Spicy Tomato Soup

Spicy Tomato Soup

You guys are always asking for EASY weeknight meals, so here is my Spicy Tomato Soup!! To be 100% honest with you, I always used to take the canned version and doctor it up to be spicy… but nothing tastes as good as the homemade stuff! 

Whole Canned Tomatoes

If you want to use fresh roma tomatoes, you can certainly do that. However, for the sake of time, I wanted to use the canned version because everyone is always asking me for quick recipes. When finding canned tomatoes, be sure to use a brand that has no added salt. A lot of ready made tomato soups are extremely heavy in sodium, so we are trying to make a healthier version over here 😉

Spicy Peppers

I’m using serrano peppers because I love the taste of them, but you can use jalapeno’s, or even poblano peppers. This is definitely a spicy tomato soup, but you can omit the spice if it’s too much for you.

Making big batches

There’s nothing more annoying than making a small batch of soup. LOL… I usually end up making enough to feed an army + their relatives, so I usually just freeze the soup in small containers for up to a month and take one out as necessary! If you are in love with soup like I am, you should DEFINITELY try out my Winter Quesadilla Soup and Turmeric Potato Leek Soup!!

Spicy Tomato Soup
100x better than the canned stuff!

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 cup white onion (roughly chopped)
  • 1 large carrot (roughly chopped)
  • 4 serrano peppers (roughly chopped)
  • 8 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2- 28 oz cans whole tomatoes ((do not rinse))
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp ginger
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil

INTRUCTIONS

  1. In a large pot, warm up your oil on medium low. Once warm, add in your onion, carrot and serrano peppers.
  2. Give it a mix and let them warm up for about 2 minutes or so.
  3. Then add in your basil, garlic, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and salt to taste. Mix well and let it heat up for another 2 minutes.
  4. Take your whole tomatoes and pour directly into the pot. Do not strain the water from the can. Then add in your vegetable stock, sugar and ginger. Give it a mix and let it cook on medium low heat for at least 30 minutes, mixing occasionally.
  5. After 30 minutes are up, take everything from the pot and add it to your blender, or use an immersion blender. I like to pulse it until everything is nice and pureed.
  6. After its blended, pour it back into your pot and adjust for seasoning. If you have extra time, keep it on low heat for another 20 minutes or so to bring all of the flavors together.
  7. When ready, serve with grilled cheese, crackers, or a drizzle of heavy cream if desired!

NOTES

  • After blending and adding your soup back to the pot, make sure you check seasonings! You may need to add a little bit more sugar. It depends on the batch of tomatoes you get 🙂
