This is my absolute favorite tomato soup recipe. It is very flexible. I usually add red peppers along with the tomatoes, before roasting. At the end, before blending the roasted peppers and tomatoes, I will add fresh basil. Amazing recipe!
I was just thinking that I want to try this with fresh basil, but throwing in the roasted red peppers as well sounds like perfection. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tip! I'm not a big tomato soup fan but this looked yummy. The sheer fussiness and number of dishes put me off. I'll give it a try with my immersion blender!
The shallots add lots of aromatics, especially when cooked with the butter and tomato paste. Also, this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a crowd!
@@johna.murillo6504 Ok, thanks. I made the Food Wishes version a couple of times, very delicious, but I'm looking forward to making this one. Hopefully my Silpat is big enough so I don't have to bake on aluminum foil.
One of my favorite “throwback” meals is cream of tomato-rice soup with buttered crackers. I enjoyed this meal with a sweet senior lady I took care of many years ago. I have tried many times to recreate the soup to no avail. I will try this recipe and add some cooked rice. Fingers crossed!
Suggestions: Since they are naturally sweet, try adding some onion to the roasting tomatoes in place of the sugar, roast the tomatoes in a high sided baking pan, and use some of the stock to get the fond off the bottom of it, and use the liquid in the blending, so none of caramelized goodness is lost.
Hi, I thought it was a perfect suggestion, however the onion did not blend in well. So I had bits of onion in the end. Oh Maybe my blender sucks lol. Otherwise so smooth and absolutely delicious
Occasionally, my mom bought canned tomato or mushroom soup but never added water as the label instructed---it was always whole milk. I still do this all these decades later. Some soups were born to be bisques.
Best I've found. Tried tweeking it a bit, but the recipe is great as it is. Maybe drizzle a little balsamic on the tomatoes before roasting. Made this multiple times. First one using canned tomatoes that tasted good.
Made this today, absolutely amazing flavor with caramelized tomato. Excellent! I did add one thing.. cooked a cup total of shredded carrots and celery and then puréed and added along with other puréed part of recipe.
i make this in a corningware ceramic baking dish since someone told me the acid from tomatoes react with aluminum. sometimes i'll add more veggies to roast, like garlic, onion, zucchini, and carrot for sweetness instead of sugar. just my own take on it to make it last through more meals. and if i want it smokey, i'll add some smoked kielbasa sausage that i take out before blending.
As soon as i saw her separating the juice from the tomatoes i knew it'd be a good version. Very interesting take. All spice and brandy. Two things i've never considered. I see she's missing garlic, black pepper, and any combination of basil, rosemary, thyme or oregano that can really adult this soup. All in all looks delish.
fwiw it's actually the lack of standard tomato partners like basil and rosemary and oregano that make this soup worth cooking, especially for non-tomato soup lovers like my own self
I grew up loathing tomato soup! Looking back, I know because it came from a can. The first time I had a creamy basil tomato soup/bisque, I was hooked! Thanks for this recipe, can't wait to try it☺
This is an excellent recipe and so simple. I added red bell pepper to the grill pan and grilled the tomatoes and pepper instead of putting the oven on. Doesn't cost as much!! I added garlic and Italian herbs....
I’ve made this recipe several times this winter and coolish spring. I’ve followed the recipe to the letter and it turns out great every time. It is a lot of steps and work and the results are worth it. My family loves it especially when we have leftover pizza on the side. The only addition I’ve ever added is one roasted red pepper for depth of flavour and that’s it. 🍅 🥣🙌🏻
I've been using Stella Parks' tomato soup recipe for years, but this looks spectacular, from the caramelization of the tomatoes with brown sugar to the blending trick. Time to buy some tomatoes and have at it.
My two suggestions: use double thickness of foil, because those tomatoes stick right through one layer of foil; also I added an additional tablespoon of brown sugar after blending; otherwise the soup was too acidic for my taste (and I'm no fan of adding sugar to savory foods).
