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!!

Onion: Use yellow or white onion thinly sliced
