Ingredients To Make Creamy Tomato and Carrot Soup
| Tomatoes | We used Beefsteak tomatoes. The color is vibrant red and really beautiful. |
| Carrots | You will need four large carrots, washed, peeled, and sliced in half for quicker cooking. |
| Potato | I like using Yukon gold potatoes because they tend to be creamier. You only need one that is washed and peeled. |
| Ginger | Will add spice and a nice earthy flavor. |
| Onion | Will add sweetness to the soup. |
| Garlic | Make sure to leave the skin on while roasting—this will prevent them from burning. |
| Vegetable Broth | This will help to add flavor and emulsify all of the roasted ingredients. |
| Other Essential Ingredients | Kosher salt, coarse black pepper, and extra virgin olive oil. |

How To Make Carrot Tomato Soup:
***For complete recipe instructions, see the recipe card below.
- Heat vegetable broth in a small saucepan and set aside.
- Toss all vegetables and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Ensure everything is well-coated.
- Roast in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 35-45 minutes. You’ll know the vegetables are done when they’re brown and crispy, and the carrots are fork-tender.
- Transfer roasted vegetables and ginger to a high-speed blender.
- Add hot vegetable broth and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley, sliced jalapenos, cashew cream, or yogurt (all optional).
Tips For Roasting Vegetables
Leave the veggies whole: because we are roasting the vegetables at a high-temperature, keep the tomatoes whole because they will not survive in the oven —they will burn! And you don’t want that. The other veggies will hold up nicely.
Use plenty of fat: when drizzling olive oil over the vegetables, use your hands to coat each ingredient. Any spaces left without grease will dry out vs caramelize.
Skip the parchment paper: this applies to those who have a nonstick baking sheet. Skipping the sheet will help brown the bottom of the vegetables better. If you do not have a nonstick baking sheet, that’s ok, make sure to use parchment paper and not foil. Potatoes stick to foil really badly.
Carrot and Tomato Soup Recipe Variations:
- Add cooked chicken, firm tofu, tempeh, or even chickpeas to this soup. I would add the protein after the soup has been purred.
- If you want an anti-inflammatory boost, add a tbsp or so of freshly grated turmeric right before the blender ( I wouldn’t add dried turmeric).
- Add fresh lemon juice. This adds a fresh flare and zing to the soup.
Recipe FAQs:
Can we eat tomato and carrot together?
It may not seem like a natural combination, but it is delicious! The flavors complement each other and create a warm and comforting bowl of soup.
What can I add to tomato soup for flavor?
My best tip for adding flavor to this soup is to roast the vegetables before adding them to the soup. This extra step enhances the overall flavor, adding depth and richness that cannot be achieved any other way.
Read the recipe from start to finish. You will better understand the flow of the recipe and identify any unfamiliar words or methods.
Shop for the ingredients beforehand. When you shop ahead, you are less likely to swap out ingredients for what you don’t have, thus creating a complete recipe fail.
