You’ll find the full detailed recipe in the recipe card below! 🙂
FOR THE SOUP
- 1.5 lbs ripe tomatoes small to medium
- 1 garlic top part sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 small white onion diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 cup vegetable stock or water see notes
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 1-2 tsp sugar to counter acidity
- Fresh sweet basil chopped
TO SERVE
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Fresh basil chopped
STEPS TO MAKE THIS SOUP
ROAST THE TOMATOES AND GARLIC
- Preheat your oven to 350F/180C.
- Slice the tomatoes in half (or in quarters if using large tomatoes). Place the tomatoes on a lined baking tray (I used parchment paper).
- For the garlic, I sliced off the top part to reveal the cloves.
- Place the garlic with the tomatoes.
- Generously salt the tomatoes and garlic. Add ground pepper.
- Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil on the garlic and on the rest of the tomatoes. You can also slice the onion and place it on the tray. I prefer to sauté it in butter in the pot before mixing it with the tomatoes to blend.
- Place the tray in the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the tomatoes have caramelised and the garlic is soft.
PREPARE THE SOUP
- While the tomatoes are roasting in the oven, heat a dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the vegan butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook until it slightly charred. Turn off the heat.
- Press the garlic to remove the cloves.
- Add the onion into the blender along with the tomatoes and roasted garlic. Pour the vegetable stock or water and miso paste.
- Blend everything until smooth or depending on your desired consistency – I prefer mine with small chunks.
- You can also use an immersion blender if you have one so you can simply blend everything in the pot.
- Heat to soup at medium heat and season with salt, pepper, and sugar to taste. Mix in the chopped fresh basil.
SERVE AND ENJOY!
- Mix well. Taste the soup and adjust to your desired taste.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh basil. Enjoy while hot!

So delicious – thank you! I also did the onion in a pot rather than on the tray with tomatoes and garlic. The recipe doesn’t list the amount of vegan butter but I used about a tablespoon. Fantastic!
Oh thanks for pointing that out! haha I’ll have to edit the ingredients list. And glad you liked it ◡̈
