Creamy and velvety, this creamy tomato soup is full of delicious flavours.

Creamy Tomato Soup

Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup (Without the Cream!)

There’s something undeniably comforting about a warm bowl of tomato soup, it’s simple, nostalgic, and always hits the spot. This creamy, velvety tomato soup is no exception. It’s full of rich, hearty flavour, yet made without any dairy. Perfect for a light lunch or a quick midweek dinner!

The Inspiration Behind the Recipe

It all started when my kids discovered tinned tomato soup and immediately fell in love with it. I couldn’t blame them, it’s sweet, smooth, and satisfying. But after glancing at the label and seeing just how much added sugar was in it, I knew I wanted to create a healthier, homemade version that they’d enjoy just as much.

After a few experiments, this was the recipe that got the thumbs up from everyone. It’s now a firm family favourite, and I love knowing exactly what’s in it.

What Makes This Creamy Tomato Soup Special?

The secret to the creaminess? Cannellini beans. They blend in beautifully, giving the soup a silky texture while adding a healthy dose of low-fat, plant-based protein. No cream, no fuss, just real, wholesome ingredients.

Depending on the acidity of your tomatoes (especially if using fresh or tinned varieties with no added sugar), you might want to stir in a small pinch of sugar to balance the flavours. Taste as you go and adjust to your preference.

Ready in Just 30 Minutes

This recipe is wonderfully quick to make, taking just half an hour from start to finish. It’s ideal for those busy days when you want something nourishing without spending ages in the kitchen.

How to Serve This Cream Tomato Soup

I love serving this soup with:

  • A slice of crusty sourdough or rustic wholegrain bread
  • A swirl of olive oil or coconut yoghurt on top
  • A side of grilled “cheese” toastie for the ultimate comfort combo

Fancy a Deeper Flavour?

If you’re a tomato soup enthusiast, be sure to try my Roasted Tomato Soup recipe, it’s a little more intense, perfect for when you’ve got extra time and ripe tomatoes to use up.

I hope you enjoy this creamy tomato soup recipe as much as we do. If you do make this recipe, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
