Delicious Keto Tomato Soup Recipe (The Creamy Comfort)
Tomato soup is a soup made with tomatoes as the main ingredient. Tomato soup may be made in a variety of ways, served hot or cold, with crackers, croutons or sour cream. It’s quite popular in the USA, Poland and Spain.
It may be both cooked from fresh or canned tomatoes. For our Keto Tomato Soup we choose crushed canned tomatoes, with no sugar or artificial flavours added. In traditional recipe flour is added to tomato soup to increase its viscosity.
Also, you can reduce the amount of carbs even more, by swapping shredded gouda cheese to grated grana padano.
Crushed tomatoes is the highest carb ingredient in this recipe. 100g of crushed tomatoes consist of 7.3g of carbs with 5.4g of net carbs.
One serving (1 cup) of our keto tomato soup contains 4.4 grams of net carbs (croutons not included).
Ingredients
Step 1.
Heat butter in a pan. When butter melts, add chopped onion and cook just until lightly brown.
Step 2.
Then add minced garlic, cook 30 seconds, add all seasonings and continue to cook for one minute more, stirring frequently.
Step 3.
Add crushed tomatoes, stir well, cover with a lid and cook for 5 min on low heat.
Step 4.
Pour in chicken broth, give a good stir and bring to a boil. Return the lid back and continue to cook for 10 minutes or until tomatoes are tender.
Step 5.
While the soup is cooking, prepare the croutons (if using): preheat the oven to 220 F/ 110 C. Cut your keto friendly bread into cubes.
Line the baking tray with foil or parchment paper and transfer your keto bread cubes into the baking tray, sprinkle with grana padano and bake for 10 minutes or until crispy.
Step 6.
Season with salt and pepper and puree the soup using immersion blender right in the pot until smooth.
If you do not have immersion blender, you can use regular food processor, but in this case puree your soup in batches.
Step 7.
Return the soup to the stove top, pour in heavy cream, add shredded cheese and warm it up.
Serving
Divide tomato soup between bowls and serve in garnished with grated grana padano and croutons (if using).
