Vitamix Tomato Soup Veggie Loaded

Blender Tomato Soup

If you are looking for a comforting lunch or dinner for the whole family, you must give this veggie-loaded tomato soup a try! This soup is thick and creamy, thanks to all the vegetables and avocado! And it truly feels like a meal especially when enjoyed with a side of grilled cheese, a tomato soup’s always and forever bestie. This moist and fluffy cornbread would be a delicious accompaniment as well! You can enjoy this soup cold or warm depending on the season and your mood, just like this creamy cauliflower soup, and carrot and lentil soup.

Ingredients

I am highlighting just the ones that need further explanation. The complete list is in the recipe card below.

Vitamix

A high-speed, high powered blender will give you the most creamiest soup. While the friction of Vitamix blades can create a steaming-hot soup in 10 minutes or less, I HIGHLY recommend that you take the extra step to roast the vegetables first. Roasting will help caramelize the veggies and bring out their natural sweetness, which means MORE FLAVOR! You can roast all the vegetables together in the same pan to eliminate additional work. If you are feeling hesitant about investing in one, I can relate! But I can also tell you that I’ve had my Vitamix for 7+ years and it’s worth every penny! I use it to make all my blender muffins, dips/sauces, smoothies, veggie nuggets, pancakes…it’s hands down my number one workhorse.

Step by Step Instructions

Tips for success

Roast the vegetables! It’s totally worth the extra step. Don’t fill you past the maximum fill line. Depending on the size of your Vitamix (or blender) container, you may need to blend in two batches.Start the blender on low speed and quickly increase to highest speed. Adjust blending time. If you want to enjoy cold, stop once all the ingredients are blended. Blend for up to 10 minutes if you want to enjoy warm. You will notice steam escaping from the lid.

Tips for Making Creamy Tomato Soup

Cauliflower, carrots, and avocado add a lovely creaminess to the soup while boosting nutrition. You can also add some white beans. If you desire a richer soup, you can add whole milk, a swirl of heavy cream or coconut milk (if dairy-free) after blending. You can also sprinkle in some cheese for a punch of flavor. The soup is especially good with parmesan cheese!

Serving Suggestions

For babies

If you are doing purees, then serve the soup as is. If you are doing baby led weaning, soups are challenging. I recommend mixing the soup with lentils, oatmeal, pasta, rice, etc. to make it easier to scoop. This is also a great way to incorporate more texture and nutrition. You can also spread a thin layer onto toast! Ultimate guide to tomatoes for babies

For toddlers and kids

For toddlers, this soup will be great for dunking their favorite foods, like grilled cheese sandwich. If your child doesn’t like anything green, you can serve the basil on the side and allow them to tear and add to their soup (or not). It’s their choice. Pressuring doesn’t work. Role modeling does! So go on and enjoy your bowl of soup with a side salad. It just might pique your child’s interest.

Storage

Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through or in the microwave. To freeze, first let the soup cool completely. Will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe bag or container. To thaw, place the soup in the fridge overnight.
