Equipment

1 stockpot
1 Food Processor optional

Ingredients

1 can of tomatoes
4 tomatoes
125 ml of vegan Greek yoghurt
1 tsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of basil
1 tsp of parsley
2 tbsp of paprika
1 pepper
1 tsp of salt optional

Instructions

Wash the tomatoes and pepper.
Chop the tomatoes and pepper into small pieces. For the best results, use a food processor.
Add the olive oil to the stockpot (you only need to use a small amount to prevent the soup from sticking to the pot). The stockpot should be on a high heat until the oil bubbles.
When this bubbling happens, add the tomato and pepper pieces to the stockpot. Keep the heat high for 2 minutes.
Then place the stock pot on a low heat. Stir with a spatula intermittently.
After 10 minutes, next add the can of tomatoes to the stockpot. Make sure it is stirred in.
After another 10 minutes, add the vegan Greek yoghurt. Ensure the yoghurt is stirred thoroughly into the rest of the soup.
After 5 minutes, add the basil, paprika, parsley and salt (optional).
Serve and enjoy! 😊

Tips and Tricks

Use any brand of canned tomatoes that you want as long as it is gluten-free!
Feel free to substitute out any herbs that you don’t like/ don’t have to hand. I like basil and parsley, and know that they are some of the herbs that are traditionally paired with tomato soup.
Again, the same goes for the spice ingredient, paprika. I think that it works well in tomato soup and gives the soup even more warmth and a bit of a kick. I also think that the vibrant red colour of the paprika helps to make the soup more visually appealing too! However, there are other spices to use if you are going for a similar effect – chilis come to mind. Adapt for your own spice tolerance!🌶️🌶️
As for the seeds in the tomatoes and the pepper… they are good for you, so I tend to include them in my tomato soup recipe. However, if you think that they are flavourless or bitter, then feel free to remove them before adding the tomato and pepper bits to the stockpot.
If you don’t require the recipe to be vegan, then you can always replace the olive oil for a bit of butter. Alternatively, you can use another type of cooking oil for the same effect.
I used vegan Greek yoghurt as a thickener for the soup, though you can always use another type of yoghurt if it suits you better. If you would prefer to use cream, that is fine too! (However, just as a reminder, this would mean that the soup is no longer vegan!)
If you want to use a strainer to get rid of any excess liquid, then feel free to do so!

Salt is an entirely optional addition

While I like to add a little bit of salt to my tomato soup, it is up to you if you don’t. It goes without saying but if you follow a low sodium diet, then I would advise to not add any salt to the soup. The soup will still be tasty if you don’t add salt. The salt merely helps to bring out the flavours that are already there.

Storage

After letting the soup cool, you can place it in the fridge. It can potentially last 3-5 days, if stored in the fridge in an airtight container. If you store the soup in the freezer, it can last for around 3-6 months.
Additionally, this is just guidance. So, if it looks a bit dodgy, you don’t like the look of it or if it has been out for a while, then unfortunately, I think that is one for the bin. When it comes to cooking and baking a bit of common sense will go a long way. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Additionally, when storing always use an air-tight container, otherwise these times do not apply.
