    roasted tomato basil soup recipe
    Roasted Tomato Basil Soup Recipe with step by step photos. A filling, delicious soup that is vegan, so creamy despite not having any cheese to add to its thickness.

    It makes a wholesome and complete meal when served with a crusty bread and salad.

    This is the sort of soup that demands some bread to go with it as you just can’t help reaching for one to mop up all the soupy goodness.

    I made this soup when I made Italian cuisine for our Sunday lunch on kids demand.

    I had made this soup already but differently with coriander leaves and its stalk. I did not know what I was missing until I used basil pesto in the soup. It was so yummmm… is all I can say. And before you think anything, there is nothing wrong with coriander but it was definitely not basil.

    I have used standard tomatoes here but a combination of cherry and roma tomatoes will be even more awesome. The addition of carrots will bring down the acidity of the tomatoes.

    After making this life changing, palate challenging basil flax seed pesto, I was not going to waste any of the stalks of the basil, as I never get fresh basil leaves here, so I added them to the roasting ingredients and the smell coming out of the oven was so amazing.

    Whenever I make veg kurma or biryani, I collect the peels of the veggies and make a quick stock and freeze them in ziplock bags.

    So all I had to do was thaw a bag out and use it in this roasted tomato basil soup as its base and it was so delicious. Healthy without the added salt when you have to use a soup cube.

    I added kashmiri red chili powder which gave this soup a lovely color without making the soup taste super hot and spicy. I skipped adding red chili flakes as I do not like biting on a seed while eating soup.

    And finally adding lemon juice at the end will take this roasted tomato basil soup to a whole new level. It will not only maintain that lovely color of the soup but will also make it taste more tangy and tasty.

    You can always replace lemon juice with red wine vinegar if you have on hand, but since I don’t get it here, I stick to lemon juice, which gets the job done.
