Vegan Cream of Tomato Soup
Vegan Cream of Tomato Soup given an epic vegan and low fodmap twist. Yep, no onions, garlic and just as delish as the classic 57 variety!
A can of Heinz tomato soup was my go to comfort food to have for lunch whenever I was poorly as a kid. Being bundled up on the sofa under a duvet, watching Harold Bishop return from the ‘dead’, and dunking thickly buttered bread into a warming bowl of tomato soup was my 90’s illkid jam.
Now that I can’t eat many of my old favourite comfort foods, I always like to try and recreate their magic with a free from/vegan twist.
I’ve tried and tested this recipe so many times. Each time getting that little bit closer than the last. And I think, I thiiiiink, this is as close as I can possibly get it, while keeping it vegan, gluten free, and low fodmap.
I hope you love it.

SERVES 4
Ingredients
800g vine tomatoes
3 tbsp tomato puree
4 tbsp garlic infused olive oil
1 litre of low fodmap vegetable stock ( I use 1l boiled water and 2 low fodmap vegetable stock cubes)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
100ml vegan cream
2 tbsp cornflour mixed with 4 tbsp water
pinch of sugar
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC.
Slice the tomatoes in half and pop them onto a baking tray, mix and coat with the garlic oil and tomato purée. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Roast for 20-25 minutes for until they’ve reduced in size by about half — this allows the flavour to intensify.
Pop the roasted tomatoes in a large pan along with the vegetable stock.
Bring to the boil over a medium heat, then simmer away for about 15 minutes.
Blend until completely smooth then pass through a very fine sieve.
Pop back into the pan, add the vinegar, cornflour, sugar and season to taste.
Let it simmer and thicken for 5 minutes or so.
Stir in the cream and serve.
Store any leftovers in a airtight container in the fridge and consume within 5 days.
