Vegan Tomato Soup
This easy vegan tomato soup is the perfect appetizer. It’s ready in 30 minutes!
Ingredients: (makes 4 servings)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small red onion, diced
800g (roughly 2 cans) of whole peeled tomatoes
240ml water
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp smoked paprika (regular sweet paprika works, too)
kosher salt to taste
80ml light coconut milk
Instructions:
Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot, over medium-low heat. When the pot is hot, add onions and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the onions are soft. Stir often to keep the onions from burning.
Add the entire can of whole tomatoes, including the liquid, and 1 cup of water. Using the back of a wooden spoon, gently smash the tomatoes. Add dried oregano, dried basil, paprika, and a pinch of kosher salt. Raise the heat to medium and bring everything to boil. Let soup simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off heat. Let the soup cool off for 5 minutes before transferring to a blender to blend.
Return soup to pot and stir in coconut milk.
Serve in bowls with black pepper, basil leaves, and cashew cream, if you like.
