Roasted cherry tomato soup
Fall has rolled in, and you know what that means—soup season is officially ON! I’m talking about the soul-warming wonders of veggie, chicken, mushroom, barley, and tomato soups. Basically, if it can be souped, I’m here for it. And let’s be real—I’m even more here for it if it comes with a fabulous glass of wine.

About this Recipe
So, what’s on the menu? A vibrant Roasted Cherry Tomato Soup! Imagine spoonfuls of velvety tomato goodness with a hint of garlic and basil. Hungry yet? Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 lbs fresh cherry tomatoes (about 900g)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2½ cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- A splash of half-and-half (or more, if you’re feeling wild)
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
Step by Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prep the veggies: Roughly chop your onion into about 8 pieces. Lay the onion, cherry tomatoes, and garlic cloves onto a large rimmed baking sheet (or split across two sheets if they’re looking too cozy). Drizzle with olive oil—don’t be shy!
- Roast Away: Pop that baking sheet in the oven for 25 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the tomatoes are bursting and the onions are soft. It’ll smell heavenly, trust me.
- Blend It Up: Once things have cooled slightly, toss the garlic, roasted onions, tomatoes, chicken broth, basil, salt, and pepper into your blender. Puree until the soup is creamy and smooth. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and reheat if needed.
- Serve It with Style: Ladle into bowls and add a sprinkle of basil leaves, a swirl of half and half, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and maybe some croutons for crunch.
Now, let’s talk essentials—Grilled Cheese Toasts! Because what’s a comforting bowl of tomato soup without a gooey, crispy companion? Forget the calories; this pairing is pure autumn joy!
And now, let’s pour a glass of that magical liquid that makes everything better. Enter the 2015 Styrings Signature Pinot Noir, a wine that hits you with a touch of spice on the nose, then unfolds into layers of lush black fruits with a creamy, silky finish that lingers just right.
Sipping this Pinot Noir takes me back to a sunny fall day my friend, Stacey, where the air was crisp, and we were laughing over indulgent courses at The Painted Lady Restaurant | Oregon Wine Country | Newberg, Oregon, with no care in the world. A great wine, a great day—and now, a great soup.
Enjoy every spoonful and every sip, and here’s to making more cozy memories this fall!
