How To Make Air Fryer Tomato Soup
Prep the Vegetables: Toss the halved tomatoes, quartered onion, and peeled garlic cloves with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Air Fry the Vegetables: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes. Place the prepared vegetables in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Set cook time for 25-30 minutes or until the vegetables are roasted and slightly charred.
Blend the Soup: Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Add the granulated sugar, chopped basil, and a portion of the broth. Blend until smooth. For a chunkier soup, pulse the blender several times to reach your desired consistency.
Simmer the Soup: Pour the blended mixture into a pot. Add the remaining broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream (if using), grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serving: Serve the soup hot. If desired, garnish with additional basil, a sprinkle of Parmesan, or a drizzle of olive oil. This soup pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich.
Air Fryer Tomato Soup Recipe Tips
- Choose the Right Tomatoes: Variety Matters: Use fresh tomatoes. Roma or plum tomatoes are great for roasting as they are less watery and flavorful.
- Roasting to Perfection: Arrange the tomatoes, onions, and garlic in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even roasting.
- Enhance the Flavors: Don’t shy away from seasonings. A good balance of salt, pepper, and herbs can make a huge difference.
- Blend Smoothly: For a smoother soup, blend thoroughly.
- Simmer to Merge Flavors: Let the blended soup simmer for 8-10 minutes to let the flavors blend.
- Adjust the Thickness: Add more broth to achieve your desired consistency if the soup is too thick. If it’s too thin, let it simmer longer to reduce.
- Creamy or Dairy-Free Options: Stir in heavy cream for a richer, creamier texture. For a dairy-free version, consider coconut milk or almond milk.
- Garnish for Impact: Top with fresh herbs, croutons, a swirl of cream, or grated Parmesan for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Store and Reheat Properly: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for a longer shelf life. Reheat gently on the stove or in a microwave.

This is the best tomato soup I have ever had and it is so easy. I use Trader Joe’s heirloom tomatoes if I can and we love it so much. Be sure to add fresh basil and at the end I add additional basil and grated parmesan. With a grilled bacon and cheese sandwich it is the bomb.

This is so awesome, I’m really glad you loved, and as you can see, I love Trader Joe’s too!

This is basically how I”ve made tomato soup for years, but never thought to roast the veggies in the AF. This soup is also great served chilled in the summer, but I don’t turn my oven on then, so this is great!
