup is a little bland, add some salt.  Between the herbs and the onions, there should be enough flavor.  If you feel like it needs a little something more after the rest of your ingredients have been added, add a little onion powder or garlic powder.

    • Roast the tomatoes with a couple of other vegetables, carrots, squash, or sweet potato work great
    • Use a blender to get your roasted veggies really smooth
    • Add all your ingredients and then do a taste test.  You may need a little salt or garlic powder.

    How to Thicken Tomato Soup?

    In a small bowl, whisk a few tablespoons of cold broth with a couple of tablespoons of corn starch.  Slowly pour cornstarch mixture into the soup while whisking.  Bring soup back up to a boil and stir for a couple of minutes more. Soup will thicken.  Repeat again if needed. 

    Can you freeze Tomato Soup?

    Yes, it's best to freeze before you add any cream, milk, or half and half.  Simple put your soup in a covered, air-tight container and freeze up to 3 months.  To thaw, place in the fridge and let it thaw, add to a pan, and slowly bring it back up to temperature.  Add cream or milk and stir until heated through.

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees

    • Wash tomatoes.  Take the stem off and remove any bruises or blemishes. Cut the tomatoes in half. Peel Onion and cut in 8ths. They should be just a little smaller than the tomatoes.  Wash and peel the carrots and cut into 2" pieces.  Peel Garlic.

    • Pour the hot vegetables into a blender. Be sure to include any juices from the veggies and blend until smooth.   Pour the vegetable puree into a large cookpot.  Turn on medium heat and add ½ C Cream (optional) The cream will give it a really rich flavor and make it even creamier.  Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese when serving. Enjoy