Reynolds brand makes a non stick foil and is thicker than their normal box. Just be sure to use the non stick side, as it is is marked on the right side to use.
I think I´ll try blending the roasted tomatos with a cup of liquid before adding them to the soup. The flavors can mingle after blending and it seems much easier than straining them out.
Rather than adding the roasted tomatoes to the pot with the liquids, cooking, straining and then adding back -- would it work to add the roasted tomatoes from the sheet pan to the blender with the sauteed shallots and some liquid to the blender, pulverize, then add that back to the saucepan with the rest of the liquid? This would save the second straining step.
Thank you for sharing this superb, easy to follow soup recipe. It tasted so divine. My partner thought it was the best tomato soup ever. Love from Brunei.
I use my garden tomatoes 🍅 to make the soup with your recipe as a guide. I use an immersion blender as I don’t have a counter top blender. My garden basil leaves are finely chopped as a garnish, sometimes I use mint instead.
I want to use my tomatoes out of my garden too. Is there a change to this recipe or a method I should use to get this same soup using fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones?
@@thomasbrooks8112 I freeze my tomatoes after picking. When I’m ready to make soup, I immerse them in cold water to thaw them. The next step is to peel off the skins. Add them to a pot with the sauteed onions, garlic, etc. Bring to a medium boil. At this point, add whatever spices you want. Since I don’t have a food processor, I use an immersion blender until the mixture is smooth….salt & pepper to taste!
Thanks, I can't wait to try it! My tomato plants already have tomatoes on them! I should have ripe tomatoes in a couple of weeks. That's really early for western Washington state. I live in Tacoma, just 30 miles south of Seattle.
This can easily be made Vegan friendly by using vegetable boullion instead of chicken broth (i use roasted veg better than boullion from whole foods) and instead if cream blend raw soaked cashew 1/2 cup with one and one half cup water. Will be just as delicious.
You can also toss the drained tomatoes in shallots,garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil then put Them on the Wire rack And make delish oven dried tomatoes at a lower temp for longer then incorporate this into the soup. Reserve one to Julienne and broil for A moment and save for a garnish with a crouton and a slice of chèvre sukka!
May I make a suggestion that most people don't know about brown sugar? Don't spend that extra money on it. Brown sugar is nothing more and nothing less than granulated white sugar mixed with black strap molasses. Mix it as light or as dark as you want, as needed. A jar of molasses will last for years, plus no more brown sugar bricks left in the pantry too long.
Or you can just skip the sugar completely. The dish doesn't need it. The tomatoes will caramelize nicely in the oven without the addition of sugar. A splash of dry sherry toward the end will add depth and complexity.
Could you get more of those roast tomatoes off the foil with a cup of the tomato juice and a bit more scraping, or would the foil tear? I might try this but with a stainless steel pan instead.
@@saffloweroyl3663 it’s roasted tomato. If you get some baked on tomato feel lucky. This is why you are using a sheet pan. You want a little burn. It flavor it will add depth. When you have a little brown on the pan remove from the oven and work the tomatoes around the pan it’s ok to mash them down a little. This will release the baked on goodness from the pan. Skip all that non stick junk for this one.
as an avid cognac drinker i was a bit confused when she said she was going to add some brandy and opened the bottle of hennessy cognac then said you COULD add sherry or cognac.
I tried this recipe and nearly burned the entire tray of tomatoes in the oven at the 450 temp for 30 minutes. Should've known better but I got distracted while cooking and I should've checked on them... There was barely enough roasted tomato to salvage but I worked with what I had and the soup still came out really great.
