Tomato Soup
Delicious and aromatic, this classic soup is comforting enough for family yet elegant enough for company. Use sundried tomatoes for a more intense tomato flavor.
Ingredients
- 480 ml (2 cups) vegetable stock
- 420 g (1 can) plum tomatoes
- 60 g (1 ) roma tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 5 fresh basil leaves
- 75 g (½ cup) garbanzo beans, cooked, rinsed (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon Maldon salt, optional
Directions
- Place broth, plum tomatoes, tomato, garlic, basil leaves, salt, and pepper into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.
- Blend for 5 minutes 45 seconds, or until heavy steam escapes from the vented lid. Reduce speed to Variable 3. Remove the lid plug and add the chickpeas. Blend an additional 15 seconds. Serve immediately.
Chef's Notes
Add tomato paste, or sun-dried tomatoes to this soup to add richness. Spice this soup up with chili flake. Adding beans to a recipe adds protein and fiber.

Good base recipe easily adapted
This recipe was incredibly easy to make. One of my first recipes. I had to adapt to accommodate the limited ingredients on hand. Used diced roasted tomatoes, fresh Roma, tomato paste, granulated garlic, fresh basil. Added salt and pepper to taste. Family enjoyed!

A good tomato soup base to customize to your taste
I only use a lot of fresh tomatoes (no canned) usually Roma, but I'll throw in any tomatoes we have on hand and no garbanzo beans....just some flaxseed, water, half a Vidalia onion, a carrot, basil and maybe a little thyme, oregano, a clove of garlic, salt to taste, a touch of white pepper, and about 1/4 cup of cream or half 'n half. To serve, I sprinkle a little basil and grated parmesan cheese (I sometimes pulse in a little fresh spinach right before serving)

Good base to modify, here's what I did this time
Started with the base recipe above and made these mods with some stuff I had in the kitchen:
Substituted: 1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes for 1 can plum tomatoes (no Roma as I didn't have one in the kitchen), 1 3/4 cup veggie broth for 2 cups (some liquid in tomatoes)
Added: 1 tsp garlic oil, 1 carrot, 2 stalks celery, 1/2 red onion, 1 TBSP sun-dried tomatoes, 1/2 can chickpeas
My daughter and I had it for lunch on a cold Monday afternoon between online classes, quick and easy (and at least one serving leftover for my wife to have for lunch tomorrow.)

Very bland
Way too watery and very bland. Had to add more tomatoes and a half of onion. Sprinkled some parmesan cheese also.

Great after tweaking
I skipped canned tomatoes and used only fresh ones, added one courgette, half an onion and a bit of chilli flakes. Came out very nice, spicy, creamy. I skipped beans as well and added a bit of cooked minced pork, was a good choice for a carnivore.

Tomatoe soup
Tomato soup was good. I will leave out the chick peas next time (made soup chuncky)and add a jar of roasted red peppers. Added Parmesan on top and it gave the soup a nice punch.

Bland
Did not care for it at all. Little flavor. Cooled it before pureeing.

Needs improvement
I agree, it’s very watery. I did put 3 cloves of garlic in, so it had a garlicky punch. But this recipe definitely needs tweaking. Also I didn’t achieve the colour of the soup that’s in the picture! Definitely been photoshopped!
