Step-by-Step Guide to Making Healthy Tomato Soup with Veggies
- 5 large tomatoes - chopped
- 2 medium onions - chopped
- 1 whole head of garlic
- 1 medium carrot - chopped
- 1 small chili (optional, if you prefer a spicy kick)
- 1 cm piece of ginger (optional)
- ½ cup of vegan cream (e.g., coconut cream, if you like the taste)
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika spice
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Veggies: Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Chop the onions, tomatoes, carrot.
- Cook the Base: In a large pot, fry the chopped onions with a spoon of oil or skip the oil for an oil-free version. Sauté until golden brown.
- Add Flavor: Add the chopped garlic, ginger, and chili (if using) to the pot. Fry for another minute, stirring to avoid burning.
- Incorporate Veggies: Add the chopped carrot and tomatoes. Stir and fry for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Season: Add smoked paprika and mix well. Then, add the tomato paste and enough water to cover the veggies. Stir thoroughly.
- Simmer: Lower the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and cook for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
- Allow the soup to cool slightly before blending. Transfer it in batches to a high-quality blender (a glass blender works best for breaking down fibers and creating a smooth texture).
- Blend: Let the soup cool slightly before adding nutritional yeast. To get that creamy, smooth texture, use a reliable blender to puree the soup. This step ensures a luxurious consistency you’ll love.
- Finish: Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the vegan cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pro Tip: If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and mix it back into the pot with the unblended portion. This will give you the best of both worlds—creamy and textured—while preserving some of the natural bite and richness of the veggies for extra depth of flavor!


Serving Suggestions:
Serve the soup with warm toast or a vegan cheese toastie for a comforting meal.
Sprinkle with roasted pumpkin seeds and freshly chopped coriander or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
