Believe it or not, a beautifully complex tomato soup can start on a sheet pan.

In this recipe, the tomatoes, onions, and garlic are roasted until caramelized and slightly charred, adding a sweetness and subtle smokiness to the finished dish. The result is a light, yet velvety soup that feels both rustic and refined. Top with croutons, and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported straight to a cozy French bistro.

“Roasting the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and softens their acidity,” shared recipe tester Liz Mervosh. “I particularly liked how pure the tomato flavor is—sweet with just a hint of grassiness. It reminds me of how a summer tomato tastes when pulled straight from the garden.”
