Deep, smoky, and velvety smooth, this oven-roasted tomato soup is the ultimate comfort bowl. Beautifully red and full of lycopene and Vitamin C.

There's nothing quite like a bowl of rich, deeply flavoured tomato soup made from scratch. This recipe takes things up a notch by roasting the tomatoes first — coaxing out their natural sweetness and adding a subtle smoky depth — before letting your Thermomix do the hard work of blending everything into a silky, restaurant-worthy soup. Whether you're cooking for a crowd or just treating yourself on a quiet evening, this is the kind of recipe that feels indulgent but comes together with very little effort.

Serving Suggestions:

Crusty sourdough or a toasted baguette for dunking

A swirl of cream or crème fraîche and fresh basil leaves

Crispy pancetta or bacon crumbled on top

Buttery garlic bread on the side

A grilled cheese sandwich for the ultimate comfort combo

Toasted pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of chilli oil for texture and heat

Alongside a simple green salad for a light lunch

BENEFITS:

Tomatoes: Studies show that tomatoes and tomato products may reduce your risk of heart disease and several cancers. They are also beneficial for skin health, and may protect against sunburn.
