Since we are all busy and looking for delicious meals on the fly, there are days I need a simple recipe without many ingredients that satisfy my craving for savory, delicious food. And let's not forget about being healthy as well. 

As many know, I love soup regardless of the temperature outside. But there's something special about creamy soup that reminds me of fall and home comfort. 

How to Choose Tomatoes

Because this recipe requires fresh tomatoes, choosing the best tomatoes to make soup is essential. 

• Roma Tomatoes: also called Italian plum tomatoes, these tomatoes boast a tangy, well-balanced flavor. 
• Compari Tomatoes: these tomatoes are low acidity yet super sweet. 
• San Marzano Tomatoes: sweet, pulpy, low in acidity, and containing few seeds; these are said to be extraordinary for making sauces and soups. 
• Cherry Tomatoes: small in size, these bite-sized tomatoes are sweet and candylike with a crisp finish. 
• Vine Tomatoes: garden-fresh taste; sweet and juicy

Sheet Pan Tomato Soup Ingredients

This simple soup recipe requires very few ingredients and cooking equipment. What I love most about vegan sheet pan tomato soup is that all the ingredients are roasted in the oven together on one sheet pan. 

• Sweet Tomatoes of Choice: I used San Marzano tomatoes because they looked the best at the market this week.
• Garlic: I prefer using fresh garlic whenever possible.
• Shallots: Some people believe shallots are a type of onion; however, they are their own species. Shallots are mildly flavored and taste like a combination between onion and garlic. Therefore, shallots often are described as a cross between onions and garlic.
• White Onion: White onions have a strong, sharp, and not very sweet flavor.
• Unsweetened, Unflavored Plant Milk: I used oat milk because I like its creamy texture.
• Vegetable Broth: I buy organic vegetable broth in bulk at Costco because I often use it.
• Fresh Basil: Fresh basil is flavorful and fabulous blended in this sheet pan tomato soup recipe.
• Thyme: I garnished it with fresh thyme.
• Paprika: Sprinkle paprika on top of the soup for additional flavor.

Easy Sheet Pan Soup Ingredient Substitutions

• Choose any fresh and sweet tomatoes.
• Use garlic powder if you don't have fresh garlic, and sprinkle generously over the tomatoes before roasting.
• Red onions are similar to shallots.
• Yellow onion is an excellent substitute for white onion.
• Any unsweetened plant milk works well.
• If using dry herbs to replace fresh herbs in a recipe, use half the amount of dry herbs.

How to Make Sheet Pan Soup

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Wash and destem tomatoes.
