Choosing the right tomatoes

Selecting the right variety of tomatoes is crucial to achieving the perfect balance of tomato flavor and creaminess in your vegan roasted tomato soup. Look for vine-ripened tomatoes that are firm and aromatic, as these will provide the ideal sweetness and tanginess that will shine through in your soup. By starting with quality tomatoes, you’ll be able to create a vibrant and well-rounded soup.

Roasting tomatoes and veggies for extra flavors

The star of this recipe is undoubtedly the roasted tomatoes and veggies like red peppers, onion, and garlic. Roasting tomatoes not only intensifies their natural sweetness but also brings out their complex flavors. As the tomatoes and veggies cook in the oven, their sugars caramelize, creating a rich and savory depth that will take your soup to the next level.

How to make vegan tomato soup:

The first thing you need to do is:

Prep the veggies for oven roasting:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F)
2. Slice the tomatoes and white onion, cut the bell pepper into quarters, and discard the seeds.
3. Place the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and garlic cloves with skin on in a baking tray or baking dish.
4. Drizzle the veggies with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Pop the baking dish in the oven and let them roast for 40 minutes or until they become soft and slightly caramelized around the edges. The roasting process will transform these humble veggies into beautifully roasted gems that will infuse your soup with layers of complexity.
5. Once the veggies are perfectly roasted, remove them from the oven, squeeze the roasted garlic out, and discard the garlic clove skin ( I don’t think it is tasty to eat).

Blending the tomato soup:

When you reach this step, you have two options to proceed with the recipe:

1. Suppose you own a high-speed blender like Vitamix- Ascent A 3500, which has a Hot Soup Program. In that case, you can add the roasted veggies and the remaining ingredients like tomato paste, coconut cream, bouillon powder, water, coconut cream, oregano, and fresh basil leaves. Secure the lid of the Vitamix container and select the hot soup program, which takes around 6 minutes to complete. Once done, you can pour the soup directly into the serving bowl, adjust the seasoning, and garnish it with extra coconut cream and fresh herbs like basil and parsley.
2. You can also continue the recipe on the stovetop. Transfer the roasted veggies to a pan and add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then let it simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the soup to a blender and blend until creamy, or use a hand blender to blend it into a creamy consistency.

How to serve and store tomato soup

When it comes to serving tomato soup, it is always served with a slice of bread or with a grilled cheese sandwich, but being from the Middle East, let me suggest you try it with a Vegan cheese samosa and enjoy dipping the crunchy samosa in the hot tomato soup and have the perfect bite.

If you find some extra soup you’d like to enjoy later, luckily, this tomato soup is just as delicious when reheated, making it a perfect option for meal prep or a quick lunch on busy days.

You can store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

When serving leftover tomato soup, you can reheat it on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches your desired temperature.
