Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup

This Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup is SO easy to make! It’s warm, cozy, full of flavor, and contains only four Freestyle Weight Watchers points for the entire recipe.

I love winter. I really do. Buttttt, I’m a little sick of it come February. I want warm weather so the boys can play outside all day, and I’m getting tired of bundling them up in a million layers before going out. So, this Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup is my compromise between winter and summer 🙂

It’s warm and cozy and exactly what you’d want to eat when it’s cold outside, but it also has the fresh flavors of summer, like tomatoes and basil. I realize these ingredients aren’t in season right now, but the roasting of the tomatoes brings out the sweetness and makes them so good!

Why Your Body Will Love This Creamy Soup

• Antioxidants – Tomatoes boast antioxidant power. Antioxidants help neutralize harmful free radicals in the blood, and the lycopene in tomatoes may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer. Tomatoes are also high in vitamin C, which supports our immune systems.
• Vitamins and Minerals – Basil is packed with vitamins A, C, and K, which benefit bone health, immune function, and protection against chronic diseases and blood clotting; it’s also a good source of minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, which can further support various bodily functions. Basil contains essential oils like linalool, eugenol, and citronellol, which fight inflammation and help lower blood pressure.
• Cardiovascular Health – Garlic contains allicin, a sulfur-containing compound responsible for its pungent taste and smell. Allicin has vasodilatory effects, helping to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow inside the body. This can lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

What You’ll Need For This Roasted Tomato Soup Recipe

• Tomatoes – I used Roma tomatoes, mainly because they’re the cheapest! They don’t have quite as much sweet flavor as the other varieties, but the roasting brings out the sweetness and is economical. You can also use a few different varieties if you like. Sometimes, I like to throw some cherry tomatoes in with the Romas.
• Garlic – I love the taste of roasted garlic, so I like to throw a few cloves in to roast with the tomatoes. You will need whole garlic cloves.
• Basil – You will need a small handful of fresh basil leaves. I blend them in at the end, and they give the tomato soup a nice fresh flavor.
• Plain Yogurt – I use plain, non-fat Greek yogurt to make the roasted tomato soup extra creamy without adding any fat. You can also use plain, non-dairy yogurt to make it vegan.
• Vinegar – I add a small splash of apple cider vinegar at the end. You can really use any kind of vinegar you have on hand.

How To Make Tomato Soup

This soup is SO easy to make!! There are only a few steps:

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut Roma tomatoes in half, lengthwise, and place on a large sheet pan with the garlic cloves. Drizzle on olive oil and sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Toss everything together and make sure all the tomatoes are coated with oil. Bake until the tomatoes are soft and caramelized and the garlic is fork tender, about an hour, stirring once.
   2. Add the tomatoes and garlic to a blender and blend until smooth. Next, add the Greek yogurt, basil, water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a splash of vinegar to the blender and blend again until smooth, about 1 minute or longer if needed.
   3. Pour the soup into a medium sized pot to warm, if needed.
    

I’ve never really been a fan of canned tomato soup, but this homemade roasted tomato soup is a different ball game! You might not expect such great flavor when there are just a few ingredients, but roasting the tomatoes and garlic really makes it pack a punch! And you can’t go wrong with adding basil 🙂
