Introduction

This Viral Tomato Soup Recipe was the tastiest soup recipe I have ever made.

For real.

This recipe uses a limited number of ingredients, and you have 100% control over what is in it. There are so many soup companies that are making “homemade” style soups that contain ingredients that are not in my allergy-friendly guidelines.

If you have a food allergy or limitations, you can change any of the ingredients in this recipe.

Personally, I have a dairy limitation and am also gluten free. Some tomato soup contains gluten and buying it can get expensive. The last time it was purchased, a can of Gluten Free Tomato Soup was $1.76.

Stem or no stem?

When watching the Viral Tomato Soup video of this soup recipe, one noticed how each and every video showcases the same thing… stems on the tomatoes. The creators of the videos lay the tomatoes connected to the vines of the plant and lay them on the baking sheet, cooking them in their entirety. It is stunning, really, to see the result when the tomatoes are baked and beautiful, split open and showcasing their juices mingling with the cream cheese.

However, in doing so, the result is an anger fueled picking through the tomatoes removing the tiny little stems that are attached to the tomatoes.

The video doesn’t show this result. There is no woman standing at the countertop for twenty minutes picking, picking, sorting, picking, removing the offending pieces from the juices of the perfectly cooked tomatoes. Keeping them from the soup. The resulted soup is anger-fueled but free of any offending stem pieces.

If you decide to make this recipe, please heed my warning and REMOVE the tomatoes from the stem BEFORE you bake the tomatoes or you will be like me, at the countertop for a ridiculous amount of time, needlessly removing the offending stems from the boiling hot tomatoes and juices in the rimmed baking dish.

Even when they were all thought to be removed, a strainer was used and still removed more from the soup. The Viral Tomato Soup was strained twice before transferred back to the soup pot to be simmered before eaten.

VIRAL Tomato Soup Recipe

Viral Tomato Soup Ingredients

48 oz Sugar Bomb Tomatoes
4 Tbsp Oil
2 Dairy Free Cream Cheese
2 Garlic Heads
2 Onion
Salt
Pepper

Viral Tomato Soup Directions

Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray and then set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a sink colander, wash the tomatoes and then lay them on the prepared rimmed baking sheet. At this point, make sure to remove the tomatoes from the stems if you do not want to remove them AFTER the entire pan is roasted. If you wait, you will be removing individual tiny little stems from the juices. It ends in agony, do it beforehand and do not listen to the social media influencers that showcase their stunning videos with the stems. Be smart. Don’t be like Monica. Remove them and stay sane.

Cut the top off a head of garlic and then add it to the rimmed baking sheet, nestled amongst the tomatoes. You will not have to remove the garlic from their skin until after, trust me, roasted garlic this way with a drizzle of oil on top is simply divine.

Cut an onion and remove the skin, and then slice it, laying the slices on the prepared baking sheet.

Add 2 package Dairy Free Cream Cheese on the baking sheet. You can also choose to make this regular without the Dairy Free cream cheese. However, there are now Dairy Free Cream Cheese varieties available at most grocery stores. This one is available from ALDI and tastes very much like original cream cheese.

Drizzle 4 Tablespoons oil over the food on the baking sheet.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the tomatoes and ingredients on the baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and then cook the tomatoes until they are burst open, and the onion is carnalized. This could be anywhere between 30-60 minutes or more. Make sure to check on it often.

Remove the tomatoes from the stems if not done so already and then add them to the 6-Quart pot.

Add the onion to the pot, then use a paper towel to squeeze the garlic from the head and add them to the pot.

Use a spatula to scrape the liquid from the baking sheet into the pot, making sure to add all of the juices from the burst tomatoes and cream cheese sauce.

Use an emersion blender to blend the ingredients in the pot until smooth.

Place a large bowl under a mesh strainer and then pour the contents of the pot through the strainer, removing any large pieces.

Transfer the ingredients from the bowl back into the 6-Quart pot.

Use an emersion blender to blend the soup after any large pieces are removed again.

Place the pot onto the stove and heat until just boiling, stirring often.

Reduce the Viral Tomato Soup to a simmer and cook for 5 more minutes.

Serve and enjoy this Viral Tomato Soup.
