Ingredients

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes

  • 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

  • 1/2 tsp dried basil (or 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped)

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (for a smoky depth)

  • 1/4 tsp pepper

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or oat milk (for a dairy-free creamy finish)

  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (for added umami flavor)

  • 1 tsp chili flakes (for a little kick)

  • Fresh microgreens (optional for garnish)

Directions

  • SautĂ© the Aromatics:
    Heat olive oil or avocado oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
    Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and chili flakes. Stir for about 1 minute to release the flavors.
  • Simmer the Tomatoes:
    Add the crushed tomatoes, vegetable or chicken broth, basil, and pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
  • Blend for Smoothness:
    For that trendy, velvety texture, use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Blend until smooth (or leave it chunky if you prefer!).
  • Add the Creaminess:
    Stir in the coconut milk or oat milk for that rich, dairy-free creamy finish. Add the nutritional yeast for a pop of savory flavor, and adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • Serve with a Trendy Touch:
    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of microgreens. If you're feeling extra trendy, drizzle with a touch of olive oil and a sprinkle of hemp seeds or roasted pumpkin seeds.
  • Enjoy:
    This updated tomato soup is not only comforting but also packed with the latest trends in wellness—coconut milk for a creamy twist, nutritional yeast for umami, and microgreens for a fresh garnish. Serve it with some avocado toast or even a cauliflower grilled cheese for a wholesome, Instagram-worthy meal!
