How To Make No Onion Tomato Soup?

Recipe Time

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Course: Soup / Appetizer

Cuisine: Global / Fusion

Serves: 4

Equipment Needed

• Medium saucepan
• Blender or immersion blender
• Ladle
• Fine mesh strainer (optional)
• Stirring spoon
• Knife and chopping board

Ingredients

• 5 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 1 small carrot, peeled and diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon sugar (balances acidity)
• 1½ cups vegetable broth or water
• ¼ teaspoon dried basil (optional)
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream or coconut milk (optional for creaminess)

Instructions

Sauté The Aromatics

I heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Then I toss in the minced garlic and sauté for just about a minute, making sure it doesn’t brown.

Add Tomatoes And Carrot

I add the chopped tomatoes and diced carrot right into the pot and cook them for about 8–10 minutes until they soften and release juices.

Pour In Broth And Season

Next, I pour in the vegetable broth. I season it with salt, pepper, sugar, and dried basil. I bring everything to a gentle boil, then let it simmer for another 10 minutes.

Blend Until Smooth

Once everything looks soft and fragrant, I turn off the heat and use my immersion blender to purée the soup. A regular blender works too—just be careful with the steam.

Optional: Strain The Soup

If I want that ultra-smooth texture, I strain the soup through a fine mesh sieve back into the pot.

Stir In Cream (Optional)

I stir in a little cream or coconut milk for added richness before serving.

Tips And Variations Of No Onion Tomato Soup

Add Roasted Veggies

Sometimes, I roast the tomatoes and carrots first to bring a smoky depth to the soup.

Spice It Up

If I feel like adding a kick, I include a pinch of red chili flakes or smoked paprika.

Make It Vegan

I skip the cream and use coconut milk or cashew cream instead. Still dreamy.

Freeze for Later

This soup freezes beautifully. I always make a double batch and stash half away.

Note

I created this recipe during a time when I couldn’t eat onions due to dietary restrictions. What surprised me most was how little I missed them.
