I just made this and it was so quick and easy! I wanted a fast vegan tomato soap but all of the others ones took more than an hour. I did not put the onions (not a big fan) and it was still amazing! This is now going to be one of my go-to recipes for soup

I made this last night and was shocked!! I can't believe I have been suffering with canned tomato soup for so long when this is so easy to make and flavorful!! The thing that took me the longest was chopping everything and waiting for the tomatoes to break down, but it was a very low-effort dish that turned out delicious. I will never be buying canned tomato soup ever again!

It was a bit thick, so I did add some chicken broth about halfway through the breakdown process and it worked out to have a really nice consistency.

Thanks so much!

I roasted the ingredients except for basil, it gave it more flavour will definitely make it again

I made this soup several times this summer. It is excellent. It was especially good with a blend of heirloom tomatoes from my sister-in-law's garden. I also froze 9 cups of this soup for winter. Thanks so much for a great recipe. Also I went oil-free and used an immersion blender. Thanks again!

Easy and delicious. Doubled the garlic because that is what we like. Thanks for posting this recipe!

Thank you so much for this recipe! I just found it abs I made it for my husband tonight for dinner and he absolutely loved it 😍 I didn’t use oil at all to sauté so this was oil free. I couldn’t tell the difference and usually tomato soups use cream to make it creamy but I found using my Vitamix made it creamy and smooth just fine. I love how easy and quick this recipe was and the few ingredients needed. Well done!

I made this soup for my wife's christmas lunch starter and it was great! Followed the recipe / method, only change was to add a dessert spoon of sugar which took away the slight bitterness of the fresh tomatoes which were slightly under-ripe......usual supermarket standard.

I didn't have fresh basil available at an affordable price ($4.99 for a small bubble pack and I would need several!) Within the veggie section of most grocery stores there is tube herbs. Basil is always avail (as is cilantro, which we use in our salsa) and a few others. Try this! This recipe would take the whole tube, but still tastes closer to fresh basil than anything dried can produce. :)

In reply to Zhoonoh. You can (and should!) adjust the seasonings and basil amount based on the quality and timing of the tomatoes. Maybe you were looking more for a cream based? Reading the ingredients, this is def meant as a pure tomato/basil recipe and not the creamy kind with added cashew cream, etc.
