    This beautifully creamy smoky vegan tomato soup will warm your cold winter nights. Chipotle peppers add just the right amount of spiciness with a hint of smokiness, and the addition of vegan crema cuts through the acidity of the tomatoes creating a homemade soup that is rich, thick, and delicious.

    Why This Recipe Works

    This delicious vegan tomato soup can be made in less than 30 minutes thanks to the addition of the Primal Kitchen Roasted Garlic Marinara Sauce. It is a perfect option for a quick dinner served with vegan grilled cheese or butter-fried croutons!! It is also easy to make, spicy, creamy, vegan, and refined sugar-free.

    A Childhood Favorite

    I actually hated tomato soup growing up. My mom got into a health kick for a while there and would give us a lot of tomato soup. Ironically, the only way I would eat it was with cheese in it. I grew up in Mexico, where tomato soup is not served with grilled cheese, so when I came to the US to go to culinary school and discovered that amazing pairing I was blown away. I make this soup for my kids now and they love it, and I definitely serve it with grilled cheese!!

    Ingredients

    ingredients for tomato soup olive oil, cilantro, bell pepper, onion, butter, diced tomatoes, chipotle, almond crema, sourdough bread

    Onion: Use yellow or white onion thinly sliced

    Red Bell Pepper: Use red or orange bell peppers. The orange pepper will turn the soup a deep orange color. You do not need to roast them beforehand.

    Veg Broth: Any vegetable broth will work with this recipe.

    Roasted Tomatoes: Use canned roasted diced tomatoes to make this recipe in less than 30 minutes. If you love roasted your own tomatoes, you can toast 2 large Roma tomatoes

    Primal Kitchen Roasted Garlic Marinara Sauce: This delectable sauce is made with avocado oil, without artificial ingredients, or added sugars. It is bursting with a hearty, savory flavor! It is paleo certified, whole 30 approved, vegan, and gluten-free. If you are interested in trying it, use the code DORAPRIMAL at checkout for a 10% discount.

    Almond crema: I make my own almond crema, but you can also use cashew cream.

    Expert Tips and Tricks

    Use high-quality oil, like this Primal Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil, to sauté your onion. Caramelizing or browning the onions slightly will give the soup a deep savory flavor.

    Instructions

    • Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Stir in onions and cook until they begin to brown and caramelize, about 6 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and cook until they have softened, 3 minutes.

    • Pour in the roasted diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Pour in the roasted garlic marinara sauce and simmer for 3 minutes.
    • Pour in the vegetable broth and bring everything to a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Notes

    • If you want the soup to be spicier add more chipotle peppers in adobo. You can store the soup in the fridge for up to 3 days or 6 months in the freezer.
    • Use canned roasted diced tomatoes to make this recipe in less than 30 minutes. If you love roasted your own tomatoes, you can toast 2 large Roma tomatoes.
