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!

I love anything caprese, I need this soup in my life!
As a newly found BASIL addict, this is right up my alley! And I could just about drink balsamic vinegar! Haha! Love the this little twist on the classic tomato soup!
There is definitely nothing wrong with being a caprese addict. This soup looks like the perfect late summer/early fall soup!
