A few years ago I created a super yummy tomato tortellini soup recipe, but with my recent switch to dairy-free and mostly gluten free that recipe is no longer in our regular rotation. I definitely don’t want to make two completely different recipes when I make dinner–one for me and one for Nate and the kids–who has time for that kind of nonsense?!
So instead I created this creamy vegan tomato soup recipe for all of us to enjoy! Now you all know I’m not vegan in any sense of the word, but I’m choosing lots of vegan recipes these days since they are (clearly) also dairy-free!

This tomato soup can also be Paleo and Whole 30 friendly! To make it so just sub ghee or grass-fed butter for the non-dairy butter. You can also leave out the sweetener, but the soup may just be a touch more acidic. (Sugar or a sugar substitute helps reduce the acidity of tomato products.) Another way to add more nutrition is to use chicken bone broth in place of regular chicken or vegetable stock.

The coconut milk makes this tomato soup delicious and dairy-free! Looked for canned coconut milk near the Asian section of your grocery store. I like the Thai Kitchen brand!
Don’t worry if the top of your milk is thick like a pudding. That is totally normal and to be expected! I think it adds to the creamy consistency and I seriously love cooking with coconut milk or dropping a Tablespoon or so it into my morning coffee. Healthy fat is nothing to be afraid of! Coconut milk, not only adds a creamy, milk-like consistency, it has a ton of nutritional benefits as well!
- Coconut milk is high in MTC (medium chain fatty acids) which help improve endurance when exercising and boost metabolism. (Source)
- Another one of coconut milks superpowers is boosting the immune system. Studies have shown it boosts immunities in fighting run of the mill bacteria and even cancer! (Source and Source)
- I personally love coconut milk because the higher good fat content keeps me full longer! A bowl of canned tomato soup from the supermarket isn’t going to keep me full for a half a minute, but this soup is so flavorful and filling I don’t need a grilled cheese sandwich to dunk in it to feel satisfied!

I love how flexible and fast this vegan tomato soup recipe is! Using canned tomato products helps cut down on prep time, but if you want to grab a big, beautiful cutting board, roast and chop tomatoes, you do you, boo! I’ll be adding fire roasted ones (with the pull-off tab) to my Walmart Pickup order over here living the good lazy life.
Speaking of a pull-of can lid–does anyone else ever select canned goods based on whether or not they have a pull-off lid?
THIS GIRL certainly does!! Mama ain’t got time for no can opener!
I mean seriously I have a robot vacuum (I love it so freaking much, it has changed my life and it is worth EVERY penny). So there is no way I’m digging around in a drawer for a tool from 1950 that can’t do it’s one job well. *end rant about canned good cans*
Sorry about that, folks. Let’s take it back to this delicious dairy-free tomato soup! Yum! It will warm you up all the way to the bottom of your heart. If you’re looking for a yummy + easy + healthy lunch or dinner idea this vegan tomato soup is for you!
What is your favorite kind of fall soup?
For me it is for sure this dairy-free tomato soup or this healthy slow cooker potato soup! Both are crazy-good and healthier versions of comfort food which I am ALL about!
