This delicious Keto Tomato Soup is possibly the best tomato soup you will ever eat! Perfectly creamy and full of flavor and simple to make!
You know what would make this soup more perfect?
If it you ate it with a healthy egg salad grilled cheese sandwich. But, then it wouldn't be keto, so you probably won't.
Good thing this simple soup is SLAMMIN' even without the grilled cheese situation.
Honestly? It's as creamy as instant pot butternut squash soup or vegan cauliflower soup but, like, made out of TOMATOES!
And some other yummy ingredients...but still.
I might go as far as to say that this is the best tomato soup recipe that you will ever eat. Just going to throw that out there into the universe.

How to make Keto Tomato Soup
Prepare
Fire up the oven and let it preheat while you get things ready. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bake
Chop up your tomatoes into quarters and place them in a bowl. Add in the oil and garlic and a bit of the salt. Toss to coat them all evenly, then spread them onto the baking sheet. Place it into the oven and cook until the tomatoes are soft and wrinkly.
Blend
Transfer the tomatoes to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a saucepan with all ingredients except for the cream.
Cook
Bring the mixture up to a boil. Once it is boiling, reduce the heat and allow the soup to simmer for a while.
Serve
Remove the soup from heat and stir in the cream. Serve it up with basil and DEVOUR!
Serving Suggestions
This keto tomato soup is cozy as can be all on its own, but I’m also always up for jazzing up my recipes by adding sides! I recommend serving a bowl of soup with your favorite sandwich, whether it be a gluten free grilled cheese hummus sandwich, a cottage cheese sandwich, or your favorite meat and veggies on keto bread if you need it to be low carb. The sandwich possibilities are endless because SO many would pair beautifully with this tomato soup!
How to make it in the Instant Pot
If you want to speed things up and cook this stove top tomato soup, I recommend pulling out your instant pot! To make it in the instant pot, simply place all the ingredients into the instant pot and cook on manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Let the steam release naturally, then stir in the cream to finish it off!
Is tomato OK to have on the Keto diet?
YES! Tomatoes are technically a fruit, however compared to other fruits they are very low in carbohydrates, making them perfect for those eating Keto.
How to make it Paleo
If you want to make this tomato soup paleo, you totally can! You’ll want to replace the cream with full fat coconut milk instead. Keep in mind that your soup may have a slight coconut flavor if you use coconut milk!
How to freeze tomato soup
This tomato soup freezes really well! I recommend pouring any leftover soup into an airtight, freezer safe container or a heavy duty zip lock style freezer bag and labeling it, then placing it in the freezer. It will last up to 3 months this way!
