Dairy Free Easy Tomato Soup

Total time35 min

Prep time10 min

Cook time25 min

Sweet onion and garlic bloom with tomato paste until deeply fragrant, then get simmered down with whole peeled tomatoes, broth, a touch of sugar, and oregano until everything melts into one rich, silky pot. An immersion blender takes it the rest of the way, whipping the soup into a completely smooth, velvety texture with no chunks in sight. Salt and pepper bring the seasoning into balance, and a shower of torn fresh basil on top adds a bright, herbal finish. Ladle it into bowls alongside crusty bread or crackers for dunking, and you've got a cozy, comforting classic ready in under 30 minutes. It's a reliable go-to for a dairy free lineup, whether you're feeding a crowd or just craving something warm.

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, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 cans (28 oz each) whole peeled tomatoes
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp granulated sugar
½ tsp dried oregano
salt and pepper, to taste
¼ 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, torn (optional)
crusty bread or crackers (optional)

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat until foamy. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5–6 minutes.
2
Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and the paste has darkened slightly, about 1–2 minutes. Watch closely so the garlic does not brown.
