This may be the fastest soup I've ever made. I was looking for something quick, warm and comforting, but still gluten-free and paleo-friendly. I put together a few ingredients I had in the pantry, blended everything until it was velvety smooth and brought it to a quick simmer. The result was an almost instant paleo tomato soup with intense tomato flavor and a hint of heat and garlic.
MY LATEST RECIPES I used canned tomatoes since fresh tomatoes are out of season (and I didn't have any in the house). This soup is really all about the tomatoes, so it's important to use the best quality tomatoes available. For canned I always go with organic tomatoes. I like Muir Glen Organic and they always have them at my local grocery store. See the Cook's Illustrated canned tomato taste test here for a review of the major brands.
- 1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon garlic infused olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/8 teaspoon chipotle chili flakes
- sea salt to taste
- fresh ground pepper to taste
- Add all ingredients to Vitamix or blender and blend on high until smooth.

Pour soup into sauce pan. Bring to a rapid boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
For vegan: use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock
All I can say is wow! Great site and very neat recipe`s. Bob has been sharing your info since I have been reading Wheat Belly and I think you topo would enyoy it . Lots of thing that relate to you. Since I do all the cooking i think you have some things I must try. Good luck with this venture.
Thanks – glad you like the recipes!
I really can’t understand all of these paleo tomato soup recipes using canned tomatoes. Chopping some fresh ones would not only be healthier but would only take a minute or two more to prepare.
I make a fresh tomato soup as well. It takes a little longer since I sauté the tomatoes first to develop the flavor, especially if they are not in season. Canned tomatoes are a great shortcut if you get an organic, BPA-free brand. Mark’s Daily Apple has a guide to BPA-free canned foods.
Any thoughts about how to transform this marvel into a “creamy-ish” version …sans coconut milk or nut butters?…a bit of puréed celeriac root? Newbie to your amazing blog and offerings..Clearly explained…sumptuous photography…much thanks from France.
Donna, I think pureed celeriac would be good. You could also try adding a little cashew cream (soaked cashews blended with water to a smooth creamy consistency). Thanks for your comments! Glad to have a new visitor from France 🙂
Definitely not fresh tomatoes, very pallid at this time of year, at least in the northern hemisphere. Canned definitely best until the farmers’ market or your garden kick in, then, of course, as you say, fresh is best. Seasonal eating………
Lovely recipes, thanks, Lisa
PS I like roasting the tomatoes when they are fresh!
I agree! Thanks Gillie!
