SKINNY Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
This creamy healthy tomato soup recipe is perfect for those cold winter months, plus it’s completely vegan! You’ll love this lighter tomato basil soup!
So in case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on a serious bender with soup recipes lately. Some people are soup eaters through and through, but I’ve never been a huge soup fan until the last year or so.
But I’ve realized just how simple and convenient soups are for a super quick lunch or dinner. Like seriously, there is nothing better than getting home from a long day and pulling a jar of soup out of the fridge or freezer, and just throwing it in the microwave. It’s healthy meal prepping at it’s finest!
So because of this new found OBSESSION. I have been making all kinds of soups lately — remember that White Bean, Kale & Quinoa Soup from a few weeks ago??…yeah, amazing.
My latest creation was this healthy tomato soup — and, oh my god — heaven in a bowl!
I ate the first batch within 3 days…sorry, not sorry. Not only did I have this with some chicken and veggies for a simple and easy dinner…but I mayyyy have also had it for breakfast with some eggs. After eating every last drop, I promptly made a second batch. <– Yeah, it’s THAT good!
And you ladies know how I am ALL about convenience — so obviously this healthy tomato soup recipe is done in about 40 minutes and takes minimal effort AND ingredients.
The hardest part is waiting for it to thicken up, which is literally just letting is simmer down, with of course the occasional stir. But the hard part is smelling the deliciousness and having to WAIT.
Then you just blend everything up with an immersion blender or your food processor — and violá!

So the secret ingredient that makes this creamy and healthy tomato soup — almond milk! And it also makes this recipe completely vegan, too! 😉
Then to top it all off, add some fresh chopped basil — I picked some straight from our basil plant on our balcony! I know the weather has been crazy this year, but nothing says summer is just around the corner than fresh basil.
Oh…and p.s. this soup also tastes amazing cold — so it’s perfect for as the weather gets warmer! 😉
