This 6 Ingredient Creamy Roasted Tomato Soup is an easy, flavorful dish that combines roasted heirloom tomatoes and sweet onions with creamy coconut milk and basil pesto. Topped with parmesan and served with crusty bread, it’s the perfect comforting meal for any day.

Ingredients

68 heirloom tomatoes, quartered

1 small sweet onion, quartered

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

Kosher salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup canned coconut milk, nut/seed milk, or whole milk (plus more to thin as needed)

1/3 cup basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)

Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roast the tomatoes and onions: Arrange the quartered tomatoes and onion on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with fresh thyme, kosher salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized, and the onions are tender.
  3. Blend the soup: Once the tomatoes and onions are roasted, transfer them to a blender or use an immersion blender. Add the coconut milk (or nut/seed milk or whole milk), and blend until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add more milk to achieve your desired consistency.
  4. Add pesto: Stir in the basil pesto and blend again until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
  5. Serve: Pour the soup into bowls and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

For a vegan version, use coconut milk and skip the parmesan.

Add red pepper flakes or chopped chili to the roasted vegetables for a spicy twist.

If you don’t have fresh thyme, you can substitute with dried thyme or other fresh herbs like oregano or rosemary.

Add smoked paprika for a smoky flavor, or garlic for extra depth.
