Low Carb Tomato Soup: Easy and Delicious

Share it with others!

This is our favorite and the only low carb soup we’ll eat. I LOVE tomatoes but my family only likes them when they’re cooked in things like pizza sauce or spaghetti. This low carb tomato soup (roasted tomato basil soup), however, they all get excited about when I make it. It’s SUPER easy, and no heavy cream (dairy-free), and no sugar!!!

Low Carb Tomato Soup Ingredients

  • You’ll need 12 medium tomatoes

You can use Roma tomatoes, regular tomatoes, or a mixture of both.  If you use Roma tomatoes you will probably want to add more.  In these photos I used a mix and I used about 20 tomatoes as most of them were Roma’s from my garden.

  1. Oh, that sounds so good! We just used the last of our homegrown tomatoes, so I’m saving this for next season. I’m one of those people who only likes fresh homegrown tomatoes. I only buy grocery store tomatoes for my husband. He likes them no matter where they come from.

    1. Thank you Linda. You are right, homegrown ones are the most delicious! We also make this in the summer with those fresh tomatoes and freeze a few batches so we can have it in the winter time with grilled cheese sandwiches. 🙂

      1. I just revisited this recipe as I was thinking of summer. I can hardly wait until August when I can get fresh tomatoes for home canning. We ran out already, so I have to do more next year. As I was reading the comments about only liking cooked tomatoes, it dawned on me that cooking tomatoes actually increases their lycopene which is extremely good for your heart. While cooking did decrease the vitamin C by 29%, it also raised the lycopene by 164%! So cook up some tomatoes as a way to keep your heart healthy.

        1. That is super awesome information Linda, thank you for sharing 🙂

  2. Stephanie says:

    Mmmm…. this looks so good, my friend! What time shall I come over for supper? hehehe 🙂 I am like your family and I don’t care for tomatoes unless they are cooked. I love a good tomato soup and this looks like the perfect recipe. Thanks for sharing!

    Hugs! Stephanie-The Enchanting Rose

    Excellent recipe! Absolutely love tomato soup too. This year I am growing Roma, San Marzano, beefsteak and 2 varieties of cherry and grape tomatoes. Wish I had room for more! Will be make a lot this summer. Thanks for your super easy recipe. I put garlic in mine sometimes too.

    1. You’re most welcome & thanks for joining the party Marilyn, can’t wait to see your latest.

  12. Chas, how did you know I still had 8 lbs of Roma tomatoes leftover from the 50 lbs. I was canning yesterday? I will roast them and make this soup. I don’t think I know you had a garden! Thanks for the easy and great recipe!

    1. Thank you so much Mary, I’m thrilled you want to try the soup. We really like it plus no sugar. So many people put sugar in their tomato soup. I am envious of your bounty! We do have a decent garden… always fighting the critters, disease, and neighbors trees suckering in it! Ugg the garden life lol.

    1. Thank you so much Rachael. We absolutely love it and can’t wait to have it every year when our tomatoes ripen. Yes you are so right, we do freeze several batches for the winter with grilled cheese. Great minds think a like 😉

    How much basil do you add?

    1. You can add as much or as little as you like. I would suggest starting with about 3 leaves and tasting it, you can always add more.
