What Makes This The Best Vegan Creamy Tomato Soup:

Fun fact: when I was little tomato soup was one of my favorite foods. I frequently made the canned Campbells soup and a grilled cheese. Honestly, I can still taste this meal from my childhood.

However, since going vegan I stopped eating tomato soup for awhile.I always assume it's not vegan whenever I see it. It wasn't until recently when I started developing this vegan creamy tomato soup recipe I realized how simple and delicious plant based tomato soup can be!

It took a couple rounds of developing, but I truly believe that this is the best vegan tomato soup recipe! I make it weekly (not exaggerating). This vegan soup recipe is the best, because it is: budget friendly, healthy, and only takes about 5 minutes of hands on cooking!

Recipes that check all these boxes will forever be my favorites. I love cooking about 90% of the time. Therefore when I can find healthy recipes that require little cooking, I'm game!

How To Make Healthy Recipes If You Hate Cooking:

What makes this vegan creamy tomato soup so easy? It's simple: canned goods! I know that not everyone is a fan of canned goods, and I totally get it, but when you're not in the mood to cook, they can be a lifesaver! There is definitely health benefits to choosing fresh produce over canned goods, but sometimes that option is just not feasible.

With that said, you can make this vegan tomato soup recipe as is, or you can make it with fresh tomatoes. If you hate cooking, making this recipe with canned goods (see recipe card for instructions) can be a game changer. It's the perfect easy recipe that is loaded with vegetables, and doesn't require hands on cooking.

Finding recipes like this is the best way to eat healthy if you don't like cooking. To make it with canned goods, simply follow recipe instructions. If you do go this route, make sure that you choose unsalted and BPA free canned goods.

These ingredients may be slightly more expensive. However this is crucial for your long term health!

How To Make Low-Fat Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup:

There's actually two ways to make this vegan creamy tomato soup, and both are fabulous! You can make this creamy vegan tomato soup using a low fat option, or a high fat option. Both are still healthy and delicious.

It is totally up to you which option you go with. You can use full fat coconut milk, or lite coconut milk. I usually go with lite simply because I am a volume eater, and I just find that it works better for me to eat a low fat diet.

If you're not a fan of coconut, or have a nut allergy, you can use any other plant based milks to make this soup creamy. I would recommend using a higher fat milk like soy (make sure it's unflavored) to achieve the right creaminess.

You can honestly use any plant based milk such as almond mil and it will still come out creamy and delicious. Just make sure that you are using plain almond milk and not vanilla. Like I said before, it's up to you, because that's who these recipes are made for!
