Recipe For Tomato Pesto Soup

By zopisces4 July 18, 2023 Post a Comment

Roasted tomato pesto soup can be anything you want - soupy and runny or thick and creamy. It always tastes good because tomatoes and basil is such a classic combination. Dunk some cheesy bread in, and you'll feel like you are tasting pizza somewhere.

This side of the world, we have fresh, juicy, tomatoes coming in strong and I had to make the obligatory tomato soup to celebrate. We are adding a secret ingredient to this favorite (not so secret anymore since its in the recipe title 🙄) and taking this to the next level! Yes yes, its basil pesto.

Instant

So this version of tomato soup is a little different from the original. I'm adding an extra step or modifying a step to get more flavor from these tomatoes.

Roasted Tomato Soup With Pesto And Grilled Cheese Croutons

We start by roasting the tomatoes, carrots, onions and garlic. This really sweetens the tomatoes and makes this soup even more delicious. Then everything is blended together.

And finally we reheat it with some stock (if you like) to thin it out slightly, and finally stir in some balsamic vinegar for extra umami and pesto. Which is what makes this roasted tomato pesto soup so special.

Tomatoes and basil are obviously, legitimately married to each other in a very good way. And in this soup, the pesto adds a nice, herby touch. So you are thinking summer but it's actually perfect for winter. I love the freshness from the pesto, and the toasty, caramelized flavor of the tomatoes and veggies.

You can either make your own pesto for the soup - watch the video below for a quick recipe (not super authentic but it's the perfect flavor) or just use store bought pesto.

There is no cream in this recipe because honestly you don't need it. But if you like, add a dollop of butter right before serving! I won't tell 😉

Homemade tomato basil pesto soup uses roasted tomatoes, carrots and onions as a base. Blended into a thick soup, and then flavored with basil pesto, this soup is easy and healthy. Its naturally gluten free and vegan.

Perfect for a busy weeknight, you’ll love the flavors of this tomato bail soup! Ready in just 15 minutes, it’s great when you have minimal time and minimal energy!

Let me know if this sounds familiar. You’re trying to eat healthier, and being smart about what you put into your body… but there’s one thing you’re always short on. TIME. After working a long day at the office (or a long day caring for the kids), dinner rolls around and you have barely any time to cook. You don’t want to eat take-out… so now what?

Creamy Tomato Florentine Soup

Normally, I like to let soups simmer away for at least 30 minutes (or even better, in a slow cooker all day!), so when I saw this recipe, I was leery of the quick cooking time.

After just one bite, I was amazed. The flavors were deep, rich, and absolutely fantastic!! If I hadn’t known better, I would think the soup cooked for hours!

Firstly, I love a good soup/salad combo… so I would have a green salad alongside a bowl of this tomato basil soup. Also, you really can’t go wrong with a grilled cheese. But those can be pretty high in points. This recipe is fairly low in points, especially when you make it into “croutons”.

Great question!! Fresh tomatoes are amazing, especially in the summer! It will take some tweaking, and a little bit longer cooking time, but here’s what I would do:

I really love the pesto drizzle on top of the soup. Even if you’re not a huge pesto fan, give it a try! The optional swirl of extra half and half is great too, but not necessary if you’re worried about adding any additional calories or points.

Easy Tomato Soup {storecupboard Ingredients}

A swirl of fresh Basil Pesto really amps up the flavour profile and gets those taste buds tingling. Vegan and vegetarian recipe options available.

Tomatoes are the star of the show here on the blog! During the summer we can’t get enough of fresh garden tomatoes and herbs in this Tomato Cucumber Herb Salad. Every fall, we can up a case of Roma tomatoes to make our annual Roma Tomato Passata.

Creamy

This recipe for homemade tomato soup has been a long time coming and I’m so glad to finally share the recipe with you today! There is nothing more satisfying than sitting down to a bowl of this soup.

Crock Pot Pesto Tomato Soup

I don’t want to toot my own horn but the flavour and bisque-like texture of this soup is second to none and certainly far above soup that comes from a can. Plus, it’s so EASY!

The answer is triple the tomatoes…to triple the Tomato Soup Flavour! In most recipes, but especially ones as simple as this one, the quality of ingredients is of greatest importance.

This recipe contains fresh Roma Tomatoes grown right in our backyard, both fresh and oven roasted. In addition, adding a whole can of San Marzano tomatoes really coaxes out maximum tomato flavour in this soup.

Raw Basil Pesto 200g

I did a little flavour/texture experiment with this soup. First I tested half of the soup with just the four main ingredients; tomatoes, stock, onion, and garlic. Then I tested the other half using a thickening agent like pine nuts.

Both versions had a light creamy texture (I attribute this to the Vitamix #notsponsored) but the pine nut version was creamier and had such a nice nutty flavour.

If you don’t have pine nuts, toast up some raw cashews or sunflower seeds. All three will add a bit of sweetness and are a great way to make vegetable soups ultra creamy.

Vegetarian Recipe #13: Tomato & Pesto Soup

Vegans rejoice! You can easily substitute vegetable stock for the chicken stock and use nutritional yeast in place of the cheese in the basil pesto.

Tomato

Both versions of this soup are tasty on their own. However, if you want to amp up the flavour even more, adding basil is the way to go. There’s just something about the two flavours that really compliment each other.

Basil is one of those herbs that can be difficult to grow but this summer I discovered the secret. Not only do tomatoes and basil taste great together, but they grow well together too!

Pesto Tomato Soup Recipe

Taking the time to whip up a fresh batch of Basil Pesto really takes this soup to another level. It’s really easy to make, just place fresh basil leaves, toasted pine nuts, finely grated Parmesan Cheese, and a squeeze of lemon in the bowl of a food processor.

Season, then process and drizzle in olive oil until you have reached your desired consistency. That’s it! I love the colour contrast between the swirl of bright green pesto on the bright orange soup.

Oh, heck yes! Especially this version. It’s packed full of tomatoes which are extremely high in lycopene. Lycopene is an anti-oxidant which is linked to bone health as well as reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer.
