Roasted Tomato Soup
Tomato soup is one of my all-time favorite soups. I admit at our house it usually comes from a can. Not this time. My Mom grows a bumper crop of tomatoes every summer and this is one way she puts all of those tomatoes to good use. I embellished Mom’s recipe with a little half and half and I’m pretty sure she cuts the half and half out of Dad’s diet as much as possible! Mom roasts the tomatoes with garlic and olive oil, processes them and freezes them in batches. So smart, she has roasted tomato soup, on demand, all year long. I am just hoping I actually get some tomatoes grown this year. It has still been a little cool for my garden to really take off. Roasting the tomatoes takes a little time but I am telling you the flavors that develop are worth every minute. This was not the can soup my family is used to and I am afraid that can soup will never be accepted again!
Now for that super awesome OXO giveaway that I mentioned. It’s really handy to have a food mill for this recipe and it just so happens OXO is providing an OXO GOOD GRIPS Food Mill and a handy OXO Tomato Spatula! Check out my Reviews Page for the details on how much I love this wonderful food mill.
WE HAVE A WINNER! SHARI SAID:

OXO product allow me to truly get that good grip necessary to perform daily tasks. I have also bought their products for my grandma, who has arthritis.
And quite honestly, I think probably I would choose the food mill if given a choice!”

Now for that delicious soup recipe! I’ve included a few extra photos to show the food mill in action.
Roasted Tomato Soup
Ingredients:
- 5 pounds tomatoes (I used 2 pounds Campari & 3 pounds plum tomatoes)
- 1 or 2 heads of garlic
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/2 to 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon basil
Cooking Directions:
Line two sheet pans with foil. Cut tomatoes in half or if they are large in quarters. Cut tops off of garlic. Drizzle tomatoes and garlic with olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt, sugar and pepper. Place in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn oven off and allow tomatoes and garlic to cool for one hour in the oven.
Place the medium grinding disc in food mill (the medium disc will add a little texture to your soup, whereas with the fine disc it will provide a smoother soup). Place over a large sauce pan. Carefully squeeze roasted garlic from papery skin and discard skin. Using a rubber spatula, scrape one pan of tomatoes and garlic into food mill. Turn handle until you only have skins and seeds remaining. Carefully lift food mill and scrape the bottom into the sauce pan. Discard seeds and skins and repeat with remaining tomatoes and garlic. Don’t forget to get the yummy stuff off of the bottom of the mill.
Add half and half, water (to desired consistency), salt, and basil to tomato mixture. Place sauce pan over medium heat, whisking to combine. Stir until heated through.
Serve with grilled cheese and garnish with a swirl of cream, grated Parmesan or fresh basil if desired.
*My batch yielded 5 cups.
Enjoy!
Miss

I’m so spoiled with oxo. Kitchen gadets are what I obsess over. Unfortunately, I have pretty much everything I’d want from them with the exception of this beautiful toy and maybe some of the baby gadgets for the future. [: Like the high chair! I love how they quality design their products, I’m such a fan.

This might seem silly, but I desperately want a proper corn stripper. How incredibly convenient would that be! Oh my.
Doesn’t OXO make the best kitchen products? I own many, many OXO gadgets, but I don’t have that food mill and would love to win it! Thank you for the opportunity, Milisa!

I really want to add the food mill to my collection. I make my own pasta sauce and it would sooooo come in handy! Also on my wishlist is a dough blade and a rotary grater.
Hi, Milisa! I can only imagine how wonderful your SOUP must be (must make a batch — SOON!) Thanks for this garden fresh recipe!
As for the Oxo tools… a set of those clip magnets (in the office supply section) would be great for holding up recipes while I cook!
Every year I say that I am going to roast tomatoes, but I never get around to it. This is the year! I headed over to the OXO site (love their products), but I kept coming back to that food mill you have pictured. I have wanted a food mill for years, but have never splurged for one.

I love OXO cooking utensils. I can’t get enough of them, however… I did spy a salt & pepper grinder set I’d love to acquire, and I could also use a good oven thermometer. And that food mill could come in handy, as well. Your soup looks fabulous.

What a wonderful opportunity……THANK YOU!!! Besides the food mill, I would LOVE to have the 4 oz baby blocks freezer storage containers. The perfect size for storing/freezing goodies for the grandson.

I love tomato soups in any variety, but roasted tomato soup has to be my favorite. I only had it in the restaurants, and making it at home is on the agenda soon.
I love OXO products seriously covet their pop containers in various sizes. My pantry would look so good if all my staples are packed in beautiful, uniform boxes:)

FINALLY got a bunch of tomatoes from the garden (we were in a drought this summer) and tried this soup. the flavor is fantastic and i just used milk cuz it’s what i had on hand. i’m trying it the way you posted it next time-half and half is now on my list and this recipe is going in my box. thanks!
I really like this tool rack. It’s stdruy and simple to attach to the wall. The metal hooks slide so you can adjust them to fit the width of your hangable cooking tools. It comes with 6 hooks. I have a set of measuring cups hanging, two sets of measuring spoons on one hook, and my can opener and Oxo y peeler on the other. I like being able to get to my measuring cups and other frequently used items without having to rummage around in the drawer looking for them.
got another bunch of tomatoes and trying this wonderful soup again. my husband said he couldn’t stand to be around me after eating it again, so i’m gonna lessen the garlic
Looks outrageous!! mmmmmm good
