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–easy! You might also like my Tomato Hatch Chile 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 (or homemade chicken stock) 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!
Tips and Tricks
- Can this soup be made ahead? Yes, it’s such a great soup to make ahead. Cool it down and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze this for up to 3 months.
- Can I skip the dairy in this recipe? Yes, absolutely. Leave it out OR you can add a cashew or dairy-free yogurt or sour cream. It’ll give it a creamy consistency minus the dairy.

Almost a cup of oil? Just to drizzle? Hmmmmn no thyme was mentioned in ingredients
I see thyme mentioned in the recipe, but not in the ingredients list. How much thyme? Fresh or dried? Thanks for your help
This is so delicious and comforting and I’m someone who likes a lot of flavor so I don’t think the comments saying it is bland are right. Eating it right now and dang it’s delicious.
I couldn’t leave 5 stars because the star was only letting me select 4 so I opted for no rating, but know it’s a 5 star recipe.
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.
