How to Make A Creamy Tomato Soup with Boursin
My mom calls this recipe “Delicious Soup” and my mom is always right.
This recipe is part of a collaboration with our sister blog, Whisk & Wunder, where we share many of our favorite recipes in German for our German-speaking readers.
There are some weeks where cooking feels fun and creative… and then there is recently where everything feels a little difficult. Thats when you just want something warm, reliable, and minutes to prepare.
This Creamy Tomato Soup with Boursin has become one of our go-to recipes in our meal prep series for exactly that reason. It’s made almost entirely in the oven, blended until smooth, and then portioned out for the freezer for easy cooking. No standing at the stove, no complicated steps, just a simple soup that’s there for you when you need it.
I started leaning into tomato-based soups more because I have arthritis, and tomatoes have been really helpful for me. It’s not about “health food” or rules, just paying attention to what makes my body feel a little better. Ironically, I hated tomatoes as a kid. My mom used to make me what she called “delicious soup” and only later tell me it was tomato soup because she knew I wouldn’t touch it otherwise. Somewhere along the way, the trick worked… because now I eat tomatoes a lottt.
This version gets its creaminess from herb and garlic Boursin, which melts right into the roasted tomatoes and makes the soup rich without feeling heavy. It freezes beautifully, reheats easily, and is perfect for those days when you’re not feeling well and just want something gentle and comforting.

FAQ
Can I freeze this soup?
Yes! This soup freezes extremely well. Let it cool completely, then store in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 3 months. We use mini loaf tins wrapped in foil!
How do I reheat it?
Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water or broth if needed.
Can I make this dairy-free?
The Boursin is key to the creaminess here, but you could experiment with a dairy-free herbed cream cheese alternative. Boursin does make a vegan alternative that I have made into sauces before. I personally haven’t tried it in this soup but I recommend you try! You can find it here.
Is this soup very spicy?
No. The chili powder adds warmth, not heat. Adjust to your preference or leave it out entirely.
Can I use different tomatoes?
Yes, but cherry or grape tomatoes work best because they roast down sweet and flavorful. I don’t know if there is a science behind it but the more of the skin that blisters and roasts brings out such a great flavor that I chose the grape tomatoes for this purpose.
