Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Super Easy: Minimal chopping required! Add everything to a sheet pan and let the oven do the work!
- Packed With Flavor: Roasting the tomatoes and veggies adds a ton of flavor to this soup. You just need a handful of high-quality fresh ingredients to make this restaurant-quality dish.
- Easy Clean-Up: The best part is that everything roasts on a sheet pan means there are minimal dishes, making for an easy clean-up!
Ingredients
- Tomatoes: Fresh organic 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: I love garlic, but you can reduce the amount or omit it altogether if it's not your thing. I will say, if you are not usually a fan of garlic, try adding just 1 garlic clove as roasted garlic adds a nice sweetness and depth of flavor and tastes quite different than raw garlic.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: You can also use avocado oil if you'd like.
- Sea Salt & Black Pepper: Look for a good quality Himalayan sea salt or Celtic salt.
- 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: I love using my homemade Rotisserie Chicken Bone Broth, but you can also use a good quality store-bought chicken stock.

Substitutions And Variations
- 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 like! 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.
How To Make Vitamix Tomato Soup
This is an overview with step-by-step photos. Full ingredients & instructions are in the recipe card below.
Step 1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. If using larger whole tomatoes, chop them into quarters and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 2. 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.
Step 3. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes or until the tomatoes, onion, and carrots are soft.
Step 4. Add everything from the baking sheet to your Vitamix container.
Step 5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more salt and pepper according to your taste).
Expert Tips And Notes
- 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.

Recipe FAQ
You'll want to choose fresh tomatoes that are not overly mushy. Ripe tomatoes that have a rich, sweet, flavor like Roma tomatoes, San Marzano tomatoes, Cherry tomatoes, Plum tomatoes, or Heirloom tomatoes are some of my favorites. If you have a garden, this soup is perfect for the tail end of tomato season when your garden is likely overflowing with tomatoes.
No, you don't need a Vitamix blender. You can use any high-speed blender, regular blender, food processor, or immersion blender.
Yes, you can use canned tomatoes. Canned tomatoes are a convenient and reliable option, especially when fresh, ripe tomatoes are out of season.
Fresh basil leaves, a dollop of sour cream or creme fraiche, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese are all great choices.
