Easy Vitamix Sheet Pan Tomato Soup Recipe - Simple And Fraiche (2024)

This Vitamix Tomato Soup recipe is so easy to make and incredibly delicious. All you need to do is roast your tomatoes on a sheet pan, then blend them up in the Vitamix with a little coconut milk and you've got yourself a nutrient-dense, flavorful soup made with fresh ingredients, that the whole family will love.

I can’t think of many things more comforting than a bowl of tomato soup served with grilled cheese.

Using a Vitamix to make tomato soup is a quick and hassle-free way to enjoy a classic comfort food. With the speed and efficiency of your trusty Vitamix blender, you can have a silky-smooth, homemade tomato soup on your table in no time. The rich, roasted flavor of the tomatoes, combined with the convenience of the Vitamix, creates a winning combination that will have you coming back for more.

This was inspired by my Tomato Basil Soup recipe and pairs well with my Italian Stuffed Spaghetti Squash.

Ingredients

• Tomatoes: Fresh cherry tomatoes are my favorite variety to use for this soup, but you can use any ripe tomato you have on hand.
• Onion: Grab yourself a sweet yellow onion, as this will add a nice layer of flavor to your soup.
• Carrot: It may seem odd to put a carrot in tomato soup, but along with the yellow onion it provides a touch of natural sweetness to the soup without having to add sugar.
• Herbs: Choose any of the following herbs or a combination of them. Oregano, rosemary, fresh thyme, or sage. I tend to use whatever I have in my garden, and I mix it up each time.
• Garlic
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Sea Salt
• Black Pepper
• Coconut Milk: To keep this recipe dairy-free, I use full-fat coconut milk. If you can tolerate dairy, feel free to use heavy cream or half-and-half.
• Chicken Stock: Use homemade or store-bought chicken stock.

Instructions

Full ingredient amounts can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. If using larger whole tomatoes, chop them into quarters and place them on a baking sheet.

Slice the onion, roughly chop the carrot, and add them to the baking sheet with the garlic cloves, herbs, and tomatoes. Toss everything in olive oil and a generous sprinkle of sea salt.

Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes or until the tomatoes, onion, and carrots are soft.

Add everything from the baking sheet to your Vitamix container.

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more salt and pepper according to your taste).

Serve your creamy tomato soup with some basil, freshly cracked ground pepper, and a drizzle of coconut milk.

Tips and tricks

• Thinner Soup: If you prefer your tomato soup to be on the thinner side, feel free to add a little more chicken broth when blending everything in the Vitamix.
• Chop Your Veggies: Make sure you chop your tomatoes and veggies to roughly the same size. This will help ensure everything roasts evenly.
• Carrot: Don’t sleep on the carrot, it’s what balances out the acidity of the tomatoes in this soup. If you enjoy your soup on the sweeter side, add another carrot or a drizzle of honey.
• Blending Tips: When blending your soup in the Vitamix, start at a low to medium speed and gradually increase until you reach the highest speed.

Variations and substitutions

• Add Additonal Veggies: Try adding red bell peppers, or shallots to the sheet pan for roasting.
• Mix Up The Herbs: You can use any fresh herbs or dried herbs that you fancy! Basil would also be a wonderful addition to this soup.
• Spice It Up: For an extra kick, try topping the soup with some red pepper flakes or chili flakes.
• Dairy vs Non-Dairy: If you can tolerate dairy, feel free to use cream or whole milk instead of coconut milk. Additionally, if you don't enjoy coconut milk you could use cashew cream or your favorite non-dairy milk.

Serving

You can serve this Vitamix tomato soup as an appetizer or main course. It pairs extraordinarily well with a grilled cheese sandwich, a slice of toasted bread, or even croutons. You can top the soup with a drizzle of coconut milk for additional richness, along with a pinch of pepper and fresh basil.

Storage

Let the creamy tomato soup cool completely. Hot soup can create condensation inside the storage container, which may affect its freshness.

If you plan to consume the soup within a few days, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

If you want to store the soup for a longer period, consider freezing it. Use freezer-safe containers or resealable freezer bags. Leave some space at the top of the container or bag to allow for expansion as the soup freezes.
