Ingredients to make the creamy vegan tomato soup

👉You can make this delicious tomato cream recipe using fresh, canned, tetra pack, or homemade tomato sauce. The only difference is the cooking time, which is a bit longer when using fresh tomatoes. If you ask my opinion, I prefer using 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.

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 put together, and you can pair it with various sides like avocado toast, avocado tacos, grilled cheese (vegan cheese preferred), or roasted chickpeas.

tips for making the best vegan tomato soup

Every time I open a can of smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, I  blend the peppers and sauce together into a rich, spicy paste. I store this  in a glass container, n the fridge.

But that's just the beginning! 

This homemade chipotle paste is a culinary multitasker. Use it to elevate your salad dressings to zesty new heights, stir it into sauces for an unexpected kick, mix it into soups for added depth, or even blend it into mayo for a smoky, spicy twist. It's the little secret that makes a big difference in the kitchen!

How to store the vegan tomato soup

This creamy vegan tomato soup will last up to 5 days in the fridge in a tightly closed container. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop.

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 crunchiness of the bread pairs beautifully with the smooth and creamy texture of the soup. You can choose a variety of bread, such as baguette, sourdough, or even garlic bread, depending on your preference. Simply toast or warm the bread before serving; you’ll have the perfect companion for your spicy, creamy tomato soup.

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 rich and spicy flavors of the soup. 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 some sliced jalapenos, chili flakes or crunchy chili oil. These spicy additions will give your soup an extra kick and add 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.
