Ingredients

👉Use fresh, canned, tetra packs or homemade tomato sauce. If you ask my opinion, I would prefer to use canned tomatoes for this recipe.👉The soup gets its creamy and thick texture from almonds. Besides being a source of vitamins and minerals, it also contains the superpowers of almonds. 👉 Pureed chipotle in adobo sauce is best, but you can substitute ancho chili or chipotle chili powder if needed.👉Onion, garlic, oregano.

How to Make Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup, step-by-step

Start by chopping the onion and garlic. Sauté them in olive oil until they’re fragrant, about 3 minutes. Next, add the tomato, water, or vegetable broth to the pot.

Add about a teaspoon (or more) of chipotle peppers before blending. Add as much or as little as you want, and let all simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, use an immersion blender to blend the mixture together until smooth. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. That’s it! This recipe is quick, easy, and oh-so-tasty.

The soup is effortless to prepare, and you can pair it with various sides, such as avocado toast, avocado tacos, grilled cheese (vegan cheese is preferred), or roasted chickpeas.

serving suggestions

If you’re a fan of vegan, spicy, creamy tomato soup, you’ll be excited to know that there are plenty of delicious toppings that can take your soup to the next level.

  • Bread. One great option is to serve your soup with a side of crusty bread. The bread’s crunchiness pairs beautifully with the soup’s smooth and creamy texture.
  • Protein. If you’re in the mood for something more substantial, consider adding a protein-rich accompaniment to your soup. Some options include tofu, chickpeas, or even vegan sausage.
  • Salad. A simple green salad with a tangy vinaigrette dressing can provide a refreshing contrast to the soup’s rich and spicy flavors. The combination of the soup and the salad will create a well-balanced and satisfying meal.
  • Heat. If you’re looking to add some heat to your soup, consider topping it with sliced jalapenos, chili flakes, or crunchy chili oil. These spicy additions will give your soup an extra kick and a burst of flavor.
  • Garnishes. Sprinkling some vegan cheese, nutritional yeast, or even a dollop of vegan sour cream on top of your soup can take it to a whole new level. These creamy and cheesy toppings will add richness and depth of flavor to your already delicious soup.
