Fresh cherry tomatoes! Gosh, they are just so darn good right now.

The stockpile at my house certainly proves it. I just canโ€™t help myself when Iโ€™m at the grocery store. I mean, the pints with all the different colors? Impossible to resist.

But since one can only eat so many tomatoes raw, Iโ€™ve taken to getting creative with them in other dishes.

So maybe you have a garden surplus? Or you just have a little problem like me going overboard at the store? Either way – letโ€™s put those babies to good use with this roasted cherry tomato soup.

We start by roasting some cherry tomatoes with a little onion and garlic. I dare you to resist popping one into your mouth after roasting – I swear, they are like candy!

Anyway, getting sidetracked here, we then puree the mixture in a blender with a touch of broth, some spices and a little bit of creamy dreamy coconut milk.

We pop the soup on the stove for a few minutes to warm up and let the flavors meld.

And then, we eat! With plenty of basil and bread please. The soup is almost bisque-like, but in a healthy sort of way. โ™ก โ™ก โ™ก

Tips & Tricks For This Roasted Tomato Soup

  1. If you are making this when tomatoes are not in season, donโ€™t worry. The roasting really brings them to life and draws out their awesome flavor. It will still be fabulously delicious.
  2. You could certainly add more or less broth to taste to get the soup to the exact consistency you like. We think the thickness is perfect as written, but feel free to play around.
  3. If your can of coconut milk is separated: I like to add the contents to a small saucepan and heat on the stove over medium until just combined and no longer separated (it doesnโ€™t need to be warm or hot). Then measure out what you need for the soup and save the rest for smoothies.
  4. Adjust the heat as needed when you are warming the soup on the stove. I usually start with it on medium-low and turn down to low as it heats (to avoid it bubbling and splattering everywhere).

Healthy, creamy, homemade tomato soup. Itโ€™s just the best!

PS – Looking for a version of this soup that uses canned tomatoes? Then be sure to check out this Dairy Free Tomato Soup. It’s super similar in flavor and texture (and also vegan & gluten free!) but uses all pantry staples.
