I make this tomato soup several times during the fall season. As soon as fall weather arrives, I always crave soup, and this is one of my favorites! I love making it with a side of cheesy grilled cheese that I dip right into the soup! It's incredibly tasty, and I hope you love it too!

Recipe Ingredients

• TOMATOES: Fresh tomatoes are used in this recipe and give the soup a more authentic taste than canned tomatoes. We use tomatoes on the vine, but you can use any tomato you like, such as roma or beefsteak.
• ONION: A yellow onion is used in this recipe for flavor and pairs well with the other ingredients. 
• FRESH GARLIC: Fresh garlic makes the soup fragrant and complements the other ingredients. 
• FRESH CHILI PEPPER: This recipe has a chili pepper in it for extra flavour and a little kick, but if you're not big on spice then you can totally omit it.
• OLIVE OIL: Olive oil coats the vegetable mixture before going into the oven to make the veggies crispy and keep them from sticking to the baking dish. 
• SALT & PEPPER: To enhance the overall flavor of the soup, a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of black pepper is added to the soup.
• SPICES FOR TOMATO SOUP: The spices in soup add a ton of flavor, and we’re using garlic powder, oregano, and paprika.

Kitchen Equipment

• 9X13 BAKING DISH: For roasting the soup ingredients. 
• LATEX GLOVES: For safely handling the chili pepper. 
• KNIFE: For chopping the tomatoes, onion, and fresh garlic.
• CUTTING BOARD: For safely chopping the ingredients without damaging your counters. 
• BLENDER: This recipe uses a Vitamix blender because it makes it incredibly smooth. However, you can make this with a regular blender too. I've used both, and just find that the Vitamix makes it much smoother!
• MEASURING SPOONS AND CUPS: For measuring the ingredients. 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish with oil spray.
2. Roast: Add the tomatoes, onions, garlic cloves, and the chili pepper to the baking dish. Drizzle the mixture with the olive oil and sprinkle it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and paprika. Bake it uncovered for 30 minutes.
3. Blend: Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before carefully transferring it to a blender. Remove the center cap from your blender lid and place a towel over the top, holding the towel and covering the hole while it blends for 1 minute. This will prevent the hot soup from spraying out of the blender. 
4. Serve: Pour the soup into serving bowls and serve immediately.

Storage and Leftovers

Room-temperature soup should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Expert Tips

• Let the roasted tomato mixture rest. Before you add the mixture to the blender, we recommend giving it 5 minutes to cool down and stop bubbling before transferring it to the blender. 
• Blend the soup carefully. The tomato mixture will be very hot once transferred to the blender. To avoid a mess, you should puree soup in a blender by removing the center cap of the blender lid and holding a towel over the hole while it blends so the steam can carefully escape as it blends. 
• Consider using a Vitamix. I know Vitamixs' are not cheap, but they're worth it, and it makes this soup extra smooth.
• Use latex gloves. Chili peppers are spicy! When you’re handling these peppers with your bare hands, you should wash thoroughly with soap and water afterward or wear latex gloves and avoid touching your eyes. 
• Omit the pepper. If you don't like spice, omit the chili pepper.

Frequently Asked Questions

Alternative Ingredients

• Red Chili Flakes: An alternative option to the fresh chili pepper are red chili flakes. They’re more subtle and easily controlled. Add the chili flakes to the blender with the tomato mixture using ½ a teaspoon until you reach your preferred heat level.
• Red Bell Peppers: Consider roasting a couple of red bell peppers with the tomato mixture to switch up the flavor to a roasted red pepper and tomato soup that will enhance the red color and add a slightly smokey and sweet to the soup. 
• Heavy Cream: For a creamier and richer tomato soup, stir in some heavy cream to the soup after it has been blended. You can also garnish the soup as an alternative for a pretty garnish. 

Serving Suggestions

Serve this soup with some fresh bread slathered in butter or a side of grilled cheese and a leafy green side salad.
