This Crockpot Tomato Soup is vegan, gluten-free, and packed with flavor. Tomatoes, coconut milk, seasonings, and more are cooked in the crockpot and then blended until creamy.
Ingredients
- Yellow Onion, Carrot, and Celery – a “mirepoix” of veggies which adds so much flavor to soup.
- Red Bell Pepper – adds an earthy sweetness.
- Minced Garlic – gives the soup a kick of nutty flavor.
- Tomatoes – use canned whole, peeled tomatoes. Don’t drain the can. The extra liquid acts as part of the broth!
- Tomato Juice and Coconut Milk – a creamy base for the soup. I use lite coconut milk to keep this vegan but you can also use 1 pint of half-and-half if preferred.
- Unsalted Butter – use vegan butter if you’re keeping this vegan but you can absolutely use “regular” butter if preferred.
- Soy Sauce – gives the soup a salty tang.
- Brown Sugar and Maple Syrup – adds sweetness to cut the acidity from the tomato.
- Dried Basil, Italian Seasoning, Salt, and Pepper – a simple blend of seasonings that takes this soup to another level of flavor.
- Nutritional Yeast – adds a nutty, almost cheesy flavor. If you’re not making vegan soup, you can use finely grated parmesan cheese instead.
How to make
- Grease a crockpot with cooking spray then add in onion, carrots, celery, bell pepper, garlic, tomatoes, tomato juice, butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, maple syrup, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours then stir in coconut milk and nutritional yeast.
- Working in batches, use a high-powered blender to blend the soup until smooth then serve and enjoy!
How do you tone down the acidity in tomato soup?
The best way to balance out the acidity of tomatoes is to add a bit of sugar to the soup…in this case, brown sugar and maple syrup!
It also helps to add something something creamy like the coconut milk or half-and-half. Not only does this create a delicious creamy texture but it also adds so much to the overall flavor of the soup!
