🥣What is Vegan Gluten Free Tomato Soup?

This type of homemade tomato soup is free from any animal products and gluten containing products.

It is all natural using easy fresh and pantry ingredients with the main ingredient being fresh tomatoes.

😋Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Chop and drop - simply roughly chop everything and drop it into a pot
  • 15 minutes - cooks quick and easy to blend
  • Tastes luscious, with no added creams.
  • Great for big batch cooking
  • Special diet-friendly - suitable for a gluten-free diet and is a nut & soy-free too. 

🍅Ingredients

Notes on some of the ingredients, the full list of ingredients and their measurements can be found in the recipe card below.

Tomatoes - use fresh ripe tomatoes that are in season. Great options are Roma or vine-ripened tomatoes. No need to peel or deseed tomato, use whole. If you prefer, you can use organic whole canned tomatoes instead. 

Fennel - use fresh fennel which gives this soup a unique sweet flavour

Coconut sugar (affiliate link) - this helps to bring out the sweetness in the tomatoes. Only a small spoonful is needed. 

Black pepper - choose a really good quality black pepper which you can grind yourself, this will give this soup a really nice kick. 

Gluten free vegetable stock - it’s important to use really good vegetable stock as this is the supporting flavor to the tomatoes. I love using the Massel brand (affiliate link), not only does it taste fab, it’s vegan too! No salt is needed when using stock.

🍅How to Make Gluten Free Tomato Soup

Step 1 - In a tall pot, heat up a couple of tablespoons of veggie stock on medium-high heat, sweat until translucent. 

Step 2 - Stir through tomato and garlic, pepper, coconut sugar. Cover pot and cook for approx. 5 minutes until everything has softened. 

Step 3 - Stir through vegetable stock, cover pot and cook for approx. 10-15 minutes.

Step 4 - Turn off heat and stir through lemon juice. Use an immersion blender to blend contents and create a smooth soup. Serve warm topped with optional green peppercorns (the pepperiness of these help to lift flavors further)

🍅Variations

For a creamier version - stir through some coconut cream at the end or add cauliflower florets when adding tomato. N.B., adding cauliflower will thicken the soup, you may need to adjust the amount of vegetable stock to bring it to a consistency that you like.

Don’t like fennel - replace it with celery instead.

Add your favourite fresh herbs e.g., basil. N.B., this will change the flavor of the soup.

🧑‍🍳Pro Tips

Cooking time - as long as all the ingredients have completely softened and are starting to fall apart, this soup can be blended.

The longer this soup is blended the smoother it will be, if you’d like it chunkier, blend in small bursts, stir and see if you’d like to blend further.

If you don’t have an immersion blender (affiliate link), a regular blender or food processor can be used.

Drizzling EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) on top of this tomato soup adds a luxurious velvety texture. 

Adding something salty as a garnish really complements flavours. I love adding either pickled green peppercorns or capers (affiliate links). Let me know what you’d add in the comments.

🥄Serving Suggestions

Enjoy with some freshly made bread such as an easy Aussie classic of damper, or some homemade vegan dinner rolls.

You can also dunk a vegan cheese toastie into this tomato soup.

Or try topping with with roasted chickpeas or stirring through some baby spinach leaves for extra fibre.
