    easy creamy homemade tomato soup

    Easy, hot and homemade tomato soup with fresh tomatoes. It is hearty, full of flavors and made with fresh tomatoes, herbs, and spices. A perfect soup bowl to curl your fingers around on a cold day. Perfect to warm you inside out on even on a rainy day.  

    It has the right amount of tanginess and freshness of tomatoes in a bowl.  

    The best thing about this vegan tomato soup recipe is there is no cornflour, no cream, no butter or not even arrowroot. Now! If I got you interested let's see how to make this tomato soup.

    How to Make Tomato Soup

    Once you make these delicious, healthy tomato soup you will no longer rely on canned tomato soups. This 20-minute recipe is easy to cook, only request I have is  just follow the recipe notes while making the recipe.

    Ingredients you require

    Fresh: Tomatoes, Onion, Ginger Chopped, basil leaves

    Spices and Seasonings: Red Chili flakes, black pepper, salt, dried parsley

    From Pantry: Olive Oil

    Bread, crouton

    How to Make It

    homemade fresh tomato soup

    Make slits in fresh ripe tomatoes and put them in boiling water to blanch them.

    After 2 minutes transfer them in ice cold water and peel off the skin and chop the tomatoes into chunks.

    Heat some oil in a pan and add sliced onions, chopped ginger and chilli flakes.

    Fresh tomato soup recipe -1
    Saute the onions until they caramelised. Now add tomato pieces, basil leaves, salt and roughly torn bread in the pan.

    Cook covered till tomatoes are cooked for 5 minutes. Add in water and bring it to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

    Keep the heat to slow and blend the tomato soup with a hand blender in the same pot. Or let it cool and blend in regular blender jar.

    easy tomato soup recipe steps

    Simmer the tomato soup for another 2-to-3 minutes and serve hot. Drizzle  some olive oil, sprinkle parsley and black pepper and serve the creamy fresh soup with croutons.

    Recipe Notes

    • If you like intense tomato flavor you must use tomato paste in the prep. The paste gives it a beautiful red color and adds great taste of tomatoes to the soup.
    • If you want the quick tomato soup with canned tomatoes you can skip the pre-cooking step.
    • Drizzle some olive oil on the soup before serving it.

    How to make the best homemade tomato soup

    1. Cook the onion on low heat so they are soft (not browned) and ginger and chili flakes are roasted in olive oil nicely.
    2. As I have discussed before, I have not used any cornflour, cream, butter or even arrowroot. Still, this recipe makes an excellent luscious and creamy soup.
    3. The secret to make this creamy tomato soup without cream is bread. I have added a slice of bread broken down into pieces which cook along with the tomatoes and aromatics.

    Can You Make this  Soup with Canned Tomatoes?

    Yes of course! you can make this soup with canned tomatoes. Though I prefer to make it with fresh tomatoes, good quality fresh tomatoes are always not available through all seasons so you can use canned tomatoes. 

    What to Serve with Tomato Soup

    These homemade tomato soups are filling and your one-stop meal for a comfy dinner plan. You can serve this soup on its own, or serve it with crispy breadsticks, croutons, grilled cheese or simple eggs cooked as per your choice.
