    Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup (GF)

    This Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup is:

    • rich and indulgent
    • full of flavour
    • warming and comforting!

    Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup (GF)

    This Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup was inspired by my Creamy Vegan Tomato Sauce Pasta - as I've been on a bit of a soup kick recently, I thought I might try my hand at a cream of tomato soup kinda situation.

    But instead of using white beans for creaminess like in this Creamy Vegan Corn Chowder, I decided to use cashew nuts instead.

    Blended cashews create a luxuriously creamy texture, and add a sweet mildness that balances out the acidity of the tomatoes.

    What I love about blended cashews is that they create a seriously creamy texture and rich taste without being too heavy or cloying, and provide a good source of protein too.

    The recipe for this Creamy Vegan Tomato Soup is pretty low-maintenance too, as there's no need to soak the cashews beforehand, as they become soft being cooked with the rest of the ingredients.

    The flavour comes from fried onions, garlic, carrots and celery, sweet, smoky paprika and aromatic oregano. You can also add a little 'cheesy' nutritional yeast and spicy cayenne chilli pepper if you like.

    This soup is perfect for batch-cooking - it keeps well covered in the fridge for up to a few days, and freezes well too!

      Just made this soup and the smell whilst it was cooking was very strange and I dreaded what it was going to taste like. I can honestly say it is heavenly. Thick, tomatoey and very very creamy. Delicious?
