Carry on reading for more information on how to make the perfect Tomato Soup or simply skip straight to the recipe.
Soup makes a great, filling and tasty lunch at any time of the year. This beautiful tasting Tomato Soup is perfect just as it is or drizzled with a touch of sweet balsamic vinegar.
One of the best things about soup is that it tends to be quite low in points!
That means that you can have a big bowl of warming, tasty soup with a slice or two of bread (if you have the points to spare).
This Tomato Soup is pretty straight forward to make and whats more, it freezes well.
Keep it in the freezer for up to 3 months and then reheat slowly on the stove top for an easy low point lunch whenever you want
Did you know that you can use the recipe card below to increase or decrease the number of servings.
This means if you want to make soup for 2 or 25 you can, without having to dig out your calculator to work it all out!
Just click in the 'servings' box and change the serving number to what you want and the ingredient quantities will recalculate automatically!
Use this fab tool to make a big batch of this Tomato soup and then portion it up and freeze it for easy lunches whenever you want.
Tips for making this Tomato Soup:
- For an extra tasty Tomato soup, use vine ripened tomatoes.
- I talk about de-glazing the pan in this recipe. When cooking Weight Watcher friendly meals you use less oil than you normally would when frying / sauteing food. This means that when sauteing onions etc, you run the risk of bits of the onion sticking to the bottom of the pan. By adding a splash of water to the pan after you have sauteed and using a wooden spoon to scrape those browned bits off, you are preventing the onion from sticking further and burning when the other ingredients are added. You are also adding to the overall flavour of the dish by doing this (as long as it is done before the bits have started to burn!).
Serving suggestions:
I love this soup served with a drizzle of sweet balsamic vinegar and a chunk of french bread 😀

What I used to make this soup.
I used a immersion blender, like this one, to blend the soup.
I use a good quality Balsamic Vinegar, like this one available from Amazon,to drizzle over my soup for extra taste!

Ingredients
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- 2 carrots diced
- 1 red onion finely sliced
- 3 cloves garlic finely sliced
- 6 large tomatoes tomatoes
- 1 stock cube made up with 2¼ cups (500ml)hot water
- 6 basil leaves
- 1 tbsp tomato puree / paste
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp freshly ground pepper
- balsamic vinegar optional
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and when hot add the onion and carrots. Cook for 5 - 7 minutes, stirring to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Once the onions have become tender and translucent, add a tablespoon of water to the pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape any of the browned onion into the mixture. This will do two things, it will prevent any bits of onion from burning to the bottom of the pan and will also add to the flavour of the soup. Add the garlic and saute for one minute
Add the chopped tomatoes, stock, basil leaves, tomato puree, salt, sugar and pepper and stir. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat till the mixture is gently simmering.
Cover the pot and leave to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. You could also use a processor/ blender by adding the mix in batches & blitzing till smooth.
Taste & season further if required.
Serve immediately with an optional drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

My apologies for not making that more clear - I will change the recipe card to give more info.
You could use either chicken stock or vegetable stock in this recipe - i've used both & both are good.
Kindest regards

If fresh tomatoes aren't in season, could you use canned products and get the same result?

Hello! I have a similar recipe to yours that calls for heavy cream right before serving. I used to do keto for a few years and it was a staple then but not so much with weight watchers. Would you think it would add up a lot of points especially if I had just 1 bowl for a meal? I love tomato basil soup but I want to be good & not eat something without realizing it’s more points than I thought. Thank you!

Hi Abby
Thank you for your comment.
Heavy cream works out at 3 points per tablespoon (for me anyway) on the Personal Points plan. A lot of the high fat foods that are suitable for a Keto diet are (unfortunately!) going to be pretty high in WW points.
Best of luck with your WW journey.
Kindest regards
