    Roasted Tomato Feta Soup

    October 8, 2021 by Christy Leave a Comment

    This Roasted Tomato Feta Soup is a copycat of my favorite Trader Joe's Tomato Feta Soup, which is offered in the prepared food area of their stores. I decided to bite the bullet and figure out how to recreate the store-bought version I’ve been buying for years! 

    The ingredients are simple and the method is easy to follow.

    A great option for those who don't want their soup to be too heavy on one flavor!

    A pretty simple and straightforward recipe that is perfect for using garden tomatoes! Plus, it is vegetarian and gluten-free and can be easily made at home!

    Delicious, Nutritious, Filling, and has Bold Flavor!

    Roasted tomatoes are the main ingredients in this soup that add a vibrant, rich taste!

    Tomatoes are also very nutritious and contain vitamin C, beta-carotene, potassium, and folate. Feta cheese has a wonderfully salty flavor that adds just the right amount of saltiness to the soup while balancing the sweetness of the roasted tomatoes in each bite!

    Roasting the tomatoes draws out some extra flavor that isn't generally present in canned or jarred roasted tomatoes.

    A Fresh Take on a Classic Soup Recipe!

    This recipe lends warmth to my soul and is a very satisfying meal on its own as a light dinner idea. Pairs well with french bread and brie cheese or a grilled cheese sandwich to soak up every last drop from your bowl!

    How to make Roasted Tomato Feta Soup

    1. Prepare the ingredients!

      The tomatoes are cut in half, along with a few carrots and a couple of whole unpeeled garlic cloves. Then tossed in olive oil before roasting in the oven for about 40 minutes. Once that’s done the tomatoes, carrots, and garlic have the most intense sweetness and wonderful depth of flavor for this soup!Tomatos and carrots cut for roasting in the oven on a backing sheet.

    2. Prepare a simple broth!

      A simple vegetable broth is made using your favorite store-bought vegetable broth. Sauteed onions and spices are added to bring the broth to a new bold level that is vibrant! This is done while the tomatoes, carrots, and garlic roast in the oven to perfection!Vegetable broth with sautéed onions and spices

    3. Purée the Roasted Tomatoes, Carrots and, Garlic!

      Use a blender or food processor to purée. Work in batches for even consistency to purée the tomatoes, carrots, and garlic with a healthy ladle full of broth and feta cheese. Skim the broth to collect the sauteed onions and blend to puree.A blender for puréeing roasted tomatoes, carrots and, galic to make Tomato Feta Soup!
