Print Recipe

A cozy and easy homemade soup featuring roasted cherry tomatoes, creamy burrata, and fresh basil oil for a comforting yet light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) cherry tomatoes, ripe and sweet
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cups (720ml) low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 8 ounces (225g) burrata cheese
  • 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves (about 25g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Toss the cherry tomatoes, peeled garlic cloves, and chopped onion with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, a good pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Spread them out evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tomatoes are blistered and caramelized, garlic is soft, and onions are tender and lightly browned.
  4. While roasting, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat (do not let it smoke). Remove from heat, add fresh basil leaves, and let infuse for 10 minutes. Strain the oil to remove leaves and set aside.
  5. Warm the vegetable broth in a separate pot until warm but not boiling.
  6. Transfer the roasted tomatoes, garlic, and onions to a blender or use an immersion blender in the baking sheet. Add the warm vegetable broth and blend until smooth and creamy. Blend in batches if needed.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. If too thick, add a splash more broth or water.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls, add torn pieces of burrata on top, and drizzle generously with basil oil. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Do not over-roast tomatoes to avoid bitterness. Blend while warm for velvety texture. Save roasting pan drippings by adding a splash of water and scraping caramelized bits back into the soup. Basil oil should be infused gently to avoid bitterness. Burrata adds saltiness, so season gradually.
