Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 4 medium tomatoes, quartered, 2 carrots peeled and chopped, and 1 onion chopped on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp sea salt. Roast for 25 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Transfer roasted vegetables to a blender. Add 2 tbsp tomato paste, 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Blend until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Return mixture to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Roasted Tomato and Root Vegetable Soup take to make?

Total time is about 50 minutes (15 min prep + 35 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Roasted Tomato and Root Vegetable Soup?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep tomatoes from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Roasted Tomato and Root Vegetable Soup?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Roasted Tomato and Root Vegetable Soup for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

What goes well with Roasted Tomato and Root Vegetable Soup?

American whole30 like this pair well with a compliant starch (roasted sweet potato, cauliflower rice, or plantains), a crisp salad dressed with olive oil and lemon, and sliced fruit. Skip grains, legumes, dairy and added sugar — none of them are Whole30-compliant. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.
