Paleo Blender Tomato Soup

Total time30 min

Prep time10 min

Cook time20 min

Sweet onion cooked down until soft and golden, smashed garlic, and a touch of red pepper flake build the base of this soup before tomato paste gets stirred in and cooked until deeply brick-red and fragrant. Whole peeled tomatoes and their juices go in next along with chicken broth, simmered until everything breaks down into a rich, concentrated soup. A careful blend brings it to silky, spoonable smoothness — no chunks, just pure roasted-tomato flavor in every bowl. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh basil, it's warm, comforting, and packed with real, whole-food ingredients that fit naturally into a Paleo kitchen. Skip the crackers and ladle it into a mug for an easy anytime lunch, or serve it alongside a simple salad for something more filling. Either way, this one's a keeper for your Paleo soup rotation.

Ingredients

4 servings

2 tbsp unsalted butter
Monty's Dairy Free Plant-Based Butter Original
See all
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
½ tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 cans (28 oz each) whole peeled tomatoes, with juices
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Coconut sugar has a mild caramel flavor, and baked goods come out a little darker and slightly less sweet.
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
⅓ cup heavy cream
Chef's tip
Use unsweetened dairy-free heavy cream in cooked sauces, soups, and ganache. For whipped uses, choose a product labeled whippable.

For serving

fresh basil leaves, for serving (optional)
crusty bread or crackers, for serving (optional)
