Ingredients
Tomatoes – For this soup recipe I used cherry tomatoes because they are small, sweet, and little juicy bursts of flavor that add a pop of colour to any dish but add the beautiful tomato flavor you love to this hearty tomato soup.

Chicken – I use lean chicken breasts for this recipe that are lightly seasoned and pan-fried. They are then blended with the roasted veggies and a few other simple ingredients to make your creamy, tomato soup that has “hidden” protein.
How to Make Chicken Tomato Soup
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
- 2. To a large baking sheet (line with parchment paper if desired) add the cherry tomatoes, large tomatoes, quartered yellow onion, halved shallots and halved head of garlic.
- 3. Drizzle the olive oil, salt, pepper, chili flakes, onion powder and garlic powder over everything on the sheet pan and gently toss to coat everything on the pan. Roast for 30-40 minutes, until everything is tender and starting to turn golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- 4. While the tomatoes are roasting, prepare the chicken. Season the chicken breasts well with salt and pepper on both sides. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to an oven-safe frying pan and heat oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and turn the heat down to medium-low, cook the chicken breasts for 3 minutes, flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and place the chicken in the oven (while the tomatoes are cooking) for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through to 165F. Let the chicken breasts rest on a plate until cool enough to handle.
- 5. Once the tomatoes have cooled slightly and the garlic is cool enough to touch, begin removing each garlic clove from the bulb and place on the sheet pan with the tomatoes.
- 6. Into a blender add the 1/2 cup half and half cream, 1/2 cup Boursin cheese, 1/2 cup chicken broth, the garlic cloves (removed from the bulb) along with everything else on the sheet pan, both of the chicken breasts (chopped) and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute in a high speed blender until everything is combined.
- 7. Serve the soup in bowls with a drizzle of olive oil, spoonful of boursin cheese and minced chives.
Tips and Tricks
- Roast for flavor: Don’t rush the roasting step! That golden, slightly charred edge gives your soup deep, caramelized flavor.
- Keep the garlic skins on while roasting: This helps them steam inside their shells and turn buttery instead of burning.
- Adjust the creaminess: For a lighter soup, swap the half-and-half for milk, for extra richness, use full cream or a touch more Boursin.

How to Store Leftovers
Soup is a great meal to meal prep because it’s so good leftover. Store it in an airtight container for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it. Once cooled, put it in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Common Questions
You can swap it for cream cheese, goat cheese, or even a soft herb cheese spread for a similar creamy texture.
You can use a regular blender or immersion blender. Just blend in batches and strain if you want a super smooth texture.
Yes! You can swap the chicken out completely and swap the broth for veggie broth. The soup will have a different consistency and less protein though.
It pairs perfectly with crusty bread, a grilled cheese sandwich, or a fresh green salad.

Made this tonight and it genuinely hit https://thespikegameapk.com/the spike game — way easier than I expected, and roasting the veggies first really does bring out the flavor. The chicken blends in so smoothly you barely notice it’s there. It’s an easy keeper, and honestly it’s earned a permanent spot in my rotation right alongside my tarp tools. Definitely making it again.
I really enjoyed how you turned such a simple Chicken Tomato Soup recipe into something that feels both healthy and approachable! Roasting the vegetables before blending them sounds like it adds so much depth of flavor. It also made me curious about how this technique compares with making the soup entirely on the stovetop. Do you think roasting always creates a richer taste, or are there situations where fresh ingredients work better? Looking forward to reading more.

I never thought to roast the veggies and chicken separately before blending them—such a smart way to deepen the flavor. That little tip made the soup so rich and satisfying, especially with a slice of crusty bread on the side. Just tried it last night and already bookmarked moviewordle for later!
