What can I expect? 

Unlike many tomato soup recipes, this version is completely sugar-free and free from starchy carbs. To start, fresh veggies are tossed with salt, pepper, avocado oil, and thyme and roasted until tender and fragrant. This enhances their natural sweetness and creates a vibrant, savory flavor. 

Then, we add balsamic vinegar, broth, heavy cream, and a sugar substitute, and roast the mixture again to infuse the veggies with rich flavor. Blended until smooth the entire recipe comes together in a single pan in under an hour. Plus, it’s loaded with vitamins, nutrients, and fiber to keep you full. 

You can easily serve this roasted tomato soup on its own. Or, pair it with low-carb cheesy bread or grilled cheese on low-carb bread for a family-friendly meal. You can even make a big batch to keep on hand for quick meals throughout the week! 

Is Roasted Tomato Soup Healthy? 

Let’s take a look at the main ingredients: 

• Tomatoes
• White onion
• Garlic 
• Broth
• Heavy Cream 
• Sugar Substitute 

Tomatoes, onions, garlic, and broth are natural, nutritious food sources. Use them to add flavor and nutrients to a variety of recipes. 

But what about heavy cream? Is dairy healthy?

Here’s what we know. Dairy is full of vitamins, minerals, protein, and natural fat energy. But if everyone consumed dairy all of the time, dairy farming would become abusive and unsustainable…

Let’s be mindful of our dairy intake. Buy dairy that comes from pasture-raised cows and try to eat less. 

Sugar is what makes food unhealthy.

Most roasted tomato soup recipes are made with granulated sugar and are served with bread (refined grains), which digests very similarly to sugar. 

In a single serving of soup, you’re already up to 15g or more of sugar. Next, you’re looking at heartburn with an energy crash. (And you’ll be scouring the pantry for your next sugar snack within the hour.)

Omit the sugar and bread. Or, swap them out with a low-carb alternative, and this recipe becomes nourishment. The ingredients provide vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and quality, whole-food energy.

Roasted Tomato Soup Tips

1. Store leftovers

Once cool, you can transfer leftover soup to an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the fridge for 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Thaw the soup in the fridge overnight, and reheat it in the microwave or a pot over medium heat on the stove when you’re ready to eat. 

2. Use fresh tomatoes

This soup will only be as good as your tomatoes. So, make sure to use fresh, ripe varieties! Look for heirloom tomatoes. Vine-ripened tomatoes will give the best flavor in the summer. However, if tomatoes aren’t in season, varieties like grape, cherry, plum, or Roma tomatoes from the grocery store are your next best bet. Avoid large, watery varieties like Hothouse tomatoes, or your soup won’t have much flavor.

3. Adjust the texture 

We puree this soup until it’s smooth and creamy. However, feel free to adjust the consistency to suit your preferences, leaving some chunks if that’s what you prefer. 

4. Add spice 

Feel free to add a dash of smoked paprika or crushed red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicier taste.