One big onion chopped coursely One can fire roasted tomatoes (plain) 1-2 tbsps sugar (or whatever you need to take that bit of acidity out) 2 tbsps butter S & P Saute onion in butter about 5 mins Add tomatoes, sugar & S&P. Bring to a boil. Turn to med low. Cook 10-15 mins. Use immersive blender in pot or blender and puree! Takes, in total, less than 20 minutes. No need to roast or clean or drain. If you want to get fancy, you can add whatever else you like~herbs, garlic, cream etc. I love the simple recipe. It's soothing and warming and not at all complex. A bowl of that with a few crackers crumbled in, is great for recovering from your immune system doing what it should, after your third dose of the covid vaccine! 😂 Jenn 🇨🇦 👋 👋 Hello from Canada
@@Cyberdine.Systems.Model-101 Hi! I'm in Ontario! Both of our daughters moved to NS last year. They loooooooooove it, 😂. We have lots of relatives there. Nice to meet you! Now to tomatoes~ I have to admit I don't know if they're even sold in Canada. I actually buy them from amazon. If you order from them, the brand we absolutely love is Muir Glen Organic Roasted Tomatoes either whole or diced. They are a bit dear~around $4CAD each, but I only use them when premium tomatoes are called for and you need the tomato flavour to shine. Like this soup. I use store brand otherwise. It's a little splurge. I keep two can in my pantry at all times. Should you buy them the taste is out of this world compared to the store brand. Hope that helps!
@@Cyberdine.Systems.Model-101 Always welcome and thank you for the reassurance. They live in (one daughter) and outside (my oldest) of New Glasgow. Absolutely beautiful. They moved from Hamilton (which they had seriously begun to hate). Both girls grew up in a very rural area here in Ontario. They are both country girls through and through and are incredibly happy there! They also have a close friend who's hubby is in the Navy and a whole bunch of cousins in NS. So not alone. They love it! Stay safe. Stay well! Jenn.
Probably the best recipe for cream of tomato soup I've ever seen. I just wonder if you could use a large can of V-8 juice instead of the chicken stock, i think it would bring a new flavor element to the soup. I'm just thinking around the edges of the box but I really hate to mess with perfection!
Hello! I make a "hamburger soup" from a recipe from the early 30s, that calls for tomato juice, but I usually use V8. I sometimes use chicken stock or tomato juice or water, 😂. This recipe begs to be tweaked doesn't it? A jar of roasted red peppers would be good too! My mum was a chef, so we ate well. But~my favourites were and still are (I'm old-ish) simple recipes I can pull together in no time. Now~ The V8 would most definitely change the flavour profile of this soup. It wouldn't be bad~just different. When my mum was thinking of a new recipe she always made what she called the "test batch". It was usually about enough for two people to have a few spoons~just "to see." I would suggest that for your idea. Then if it isn't to your liking you a) won't have to force yourself to eat it to avoid waste or 2) give it to the dog or the compost heap! Jenn 🇨🇦 👋 👋 Hello from Canada!
I just saw someone on another YT channel use V8, so I'd say you sure could use it. She said if you're not using V8, add some celery. She didn't say to add extra liquid, but of course you would to make up the volume. If you use V8, go easy on the salt and adjust it in the end. - - Personally, V8 hardly makes an appearance around here, nor does celery (sometimes I freeze it for soup, stew for flavour) - so I might try celery salt.
ATK,Hello BRIDGETTE, THIS VERSION OF MY FAVOURITE SOUP,,,,ILL DEFINATELY Try,BTW,I THOUGHT YOU HAD A TARTAN SKIRT, HOWEVER,IT WAS AN APRON ! WOW ,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I know I can just leave it out but is there a suggested alternative to the brown sugar. I am trying to reduce sugar intake as much as possible 'cause type 2 diabetes
Someone else in the comments said: "Use Dextrose powder rather than brown sugar and you'll get the browning enhancement without the extra sweetness." I have no idea what that is, but sounds like an idea for you.
Seems a bit over complicated but I get it. Mine is simpler, very good and you pick up that deep flavor by adding tomato paste to a lightly browned mirapou. The leftovers make for a nice pasta sauce by adding some cheese...
I would like to suggest forgoing the aluminum foil as aluminum is neurotoxic and strongly linked with neurological diseases. Parchment paper is a good option. Or sometimes I just roast veggies directly on glass with a thin layer of oil/butter.
