- ๐ Vitamix Tomato Soup
We are all about comfort food, especially belly-warming soups! And we love using a blender or Vitamix to prepare them! Be sure to checkout our Potato Leek Soup and Butternut Squash Soup, which are both prepared using our beloved Vitamix.
Or if you're simply looking for more veggie-stocked soups, be sure to check our popular Cannellini Bean Soup and Chickpea Soup!
๐Why We Love this Vitamix Tomato Soup
Quick and simple- Once you've sautรฉed your veggies, all you need is a high-powered blender or Vitamix to make this tomato soup! The heat generated by the Vitamix is sufficient to cook it, thanks to the friction it produces.
Versatile- The best part about our Vitamix tomato soup is that it compliments so many other dishes. Serve this soup on its own, or with fresh bread, a side salad, or a sandwich, like a grilled cheese.
Veggie-packed! We love how this soup is loaded with some of our favorite nutrient-dense veggies, like tomatoes and carrots!
Kid-friendly- This is a great recipe for kids to help with, because all they are doing is adding ingredients to a blender and watching the magic happen as everything mixes together.
๐ Ingredients
This tomato soup requires mostly pantry staples, making it an easy last-minute meal for busy nights! You will find notes on key ingredients below. Please see the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and quantities.
- Whole peeled tomatoes- We love canned, whole tomatoes like San Marzano which are available year round. Diced, canned tomatoes will also work.
- Vegetable broth- We love Better than Bouillon for condensed stock/base. Chicken broth will also work beautifully.
- Basil- We definitely suggest fresh basil for this recipe.
- Whole milk- Or cream. Cashew cream or unsweetened coconut milk can be used as dairy-free options.
- Baking soda- This magic ingredient helps to cut the soup's acidity and to prevent the milk from curdling.
๐ฉโ๐ณ How to Make Vitamix Tomato Soup
Step 1: Cook onion and garlic.
Step 3: Blend on high for 4-5 minutes or until well-blended and steam starts to escape from lid plug.
Step 4: Add milk and blend for an additional minute. Turn off Vitamix and manually stir baking soda into the soup.
Step 5: Sprinkle soup with your favorite toppings and serve!
โ๏ธExpert Tips & Tricks
Liquid ingredients first- Add ingredients to blender in the order listed in the recipe card. Specifically, be sure to add liquid ingredients to your Vitamix first, as this helps prevent air pockets from forming around the blades and keeps the blades from stalling as contents are blended.
Blend on high- If using a Vitamix, be sure to start on low speed but quickly ramp up to high. Blending on high decreases blend time and also helps keep the motor cool. Visit the Vitamix website for more Vitamix blending tips and tricks.
Traditional blenders- While we love being able to make this soup almost entirely in our Vitamix, if you don't have a high-powered blender, simply make the soup in a regular blender, transfer to a sauce pan and simmer it on the stove for about 5-8 minutes.
Steam carrots- If your blender isn't powerful enough to break down carrots into a purรฉe, you can steam carrots ahead of time. If you don't have extra time to steam carrots, simply ditch the carrots and replace with an extra tablespoon of sugar. You'll lose the nutrients, but retain the sweetness of the tomato soup.
๐งVariations and Substitutions
Fresh tomatoes- We love the sweet flavor of whole, peeled tomatoes! If you want to make this Vitamix tomato soup with fresh tomatoes, just be sure to steam/boil the tomatoes and remove skins ahead of time.
Vegan options- Simply replace the whole milk with unsweetened coconut milk or cashew cream. And make sure that your vegetable stock/broth is vegan. Surprisingly, some aren't.
Chicken broth- Chicken broth can be used instead of vegetable broth if you are looking for a meatier flavor.
Add spice- Feel free to spice up this soup by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne.
Garnish- Jazz up your tomato soup by adding shredded parmesan, extra basil, pepitas, croutons, goldfish crackers (our kids' fave!) or oyster crackers!
๐ฅ Side Suggestions
With this tomato soup recipe, it's all about the dipping! We recommend dunking a grilled cheese sandwich, crusty bread, or your favorite crackers into this soup.
In terms of sides, we love paring this soup with a simple salad, veggie side dish, like roasted asparagus, or tasty sandwiches, like these roast beef sliders, sloppy joes, or turkey burger sliders.
๐ฆ๐ผ Tips for Picky Eaters
Kids pick a side- You can't go wrong serving this soup with a grilled cheese sandwich! Or, select simple sides like sliced cucumbers, side salads, baked potatoes, or cream cheese pasta!
Kids choose toppings- Let kids choose how to jazz up their soup. Oyster crackers, goldfish, or parmesan cheese are all great options!!
Straw bowls! Our kids love the bowls that have built-in straws. These straw bowls are cheap and provide for endless dinnertime entertainment.
๐ง Storage and Reheating
You may store this soup in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave or warm soup on the stove. ย
This soup can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.ย
โFAQ
If you'd like to thicken your soup, you can add a thickening agent, like cornstarch or flour. Don't add it directly to the soup, as it may clump. Instead,ย whisk together 1 T cornstarch and 1 T cold water in a small bowl. Then slowly pour it into the soup, stirring until thickened enough.ย
The Vitamix can be used to make soup in under 10 minutes using the friction of its blades. The device quickly heats raw ingredients and can bring soup to a temperature of 170ยฐF.
We recommend blending this Vitamix tomato soup on high for at least 5 minutes and until you see steam start to escape from the lid plug.
Yes, this soup does not contain any meat, seafood or poultry products, and is considered vegetarian.
To make our Vitamix tomato soup vegan, simply replaceย the whole milk with unsweetened coconut milk and make sure your vegetable stock/broth is vegan.
