I love tomatoes. Any way you slice them, I love them. Raw, cooked, simmered into a marinara, sliced onto a pizza, diced into a salsa, I love them all. I especially love this recipe. Healthy and easy and creamy, this skinny tomato soup is the only tomato soup recipe you will ever need π !
Healthy Comfort Food
Who doesn’t love a good bowl of restaurant soup? I’m not sure who. We’ve all done it. It’s cold outside, you are hungry, it smells really good, so, you order the soup. For vegetarians, tomato soup is usually a safe one to order. Not too many ways they can sneak meat into tomato soup. However, there are many ways that calories, fat, sugar, and sodium can sneak into an otherwise healthy bowl of tomatoes! For example, a bowl of Panera Tomato Soup has 21g fat, 340 calories, 17 g sugar (!!!), and a whopping 840mg sodium π². Not my soup! Tomatoes + Onion + Spices + Yogurt + Milk. That’s it. Comfort food turned healthy. This skinny tomato soup is ready in under 30 minutes. Probably quicker than to make than it would take you to go through the Panera drive thru. Just sayin’.
Tara’s Tips for Perfect Skinny Tomato Soup:
- Use San Marzano tomatoes. They come in a BPA free can or you can find them in most stores in a box or even a jar. They are a game changer. Use all 28 ounces of the tomatoes + the juices.
- If you don’t have dried italian seasoning you can substitute dried thyme or basil.
- Pairings are important here. Pair this awesome soup with something awesome: Chickpea Crackers, grilled cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, Roasted Vegetable Pizza,Β Easy Vegan Cuban Sandwich,Β Air Fryer Tempeh Croutons, Β or Β Easy Homemade Croutons.
- Vegan? No problem! Use any unsweetened non-dairy yogurt and milk such as almond or coconut milk. I’ve made this soup using dairy milk and almond milk. Both equally delicious!
- Don’t blend hot soup in a blender. Be careful! It will pop the top off and squirt out the top. Either use a hand/immersion blender or wait for it to cool off.
