Vegan Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

Teresa Ambra
Vegan Roasted Tomato Basil Soup is so mouthwatering. This lovely soup roasts all the veggies before cooking, increasing the savory flavors of the soup tremendously. It's terrific comfort food for cold, winter nights. This delightful recipe is wonderful served with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches or dunking cornbread in it. Healthy, low calorie, gluten free and vegan.

  • Cut bell peppers in strips and place next to leeks and onions in cookie sheet.

  • Sprinkle all the veggies with dried basil and oregano.
  • Place in 400° oven and roast veggies about 45 minutes.
  • Remove from oven.
  • Remove peels from garlic and discard.
  • Place roasted veggies, garlic cloves, vegetable broth, fresh parsley and fresh basil in a sauce pot or Dutch oven.

  • Puree mixture with an immersion blender.
  • Check seasoning.
  • Add more salt and pepper, if desired.

Notes

NOTE: I used 21 average sized Roma tomatoes.
 
NOTE: You can add Almond Milk after pureeing the soup if you want a creamier texture. I personally preferred the soup without it.
 
NOTE:  If you choose to add almond milk, I recommend Califia Farms rather than Almond Breeze. Almond Breeze contains carageenan which causes cancer. It is also mostly water.
