Roasted Tomato Soup

Roasted Tomato Soup is a rich, flavorful variation of classic tomato soup where tomatoes are roasted with aromatics like garlic and onions before being blended. This cooking method caramelizes the natural sugars, resulting in a deeper, sweeter, and more complex flavor profile than traditional stovetop versions. It's a beloved comfort food with roots in Mediterranean and American culinary traditions.
