Sheet Pan Tomato Soup is an easy solution to a delicious soup. It’s creamy, delicious and super easy to make. Use up a bunch of summer tomatoes for the best tomato soup. And of course, serve it with a buttery, crispy, cheesy grilled cheese.

I love roasted tomato soup. Truly nothing better! This soup is delightful because everything is put on a baking sheet and roasted until the tomatoes are softened, the garlic is caramelized and the onion is cooked. Then everything is blended in a blender and served with tomato soup.

Sheet Pan Soup
I’m a big proponent of sheet pan soups. I just love that everything is roasted and cooked together and then blended up. It makes it easy and delicious. This Acorn Squash Soup that I posted last year, was my first foray into the genre of sheet pan soups and let tell you, it sold me!

How to Make this Sheet Pan Tomato Soup
- Wrap the garlic in foil and place it on a baking sheet. Add the tomatoes to the baking sheet, along with the cut up onion and thyme.
- Drizzle the tomatoes and onion with about 1/2 cup of olive oil (you’ll need a healthy amount) and sprinkle on salt and freshly cracked pepper.
- Transfer to the oven to bake for about 30 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened completely, the onion has softened. Transfer everything to a blender.
- Carefully unwrap the foil that is enclosing the garlic and squeeze out the gloves into the blender. Add a few pinches of salt and a scoop of crème fraîche or yogurt. The dairy is optional!
- Pour in the vegetable broth and blend until very smooth, being sure to let any steam release. Give it a taste and adjust the salt according to your liking.
- Divide the soup amongst bowls and drizzle with a dollop of crème fraîche and minced fresh basil.
- Serve with a grilled cheese for more joy!

This was my first time making tomato soup. I was a little nervous. This was simply DELISH! So flavorful. Cherry tomatoes are the right call. They add a crisp flavor. Surprisingly creamy. My only advice is if you are making this recipe for a party of more than 2, double the recipe!
wonderful to hear! 🙂
This was good! A little bland though. Will use more herbs or spices next time. But it was a cozy and warm winter soup 🙂
This was delicious! My entire family loved it.
