    Tomato soup is an absolute winter staple meal in our house. It's quick and easy to whip up, is freezer-friendly and tastes AMAZING!

    If you're after a fresh, healthy and flavour-packed soup... this is for you!

    Looking for more soup recipes? Why not try my roasted pumpkin soup, creamy (no cream!) cauliflower soup or creamy taco chicken soup.

    Jamie Oliver Recipe

    My recipe is based on the original recipe from Jamie Oliver but with a few little tweaks and changes. It's such a beautifully fresh and healthy soup... full of carrots, celery and of course, tomatoes (the perfect way to boost your veggie intake).

    Low Calorie Soup

    Just like my Mexican-style chicken soup and cauliflower soup, this tomato soup recipe is low calorie - with less than 150 calories per serve.

    But just because it's low calorie doesn't mean it's low in flavour or will leave you feeling hungry! This vegetable-packed soup is very hearty and is bursting with flavour.

    The ingredients for homemade tomato soup.

    Tinned & Fresh Tomatoes

    Just one of the things that makes this soup so great is that you can use tinned or canned diced tomatoes. This is a great option particularly when fresh tomatoes are expensive or out of season.

    In this recipe, I've used a combination of tinned and fresh tomatoes, but you can absolutely use all tinned tomatoes if you prefer.

    Budget Recipe

    Using tinned tomatoes makes this recipe such a budget-friendly one... it will literally only cost you a couple of dollars to make an entire batch of tomato soup that serves 6 people.

    Step 1 - Cook the vegetables and garlic in a frying pan until soft.

    Serving Suggestions

    This soup tastes AMAZING all on it's own, but I recommend serving it with the following: 

    • salt and pepper, to season
    • fresh basil leaves
    • buttered toast or a crusty bread roll on the side (to wipe up all those delicious bits of soup!)

    Sometimes I'll also add a dash of cream or sour cream, or even some parmesan cheese. YUM!

    Recipe Tips & FAQ

    Equipment - To make tomato soup you'll need a frying pan, stove-top and a stick blender/blender or alternatively, a Thermomix.

    Cooking the vegetables - allow the vegetables to cook until very soft. This makes it easier to puree the soup with a blender and also enhances the flavour of the vegetables.

    Storing - Tomato soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

    Freezing - This soup freezes absolutely perfectly! Freeze in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Defrost in the microwave or on the stove-top.
