This soup is all about delivering a rich, comforting taste using simple, wholesome ingredients that fit perfectly into a paleo lifestyle. By roasting fresh tomatoes, onions, and garlic, we coax out natural sweetness and add a gentle smokiness—no dairy needed. Deliciously creamy and satisfying, this recipe will warm you from the inside out.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ripe tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium onion, quartered
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth (paleo-friendly)
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 6 fresh basil leaves)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the tomato halves, onion quarters, and garlic cloves on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for about 25 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and begun to caramelize around the edges.
Carefully transfer the roasted vegetables to a large saucepan. Pour in the broth, then stir in the dried basil. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Let it bubble away for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Using an immersion blender (or transferring the mixture to a blender in batches), purée the soup until smooth.
Return the soup to low heat and stir in the coconut milk. Season with sea salt and pepper, tasting as you go to get that perfect balance. If you’d like a thinner consistency, add a splash more broth. Serve hot, drizzled with extra olive oil or garnished with fresh basil leaves for a bright pop of flavor.
This Sun-Kissed Roasted Paleo Tomato Soup is a versatile, belly-warming dish great for lunch, a light dinner, or whenever you crave something hearty without dairy or grains. It’s full of vitamins from ripe tomatoes, and the natural creaminess from coconut milk makes it suitable for anyone avoiding dairy. Feel free to switch up the flavor by adding a sprinkle of chili flakes for heat or stirring in extra fresh herbs if you like a more herbaceous taste. However you enjoy it, this paleo-friendly soup proves that comfort food can be both nourishing and delicious.
