    When the weather gets chilly, nothing warms me like a big bowl of soup. I dream of soup when I'm out in the cold.

    I can picture myself on my couch all wrapped up in blankets sipping on some hot soup with my pups at my side. Nothing beats that kind of day.

    I previously shared some soup recipes like my Colcannon Soup and Vegan Corn Chowder, but today I wanted to tell you about my new soup obsession  - my Vegan Roasted Tomato Soup.

    An Easy and Quick Cozy Meal

    My Vegan Roasted Tomato Soup recipe came together out of necessity. It was cold and I needed some soup to warm me ASAP. Looking around, I found I had a can of chickpeas, roasted tomatoes, and coconut milk on hand...but that was about it.

    I figured the chickpeas would make the soup nice and thick. I'm so glad for my bare pantry that day because this has become one of my favorite soups!

    I usually make a pot of this soup at least 1-2 times a month because it's so easy and tasty. I can make it on a Sunday for dinner and then have leftovers to take to work for a few days. I serve it with some nice toasted bread and I'm all set!

    Reasons why my this is one of my favorite recipes:

    • ready in about 20 minutes
    • healthy (good carbs, protein, fat)
    • great to take leftovers to work (like I share in my Vegan Meal Planning)
    • creamy without the cream
    • totally delicious!

    Roasted Tomato Soup Nutrition

    Nutritionally this meal provides a nice serving of protein and carbs from the chickpeas and healthy fat from the coconut milk. After having a bowl of my Roasted Tomato Soup, I'm totally full (which I can't say I feel after having other soups).

      I love the addition of beans/chickpeas as a protein source. I added 1/2 cup oats and extra water(1 1/2 cups) plus a tablespoon of broth powder in place of the coconut milk. Really tasty!

        So glad you enjoyed it, JoAnn! What a great way to sub the milk. I've done oats + water in smoothies before but never soup. I'll have to try that sometime. 🙂
        Thanks so much for coming back and leaving a review!

      This was so good I will definitely be making it again. I added a little liquid smoke since I didn't have roasted tomatoes and substituted smoked paprika and used chickpeas made fresh.

        I'm so happy you enjoyed it, Dawn! Adding liquid smoke is such a great idea! I bet it added a nice depth of flavor. 🙂

        Thanks for the review!

      Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have always been neutral to tomato soup, but this was the BEST tomato soup I've ever tasted and I will definitely be making it again

      Have you tried freezing the extra soup? I was wondering how it would be defrosted. Thanks for a delicious looking dinner idea!

        Hi Victoria! Thank so much!
        I *think* I froze it before. I make it a lot so I can't imagine that I haven't, but I don't want to tell you definitely. If I have, I'm pretty sure it was fine. It doesn't have anything in it that might get weird when defrosted (like sometimes tofu or cashew cream can have texture changes). I hope you enjoy!

      would it work if I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned?

        Hi Morri, I have never tried it but I can't see why it wouldn't work if you roast them yourself and it comes out to about the same amount of tomatoes as is in the can. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out. 🙂

      The ingredients list does not have how much tomato or chickpeas to add. Am I missing it somehow?

      How many would you say this recipe feeds? I want to make it for a bigger dinner sitting, and would like to know how to adapt the recipe for a larger company!

        Hi Sara! I would say it makes about 8 cups of soup. So I guess at least 8 but I'm not sure you'll need a cup each if you're having other courses. I hope your dinner party is wonderful!

          CAN YOU SUBSTITUTE ANY OTHER MILK

            Hi Aileen, you could probably use any other type of milk - though I have only tried it with the canned coconut milk. I used coconut because it's a little creamier so it just might make the soup a little less creamy but it should taste the same.
            Thanks for stopping by!

      When do you add the coconut milk and do you taste coconut?

        Hi Beth, sorry about that - I updated the recipe to add in the coconut milk. I don't know how I forgot that!

        No, I don't taste any coconut in the soup. It doesn't make it sweet or anything like that.
