I hated tomato soup until I create this Easy Roasted Tomato Soup Recipe. After making a big batch of this you’ll never want to purchase the processed, unhealthy, canned version at the store again!
The recipe I’m posting is for a single batch, with great success I’ve doubled, tripled and quadrupled it! I made a triple batch with 15 pounds of tomatoes fresh picked from our garden!
How to make Roasted Tomato Soup
Roasting the tomatoes brings out the natural sweetness, so don’t skip this important step..
And if you haven’t already invested in a Vitamix – I strongly encourage you to take the plunge. This soup is the very reason we purchased ours. Not only does it blend everything velvety smooth, it has a unique steam venting lid, so you don’t have to worry about heat-realted-steeam-blender explosions like you do with regular blenders!!!
Now, even though I have one of the very best blenders, I still pour my blended soup through a fine mesh strainer to ensure no little bits of skin are present. Taking this extra step is what ensures you have a velvety smooth soup, like you’d expect at a fine restaurant!

Nutrition
For the canning procedure, you don’t need to add lemon juice(an acid)? A boiling water bath is okay as opposed to a pressure canner?
I don’t add lemon juice, but if you’re more comfortable please do so.
How many quarts does the recipe make?
it will depend on the tomatoes, but I get about 3-4 quarts per batch 🙂
