Divine, delicious, finger-lickin’ and plate-lickin’ good! This roasted tomato soup is so simple to make! Basically, the oven and blender do all the work, you just do the tasting!
Don’t think that creamy soup made with fresh tomatoes tastes the same as one made with roasted tomatoes. There is a noticeable difference when you use roasted tomatoes and add some garlic. The same goes for the creamy baked vegetable soup; it is simply a flavor upgrade.
If you want to get even closer to perfection, serve the soup with a warm butter and cheese sandwich. I would personally put cheddar cheese and maybe basil pesto between two slices of buttered, pan-fried bread.

This soup is not to be missed, especially during garden tomato season. Served with grated Parmesan and croutons, it’s a delight.
