Cream of Tomato Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Whole30-friendly Cream of Tomato Soup is a cinch to make with pantry staples!

Super Cavemom Sarah Fragoso of Everyday Paleo recently posted a recipe for Creamy Tomato Soup. I made some tonight and it’s super easy, hearty, and kid-friendly. My older son LOVED it and noisily slurped down two bowls. He was excited that I made it “for real” and didn’t pour it out of a box. I modified Sarah’s recipe to fit what I had in my pantry and fridge and I added some chicken broth to thin it out.

Time to make Cream of Tomato Soup!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4 leeks, white part only, thinly sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (28-ounce) can Muir Glen Organic Fire Roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

I can’t get enough of Aroy-D coconut milk – it’s super creamy! I’m also a big fan of fire-roasted canned tomatoes because they add a subtle smoky flavor to whatever you use them in.

Equipment:

  • All of my recommended kitchen tools are listed here.

Method:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, swirl in the coconut oil and sauté the leeks until softened.

Next, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds,  or until fragrant.

Dump the whole can of tomatoes, juice and all, into a high powered blender (I love my Vitamix blender) and blitz on high until it smooth. Pour half of the pureed tomatoes into a medium saucepan and add  the softened aromatics to the remaining tomato puree in the Vitamix.

Next, blend the tomato puree and aromatics on high until the mixture is smooth. Pour the contents of the blender into the saucepan, followed by the chicken broth and coconut milk. Crank the heat up to medium high and bring the mixture to a boil. Then, decrease the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
