Creamy Homemade Tomato Soup

To me, a creamy dreamy homemade Tomato Soup is quite possibly one of the easiest and most delicious simple vegan soup recipes! It is easy to make with healthy ingredients and perfect if you want a quick appetizer or side for lunch or dinner!

Best Vegan Soup Recipe

Anyway, today’s recipe is truly the best vegan tomato soup I’ve ever had! Fresh garlic and onions are roasted in the pan to bring out their natural flavors before cooked with organic tomatoes. Finally, everything is blended to a creamy soup and topped with coconut yogurt, crispy bread, vegan parmesan, and basil. How does this sound? I‘m very sure that once you tried it, you’ll never buy canned soup again!

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I often serve this creamy tomato soup with a tasty Vegan Grilled Cheese Sandwich on the side for dipping. Honestly, I totally love the combination of tomatoes, cheese, and crispy bread because it’s like pizza! But there are so many crunchy snacks which are perfect to serve with the soup so I‘ll tag my favorite recipes at the end of this blog post. Anyway, if you prefer to keep it simple, just top with toast or Croutons and fresh herbs!

Quick & Easy Vegan Tomato Soup

Making homemade tomato soup from scratch is really super easy! It requires only a few simple ingredients and comes together in only 5 minutes! Just roast onion and garlic, then let it cook for 10 minutes while you can do anything else before enjoying your perfect quick and easy vegan weeknight meal!

Fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes?

You can use both options. Either canned tomatoes but also fresh garden tomatoes will work! Just make sure to use ripe and red tomatoes as they have the best flavor. Anyway, keep in mind that sometimes canned ones can be even better when tomatoes are not in season where you live. I recommend using high quality organic Italian tomatoes for the best taste!

How to peel fresh tomatoes

When making this soup with fresh tomatoes (rather than canned), you want to use peeled tomatoes because it gives a smoother texture and a sweeter taste. The easiest method is to cut a shallow X on the bottom of each tomato.

Then place the tomatoes in a large pot of boiling water for one minute. Remove the tomatoes and transfer to a bowl of cold ice water for another minute. Now you can easily peel back the skin with a knife or your fingers.

How to make Tomato Soup from scratch

If using fresh tomatoes start to peel and chop them. Then heat a skillet or pan with a little olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent and slightly golden. Add the chopped tomatoes and broth. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes are soft.

Once Tomatoes are soft enough to blend, add coconut milk and seasonings like salt, black pepper or smoked paprika to taste. Then transfer to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have a blender you can also use a stick immersion hand blender but please be careful not to create a mess! Serve your cozy soup in bowls, sprinkle with vegan parmesan or other toppings you like. Garnish with a drizzle of coconut yogurt or non-dairy cream and fresh basil leaves!

Creamy Tomato Soup with Coconut milk

Traditional tomato soup recipes often contain heavy cream but I used coconut milk because it’s a great dairy-free alternative and you don’t actually taste it! Anyway, if you don’t have coconut milk or cream, soy milk or almond milk will work, too.

This Tomato Soup Recipe is

• Vegan (egg-free, dairy-free)
• Gluten-Free
• Requires less ingredients
• Healthy
• Flavorful
• Hearty
• Creamy
• Comforting
• Easy to make
• So delicious!

How to store and freeze Tomato Soup

You can store this tomato soup covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for a couple of months in an airtight container. It reheats very well on the stove or in a microwave but it is also perfect to serve cold. Did you ever try Gazpacho? Well, this is a very popular cold tomato soup dish in Spain and it’s the perfect appetizer in summer!

What to eat with Tomato Soup

As mentioned before a vegan grilled cheese sandwich is my favorite side dish to a tomato soup. But I also like these homemade snacks:

• Aloo Paratha (Stuffed Flatbread)
• Scallion Pancakes
• Turkish Borek
• Homemade Tortillas
• Burrito Samosas
• Crunchwrap Supreme
