Jamie Oliver’s Roasted Tomato Soup is a smooth, flavour-packed soup made by roasting tomatoes, garlic, onions, and herbs, then blending them with stock. The method enhances sweetness, reduces acidity, and delivers a comforting bowl with a bold, roasted flavour.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 kg ripe tomatoes, halved

    • 1 onion, sliced

    • 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled

    • 2 tbsp olive oil

    • 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme

    • 1–2 roasted red peppers (optional, for extra sweetness)

    • 600–700 ml vegetable stock

    • Salt and black pepper, to taste

    • Fresh basil or parsley, for serving

    • A splash of balsamic vinegar (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Arrange halved tomatoes, sliced onions, and unpeeled garlic cloves on a roasting tray. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs.

Step 2: Roast Until Soft and Caramelised

Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 30–35 minutes until the tomatoes soften and develop light charred edges.

Step 3: Squeeze Out the Garlic

Remove the garlic cloves, squeeze the soft roasted garlic out of their skins, and add them to a pot.

Step 4: Transfer and Add Stock

Tip the roasted tomatoes and onions into the pot. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 5: Blend Until Smooth

Use a hand blender or countertop blender to puree the soup until silky and smooth.

Step 6: Adjust Seasoning

Taste and add more salt, pepper, or a splash of balsamic vinegar if you want extra brightness.

Step 7: Serve Warm

Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with fresh basil, olive oil, or a swirl of cream.
