Can I use regular tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes?

While cherry tomatoes offer a unique sweetness and roast quickly, you could use diced Roma or vine-ripened tomatoes, though the roasting time and flavor profile might vary slightly.

How do I make this soup even creamier?

The recipe already uses lite coconut milk for creaminess. For an even richer texture, you could add a tablespoon of cashew cream or a bit more coconut milk, adjusting the broth as needed.

Can I prepare this soup ahead of time?

Yes, this soup is excellent for meal prep. You can roast the tomatoes and garlic ahead of time, or blend the entire soup and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

What's the best way to store leftover Creamy Cherry Tomato Basil Soup?

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Is there a substitute for balsamic vinegar?

Balsamic vinegar adds a unique tang and depth to the roasted tomatoes. If you don't have it, a splash of red wine vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice could be used, but the flavor will be slightly different.
