Caprese Tomato Soup
This roasted tomato soup is served caprese-style with burrata, balsamic reduction, and fresh basil leaves!
Remember in yesterday’s post, I mentioned that I’m a pumpkin addict? Well, I think I’m also a caprese addict too. From caprese mac and cheese to caprese quinoa salad, I cannot get enough caprese! And now, I’ve found my new love for caprese in tomato soup form.
With a batch of roasted tomatoes on a bed of onions and garlic, you can make this right in your blender (I used my Blendtec) or food processor. And you know you can’t forget about that creamy-melt-in-your-mouth burrata, sweet balsamic reduction and fresh chiffonade basil leaves. In all honesty, the soup is great and all, but really, the garnishes is what makes this soup perfection. And even though it’s super easy to make, it looks incredibly fancy and sophisticated, which is sure to impress your guests!
Caprese Tomato Soup
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes, halved
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

Do the garlic and onions go in the blender along with the tomatoes?
This soup was amazing! My entire family just ooohed and aaahed as they ate each spoonful. I did not have burrata cheese, so I substituted fresh mozzarella. We also made croutons from the leftover sourdough bread to add as an additional garnish!

I can tell this soup is going to be a great addition to my “foods made into soups” recipe collection- which my kids love to tease me about. (jalapeño popper soup, lasagna soup, enchilada soup, philly cheesesteak soup, etc.) I will most likely be forced to settle for fresh mozz instead of burrata since our town is lacking in the specialty food store department. I must have spent 2 hours yesterday hoping to trade my money for chipotle paste- for another one of your recipes-to no avail. But thank you, for the inspiring site that we all can have access to!
If fresh burratta cannot be found, what is a good substitute? Fresh mozzerella?
There really is no true substitute for burrata. Fresh mozzarella can be used though but the flavors and textures will change from the original recipe here.
Loving your recipes and blog. I thought I knew my cheeses, but evidently not so. May I ask, what is baratta. Is it a name brand or type of cheese. I have never heard of this one (and I’m old) but young at heart and love love love food and to prepare it and share it with those I love! Thank you, keep up the passionate, wonderful work!! Love & Light to you this season.
Thank you, Kat! Burrata is a type of cheese – a fresh Italian cheese, made from mozzarella and cream. It’s one of my favorite cheeses yet!
This is a brilliant idea. Brilliant! Definitely have to try this.
My little soup obsessed heart is just swimming with love for this!!! xo