Most everything manmade is neurotoxic, including your phone. Doesn’t mean particles are making their way into your body. It doesn’t work that way. The melting point of aluminum is over 1200 degrees Fahrenheit so you’re good.
"While it is true that some aluminum gets into food when cooked in aluminum foil or with aluminum cookware, and that this is enhanced in acidic foods, it is not true this causes any health effects in healthy adults."
I'm not a fan of sweet things, but when I made exactly as suggested, I thought the soup was simply too acidic, so I ended up adding an additional tablespoon or so of brown sugar. That, plus the cream, made all of the difference. I do like the idea of adding a bouquet garni of some kind.
Roast a couple of medium sized carrots (chopped) with the tomatoes instead of adding sugar. I also roast a couple of celery stalks. Don't worry about chopping the veggies too much because they're all going to be blended anyway.
This is my absolute favorite tomato soup recipe. It is very flexible. I usually add red peppers along with the tomatoes, before roasting. At the end, before blending the roasted peppers and tomatoes, I will add fresh basil. Amazing recipe!
I was just thinking that I want to try this with fresh basil, but throwing in the roasted red peppers as well sounds like perfection. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe also roast some garlic along with all the tomatoes and red peppers in the same pan?
Ya'll are creeping into pastz sauce territory. Lol
Good call, I like the pepper add as well as basil!
I put roasted red peppers and carrots in. Tasty and nutritious. The carrotss add sweetness
I've been making this soup for years. It's a wintertime favorite! I use an immersion blender to save time and dishes. Highly recommended recipe!
Thanks for the tip! I'm not a big tomato soup fan but this looked yummy. The sheer fussiness and number of dishes put me off. I'll give it a try with my immersion blender!
No celery and garlic? I'll try it without, maybe the roasted tomatoes are enough flavor.

You can also use this same technique with butternut squash to make an amazing bisque…add rosemary/basil for additional depth of flavor!
This is hands down the best Butternut Squash soup I've found. ua-cam.com/video/AlRqh21CfHI/v-deo.html
I prefer sage with butternut squash
@@fredalwatkins4506 Watch the video. Sage added at 3:03.
Indian variation: substitute coconut cream for cream, garam masala for spices and some cumin seeds with the shallots. Love it.

I made this for my mom, sans allspice because I didn’t have it, or the brandy. A little fussy but worth it, for sure.
By the time you finish cooking this soup, a cool winters day will be warming up for spring.
That looks delicious. However, I would like to make it without the sugar. Maybe I’ll just add rosemary and thyme, or something. Any suggestions?
I like to add just a hint of pesto, not much as it is a strong flavor.
I'm not a fan of sweet things, but when I made exactly as suggested, I thought the soup was simply too acidic, so I ended up adding an additional tablespoon or so of brown sugar. That, plus the cream, made all of the difference. I do like the idea of adding a bouquet garni of some kind.
Roast a couple of medium sized carrots (chopped) with the tomatoes instead of adding sugar. I also roast a couple of celery stalks. Don't worry about chopping the veggies too much because they're all going to be blended anyway.
Yum. This recipe made my mouth water 🤤🤤🤤
Hi
My wife loves tomato basil soup. Any appropriate way to incorporate that into the recipe?
Hennessy soup🥲
What about celery & onion.
💯🌷
Better to use fresh
What was the brandy brand used?
Is there a way to make this without the sugar or brandy?
just a pinch, tip of a knife, keybump. same thing.
They link to the recipe but you have to enter credit card data in order to see it. Good video though.
What temp to roast them on?
Likely 400-450F.
Ditch the foil and use a wire rack on top of the sheet pan.
I wish she showed this using fresh tomatoes
My tomatoes stuck to the foil! I halved recipe as I only had one tin of whole tomatoes. Will make again. Quite nice soup
Mine did as well, though they were also overcooked. I can't decide if it was time or temperature that caused it.

Time and temp...either one. If cooking 30 min I will go 400 degrees. At 450 I would only do 20 min.
Great, but I would have added basil
