    On a cold day, my favorite lunch to make is tomato soup with vegan grilled cheese. So warm and cozy!

    When my son was about 3, he was begging for tomato soup. Of course, we didn't have any. On a whim, I grabbed some tomato paste and vegan milk and came up with some on the fly. He loved it. So did I. Many recipes for homemade tomato soup call for fresh tomatoes, which I don't usually have on hand because we don't eat them often. But I always have a can (or six) of tomato paste in the pantry!

    We usually buy Imagine's Creamy Tomato Soup for convenience, but if we are all out, this recipe is almost just as quick and easy to make.

    Ingredients

    You just need some simple, common pantry ingredients to make this vegan creamy tomato soup. Reminder: The full, printable recipe is in the recipe card below.

    Ingredients for vegan tomato soup: Tomato paste, oat milk, and seasonings.
    • Tomato paste: One 6-ounce can.
    • Non-dairy milk: Any plain, unsweetened vegan milk will work. I usually use extra creamy oat milk but I have also tried almond, cashew, and coconut milk with this recipe with tasty results!
    • Sugar: A little sweetness adds a nice contrast to the acidic tomato. This can be left out or substitute with a little maple syrup.
    • Garlic, onion, basil, salt, and pepper. You can also add a little oregano.

    How to Make Vegan Tomato Soup

    1. Whisk all ingredients together in a medium-sized pot.
    2. On medium heat, heat until warm. This takes about 5 minutes.
    3. Enjoy warm! Topping ideas: homemade vegan croutons and cashew parmesan.

    Serve with a chopped salad, chickpea salad sandwich, or some crispy tofu.

    Storage

    Got leftovers? Store in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can also freeze this soup in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

      Mine had a strange aftertaste but I think it was from the tomato paste---do you recommend any specific tomato pastes for this recipe? I want to give it another shot since I love tomato soup!

      This was a crowd pleaser with my family. The “picky eater” of the family said “this is the best soup I’ve ever had in my life”. He wanted it for breakfast and lunch tomorrow as well. I told my hubby that I have renamed this soup Mama’s happy soup. When it’s this easy to make and it makes them all smile my heart is full. Thank you!!!!

      I only made one change for our tastes..... I added 7 cans of tomato paste instead of the 4 for 8 servings. Yummy!

      If POWWOW has an abundance of fresh tomatoes, how can we adapt this recipe to make use of those extra tomatoes?

      I've been using tomato paste for years in tomato soup. I think it's 10x more flavorful, and I make it with veg stock. Other flavors you can add are wine vinegar, sage, parsley, soy sauce or yeast extract. Re cream, people recommend coconut milk, but I didn't think they went together at all, far too overpowering. I also tried soy, which takes the tartness off the tomato, but isn't a great flavor. Will have to give some other milks a try, but nothing matches cow's milk so far.
