There's nothing like a steamy bowl of Creamy Tomato Soup to warm the soul and nourish the body.
Growing up, my Dad had some sort of tomato-based soup concocting almost every weekend. So naturally, Homemade Tomato Soup is one of those comfort foods I crave whenever I'm feeling a little low or under the weather. Without fail, this creamy, dreamy Roasted Tomato soup always does the trick. And trust me, it's way better than Campbell's!
Firstly, it's made with fresh tomatoes roasted to perfection with garlic and onion, giving it a full body of flavour. Plus, it not only provides that rich, creamy comfort we crave, it also provides a heaping dose of nutritional goodness.
And I can't forget to mention that it goes great with a slice of Almond Flour Flatbread (perfect for dunking) and topped with a dollop of Cultured Cashew Yogurt.
Is Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup Healthy?
As mentioned above, tomatoes have many nutrients that benefit those who can tolerate them. However, many do benefit from avoiding tomatoes. And even though they are one of nature's most delicious fruits (or veggies, depending on your stance), it's best to enjoy them in moderation. That being said, let's first focus on their benefits - because I know for me, this soup makes every cell in my body feel happy and nourished.
Health Benefits of Homemade Roasted Tomato Soup
Source of Antioxidants. Tomatoes contain many nutrients that provide antioxidant activity. However, the one that stands out the most is lycopene. Many studies show lycopene to have protective properties for the eyes and heart. Plus, lycopene is more readily released as tomatoes are cooked or processed. Meaning a bowl of this Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup provides a good, hearty dose!
Rich in many Nutrients. Tomatoes are a great source of vitamin C, many B vitamins, folic acid, vitamin K and fibre.
Seasonal Benefits of Tomatoes
Summer. Since tomatoes have heat-clearing properties, they make a refreshing summer food. This is also a great time to enjoy them fresh since they are in season from July to late September. It's also an excellent time to start preparing and canning sauces, soups and crushed tomatoes for the winter.
Autumn and Winter. Cooked, stewed and prepared tomatoes (like soups and sauces) are great to enjoy through the cooler months.
How To Make Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup With Fresh Tomatoes
Making a creamy, dairy-free Homemade Tomato Soup with fresh tomatoes is easier than you might think! It just takes a bit of patience while they roast but only a few short minutes of prepping.

Roast Tomatoes, Garlic & Onion
First, preheat your oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
Next, chop eight to ten medium/large tomatoes into quarters and scoop out the seeds. (You can discard the seeds in the compost or wash and dry them to save and sprout.)
Then, chop half an onion into large chunks and set aside. Press three to four garlic cloves with the flat edge of a chef's knife and chop in halves.
After everything is chopped, add the de-seeded tomatoes, onion and garlic into a large bowl. Drizzle one to two tablespoons of olive or avocado oil over the tomatoes, garlic and onion. Toss or mix well.
Once the tomatoes, onion and garlic are coated evenly with the olive/avocado oil, spread evenly on the baking sheet. Then, place in the oven and roast for forty-five minutes, or until tomatoes and onion begin to brown and become fragrant.
Once roasted, remove from the oven and let cool.
Add Dairy-Free Milk And Blend
Once cooled, transfer the roasted tomatoes, onion and garlic to your blender jug. Then, pour in three cups of non-dairy milk (or any milk of choice), I like using almond or tigernut. Add one teaspoon of Himalayan or Celtic salt, and blend until smooth and creamy.
Heat & Serve
Once your Creamy Dairy-Free Roasted Tomato Soup is blended into a smooth and creamy perfection, pour into a medium saucepan. For those that prefer an extra creamy Tomato Soup, you can add an additional cup of milk at this time (totalling four cups). Children may prefer the added creaminess and reduced acidity of this option.
Finally, heat on medium-low for about ten minutes or until the soup reaches your desired temperature.
