    If you are looking for a delicious hearty vegan tomato soup you are in right place. This Tomato basil soup is creamy and loaded with the flavor of olive oil, garlic, and basils. Creamy tomato soup is not only delicious in taste but one of the easiest soups to make for a quick dinner. Plus, it's vegan.

    Vegan Tomato Soup

    Hearty Tomato Soup is all I want in winters. Piping hot soups are life-savers in fall and winter. But these soups are enjoyable in any of the seasons. Add sweet basil leaves to it. And a sprinkle of freshly crushed black pepper to it. It tastes even better. Tomato and basil flavor is one of the best combinations to add. Serve with toppings of choice and enjoy the bowl full of deliciousness without much effort and any preparation.

    This is a creamy soup but without any flour added to it. You can add corn starch to the soup to thicken the consistency. However, there are many other options to increase the creaminess of the soup.

    Tomato soup is one of the best and most popular soups across the globe. Doesn't matter if you are vegan, vegetarian, or meat-eater, this easy soup is easily customizable. Customize a few ingredients and toppings as per your diet restrictions and you are ready with a mouth-watering tomato soup.

    Do you Know? - Facts on tomato

    - Tomatoes are the most loved vegetables across the globe.

    - These are actually fruits and not vegetables since they have seeds.

    Vegan Creamy Tomato Soup

    Tomatoes are a great nutrition source and are most vastly used in any cuisine. These are the most popular vegetables across the globe.

    This Creamy tomato soup is vegan and gluten-free. This is flour-free also. You can use a few other ingredients to make it even creamier plus protein-rich by adding beans (cannellini or white beans). Here for this recipe, I have used coconut milk to give it a smoother texture. However, you can also make it simple without coconut milk also.

    Add some carrots along with the tomatoes. The soup will be creamy and smooth. If you are not vegan, then you can add fresh dairy heavy cream and a dollop of butter into the piping hot soup.

    This is a very simple soup that is easy and quick to make. It's a one-pot soup. Check out my Instant pot tomato soup recipe and roasted red pepper and tomato soup recipe.

    Vegan Tomato Soup

    Ingredients -

    Tomatoes - Ripe red plump tomatoes that are juicy and bright red in color.

    Garlic & onions - for added flavor

    Tomato paste - for intense flavor

    Basil Leaves - fresh basil is best but if not available can substitute with dried basil too

    Olive oil

    Vegetable broth

    Coconut milk (optional) - for rich creamy texture

    Salt & pepper - as per taste

    Stevia - or sugar - to balance the tart of tomatoes. Skip if that's fine.

    How to make creamy vegan tomato soup?

    Dice the tomatoes into halves. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle some olive oil over them with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper/ white pepper. Place them in a preheated oven and cook at 400 F for 20 - 25 minutes. You can also roast them in the air fryer in just 10 - 12 minutes.

    In the meanwhile, heat oil in a soup pot. Add roughly chopped onion and garlic. Saute till translucent. Add tomato paste, chopped basil leaves, a pinch of sugar, and vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil. Then add the roasted tomatoes and blend them to a smooth puree using a hand blender or immersion blender.

    Simmer for another 2 minutes and then add coconut milk and simmer for a minute. Keep stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat at desired consistency.

    Pour into the serving bowls. Garnish with some chopped basil leaves. Drizzle some olive oil with a sprinkle of black pepper and serve piping hot creamy tomato soup with some bread.

    Note - to make this recipe quicker, you can cook the tomatoes along with onion garlic and then simmer for 7 - 10 minutes (till tomatoes are cooked soft) before blending them. Rest process will be the same as mentioned above.

    Alternative method to baking -

    i. You can also grill the tomatoes under direct fire for a few minutes for charred smokey flavor.

    ii. microwave the tomatoes for 3 minutes and peel off their skin.

    Pro Tips

    Roasted tomatoes taste best in such soups. However, you can make them in a single pot by just simmering the tomatoes along with other ingredients and then blending them together.

    For a smoother texture, pass it through a sieve before adding coconut milk to it.

    If you are adding any other herbs like the sprig of thyme or rosemary, remove them before blending the mixture. Or alternatively, you can use dried herbs.

    Fresh basil leaves add more flavor to the soup. However, if not available, can substitute with dried basil leaves.

    To make this soup oil free, skip the sauteing step. Instead simmer all the ingredients in a soup pot and simmer for 8- 10 minutes and then blend to a puree. Add fresh chopped basil leaves in the end for a boost of flavor.

    Can add other thickening agents like corn starch slurry. Also, some other ingredients can be cannellini beans or white beans, black-eyed beans, silken tofu, carrots, etc. Such ingredients are rich in protein and will make the soup more filling.

    To balance the tartness of tomatoes, add a little bit of sugar to the soup. You can substitute it with healthier options like stevia, maple syrup, etc.

    How to serve?

    Serve the creamy soup with bread croutons or any toasted bread. Or make it plain as it is. Drizzle some olive oil over the soup and enjoy with garlic knots.
