    Roasted tomato soup has a deep tomato flavor with just a playful amount of heat, along with the smokiness of bacon mingled throughout!

    You have no doubt tried a basic tomato soup, and then you grew up and enjoyed the more gourmet Tomato Basil Bisque. Well, it is time to meet tomato bisque's cooler older cousin - roasted tomato soup. He's deep, mysterious, and always leaves you wanting more.

    This soup is phenomenal! It has deep tomato flavor with just a playful amount of heat from adobo peppers, along with the satisfying salty crunch of bacon. This is easily the best tomato soup recipe I've ever made! This soup is amazing with grilled cheese sandwiches or simply served on its own.

    Tip: If you have a hard time locating fire-roasted tomatoes in the grocery store check the organic aisle.

    How to Make Roasted Tomato Soup

    The best way to make this soup is to puree your tomatoes in a kitchen blender. However, I recommend doing so before you heat them up to eliminate the risk of hot tomato sauce flying out and scalding you.  Otherwise, an immersion blender is perfectly suited to this task as well, it just takes a bit longer (the above links are affiliate links).

    Begin making this soup by cooking your bacon in a skillet. The bacon grease is also used to saute the onion, which adds additional flavor to the soup. I do not puree the sauteed onions with the tomatoes because I like the chunky texture they add to the soup, but you can puree them if you want everything smooth.

    Once everything is cooked, the soup is slowly simmered and the remaining ingredients are added. To prevent the bacon from getting soggy, add it when serving the soup.

    Can Roasted Tomato Soup Be Made in Advance?

    Yes! This soup is perfect to make in advance as the flavors will continue to meld in your refrigerator. You can even freeze this soup and reheat it later. Please note, the bacon will soften if it is sitting in the soup as it is stored, but it will still taste great.

    How to Customize This Recipe

    This is not a spicy soup, but if you don't want any heat you can omit the adobo chili altogether. Alternatively, instead of using bacon you can add a more herbal twist by using country breakfast sausage instead or make it vegetarian without using any meat. The heavy cream can even be omitted to make it vegan, and save on calories.
