Classic Tomato Soup (Paleo, Whole30, Keto)
A classic tomato soup recipe that has a nice texture without sacrificing taste and nostalgia.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 40 minutes
- Total Time: 55 minutes
- Yield: 8 1x
- Category: Paleo, Whole 30, Keto
Ingredients
- 3 TBS olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 TBS coconut flour
- 0.5 TBS arrowroot powder
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 28 oz diced canned tomatoes
- 1.5 tsp Monkfruit Sweetener (omit for Whole30)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1.5 TBS fresh basil (sliced into ribbons)
Instructions
- In a blender or with an immersion blender, puree the canned tomatoes.
- In a soup pot, heat the oil over medium-low heat until it melts.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft but not browned, about 8 minutes.
- Add the coconut flour and arrowroot flour and stir to coat the onion and garlic.
- Add the broth, tomatoes, monk fruit, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat while stirring the mixture to make sure that the flour is not sticking to the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Check the consistency. If you would like the soup thicker, cook with the lid off for 10 more minutes.
- Optional: Puree in a blender or immersion blender again. I skip this step because I like the texture as is, but if you’re looking for a more “Campbell’s Tomato Soup” feel, you’ll want to blend it again.
- Add basil and stir well.
- Enjoy!
Notes
I think the side dish will make or break a tomato soup. Most of us automatically turn to grilled cheese. This is awesome if you’re on a nutrition plan that allows for grilled cheese. However, if you’re doing a Paleo, Whole30, or Keto approach, grilled cheese probably isn’t an option.
I recommend a side of sliced chicken sausage or brats. Cook the brats or sausage all the way through, slice it, then throw it on a griddle to crisp up the sides for a nice crunch. It’s not the exact same as a grilled cheese sandwich, but it’s a nice substitute. Plus, having a side of sausage will ensure you hit your protein target!
