Vegan Whole30 Tomato Basil Soup
Nothing beats a comforting cup of homemade soup, and this Vegan Whole30 Tomato Basil Soup is delicious AND easy to make.
The recipe below was inspired by my experience eating Whole30 this year, which requires going 100% sugar free as part of the reset for your body. Tomato soup without a touch of sugar can taste too tart, so I used the roasted tomatoes to add the needed hint of sweetness.
If you’re feeding a crowd or if you and your significant other are doing Whole30 together, you can easily double the recipe.
This vegan whole30 tomato basil soup is best made using an immersion blender. I put off buying one until recently … and I could kick myself for not buying one sooner! Watch for a whole lot of blended soup recipes in the coming year!
