Quick Homemade Tomato Soup!

Thank you for stopping by little island studios, please subscribe by email to follow along in family fun!


Tomato Soup is basically tomatoes, yet I can't figure out why almost all of the recipes I look up are full of cream, butter, sugar and chicken stock.  I am not a vegetarian, however I am all for meals and days that are meat free.   This tomato soup is a basic, delicious, easy to make and perfect in all seasons!

Ingredients - 

Veggie Broth - *see notes below* - 32 oz

Whole Tomatoes - I used canned 2 - 32 oz cans (please look for zero additives)

Yellow Onion - 1 medium sized

Shallot - 1 small

Garlic - use fresh, not jarred - 4 cloves

Sea Salt - I used a pinch of Celtic Sea Salt and Atlantic Hand Harvested

Pepper - to taste - about 3 teas

Olive Oil - about 3-4 oz

Optional - 

Fresh Basil Leaves

Sour Cream Topping (obviously this negates the vegan claim)

Shredded Sharp Cheddar - grass fed to taste

Grass Fed Plain Yogurt - I use Stonyfield 

In a dutch oven pot, saute the onions, shallots, garlic and spices in the olive oil.

Add-in the whole tomato cans.

Heat gently

Add-in the veggie broth

Heat and Stir

Use a hand submersion blender.  Please note - the soup is hot...do NOT turn on the hand blender before you have put it in the soup.  If you do, hot soup will fling everywhere and it bloody well hurts.  I, of course, did not do this....I'm just letting you know, in case you didn't already know. *sigh*

If you do not have a submersion blender you can use a stand blender.

Just let the soup cool down, so you do not damage the plastic blender jar.

Now that your soup is blended and mixed.  Heat again gently and taste.  Tweak to taste.

My Notes:

I use Pacific Foods Veggie Broth. It is the only one I can find with no additives and no sugar.  If you want to make your own....obviously that would be awesome!

I use Stonyfield Plain Grass Fed yogurt - no sugar and organic.

Use veggie broth with no sugar.  Pacific Foods makes a yummy organic one with no additives and no sugar.  When you don't have time to make your own.

Look for tomatoes that have zero additives. Just organic tomatoes.
