This delicious Vegan Roasted Tomato Soup is made creamy with chickpeas and coconut milk. A filling yet healthy meal, this soup is ready in less than 30 minutes.
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

Kimmythevegan says
I really enjoy tomato soup, but find it isn't particularly filling. I love how you bulked it up with chickpeas. It would make it nice & filling. And warm and glorious for lunch on a cold day (I realize I have no right to talk about cold...). I am definitely giving this a try soon!
Mary Ellen says
Thanks Kimmy! I love bulking up with chickpeas. I'm obsessed with them lately.
It gets a little chilly in California. 🙂

What? People dissing on soup? That' just terrible, they need to try our soups and it will change their minds!
