Easy Roasted Tomato Soup Maker Recipe

Sharing is caring!

This easy roasted tomato soup maker recipe is packed with fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic and basil. Roasting the vegetables first gives the soup loads of flavour before everything goes into the soup maker to cook and blend until smooth.

Tomato soup is one of my favourites when the weather starts getting colder, and I’ve made this version quite a few times now. The first time I made it, I added a red pepper, but I actually prefer it without – for me, the roasted tomatoes have plenty of flavour on their own.

I add a large potato to help thicken the soup naturally. It gives it a lovely creamy texture without needing to add cream or milk.

Although this is a soup maker recipe, you will need to roast the tomatoes first. I usually use the oven, although you could roast them in the air fryer instead. It takes a little extra time, but I think the flavour is definitely worth it.

What you need to make tomato soup in a soup maker

You only need a handful of simple ingredients:

• 600g fresh tomatoes – use ripe tomatoes for the best flavour.
• 1 white onion – cut into wedges ready for roasting.
• 2 garlic cloves – or I sometimes use 2 teaspoons of Lazy Garlic for convenience.
• 1 large potato – this helps thicken the soup and gives it a creamy texture without adding cream.
• 5 fresh basil leaves – tomato and basil are always a winning combination!
• 1 vegetable stock cube
• 800ml warm water
• Olive oil
• Salt and black pepper

I’ve made this with red pepper in the past, but personally I prefer keeping it simple and letting the roasted tomato flavour come through.

Can I make roasted tomato soup without a soup maker?

Yes. If you don’t have a soup maker, you can still make this recipe in a saucepan and blend it once the vegetables are cooked.

A stick blender is probably the easiest option, although you could also carefully transfer the soup to a suitable blender.

I personally use my soup maker because I can leave it to cook and blend everything for me.

What soup maker do I use?

I’ve been using a Morphy Richards Sauté and Soup Maker for around five years now and it’s still one of my favourite kitchen appliances.

For this recipe, I roast the tomatoes separately first, but for soups such as leek and potato I love having the sauté function because I can soften the onions and leeks directly in the soup maker before adding the remaining ingredients.

Mine also has both smooth and chunky settings. I use the smooth setting for this tomato soup as I prefer it completely blended and creamy.

You don’t need to use the same model, though. This recipe should work in other soup makers – just make sure you stay between the minimum and maximum fill levels for your particular machine.

Can I adapt this tomato soup recipe?

Absolutely. This is a really easy recipe to adapt depending on what you have available.

Tomatoes: I usually use standard ripe tomatoes, but cherry or plum tomatoes work too. The most important thing is using tomatoes with plenty of flavour.

Stock: I use vegetable stock, but you can swap this for chicken stock if you don’t need the soup to be vegetarian.

Herbs: Basil is my favourite with tomato, although you can experiment with other herbs you enjoy.

Red pepper: I’ve tried adding red pepper before and it works perfectly well, but personally I prefer the flavour without it.

Cream: You don’t need any. The potato helps give this soup its thicker, creamy texture without adding dairy.

How to store roasted tomato soup

This is a great recipe to bulk make and have for lunch as leftover soup for a few days. If you make this and have some leftovers, simply store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Then just ensure it is reheated until it is piping hot, the best way to do this is on the hob over medium heat.

This soup is just as great the next day!

What to serve with roasted tomato soup

I’m quite happy with a big bowl of this on its own, but you can’t really go wrong with some good bread on the side.

A few of our favourites are:

• Crusty bread or a warm part-baked roll
• Homemade croutons
• A cheese toastie
• A simple cheese sandwich
• A little grated cheese on top

If you’re making this for lunch, soup and a cheese toastie is particularly hard to beat!

If you enjoyed this roasted tomato soup, try my leek and potato soup next. It’s another recipe I make in my soup maker and is perfect when you want an easy, warming lunch.

Your soup maker doesn’t have to be limited to soup either. I’ve recently made a Ninja Soup Maker Katsu Curry, using the soup maker to create a smooth, flavour-packed katsu curry sauce. It’s become a really easy way to make one of our favourite fakeaway meals at home.

I’m gradually adding more of the recipes we actually make in our soup makers, so I’ll keep adding them here as the collection grows.
