Jump to Recipe
Souping has begun in our house to keep us warm through the colder nights. Nights are actually just cool, but my body is not yet used to the sudden temperature drop. Hence a bit of help from the warmingspices and peppers goes a long way. Use up the summer tomato bounty.
Warm up with a spiced, warm, tangy and sweet soup. This easy tomato soup is seasoned with cumin, coriander, bay leaf and turmeric, has loads of garlic, has cayenne and black pepper to warm you up from the inside. Warming and healing and all kinds of good. To make it creamier, add a handful of cashews or pumpkin seeds in while blending, or use white beans. Use spices and herbs of choice for variation. I served the soup with vegan grilled cheddar cheese (Daiya cheddar slices) sandwich cut into bite size croutons.
Also try this creamy filling Broccoli Slaw Soup, Easy Turkish lentil soup, Curried Butternut Squash Soup with toasted pepitas or Mushroom chickpea greens soup.

This was perfect when I needed a quick and easy (and vegan) spicy tomato soup recipe. I followed the suggestions and added both white beans and coconut milk. The flavors were great, and the soup hit the spot! Thank you!Reply

I have a similar recipe where I add a can of pinto beans to the veggies. Then I blend it all in a blender and reheat. I like this combo of spices. Yum.

Made in soup maker, so left out the oil and bay leaf. Used fresh tomatoes, added yogurt to make it a bit creamier and some cornflour to thicken up,but still has a lovely spicy kickReply

i want to make this and I have a question about the bay leaf. Is that the Laurel Bay or are you indicating the leaf used in Indian spices also called ‘bay’?
Reply
Richa
Indian bay leaf but we can use either.

I had just opened a can of tomato soup and warmed it….It was so NOT what I wanted! So I made this recipe using the condensed tomato soup and water (and I didn’t blend it, so it was a little chunky). I will never be able to eat canned tomato soup as it is sold!!! This is the most awesome tomato soup i have ever had!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!

I make this soup all the time but add coconut milk and cilantro. It’s a great recipe! I was thinking of making it again today, but have a big bunch of fresh basil to use up. Any opinion on how these flavors would work together? I feel like basil is sometimes used in Indian cooking, but haven’t found any recipes using Indian spices + basil. And if I use basil, do you think that coconut milk would still be a good addition? Thanks in advance. I always love your recipes!

it will work just fine with the indian spices. If you arent sure, use the basil and black pepper and omit the cumin

Made this with 7 fresh tomatoes & it was one of the best tomato soups I’ve had! Replaced cumin seeds with mustard & fennel seeds (since they are expiring soon lol), bay leaf with basil leaves, and I did season the soup little cumin powder. It was simply delicious! Love your recipes, they are awesome!!!Reply

Nice way to use a can of diced tomatoes! Thanks!Reply

Hi Richa,
I made the soup this morning–very tasty! And quite spicy for me. Love the way it totally cleared my sinuses; at the same time, I think I’ll start with half the cayenne next time and see how that is. I was lucky to be able to use farmers market tomatoes. Oh, and I cannot tell a lie: I used a tablespoon of coconut oil to saute the onions, etc, instead of a half-teaspoon. Sorry, Dr. McDougall et. al. 🙂We ate the soup with rice and had crispy cabbage-radish salad also. Thanks for another yummy recipe!

When I got my wisdom teeth removed, I basically went on a soup cleanse, lost weight and got SO sick of any liquid-based meals! Well, except for curry 😉
But I’ve always loved tomato soups because they’re so flavorful, nicely tangy and colorful! Your take on this is wonderful–so many spices!

Yes, I got very bored of all the soups and dals for the week. I think i made up by eating only burgers and pizzas 2 weeks later 🙂

A new twist on tomato soup! And perfect segue into cooler fall evenings. Thank-you!

I’m drooling! Just need to decide if I want to add more turmeric—I have lots of fresh—do you think it could handle more turmeric?
Reply
Richa
You can omit the dry and add some grated fresh or blend it with the tomatoes. Fresh turmeric will add a slight bitter flavor profile, which is quite pleasing once you get accustomed to it.

Richa, I guess I’ll have to make an adjustment to this week’s menu plan. With an open can of tomatoes in the refrigerator, I can’t pass this one up. Thanks for another enticing recipe!Reply
Richa
Awesome! Its super quick and so delicious.
