Creamy 3 Ingredient Tomato Soup (Using Tomato Paste)

Question 1

Can I Use Fresh Tomatoes Instead?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use about 2 pounds or 10-12 medium tomatoes (Roma tomatoes are best for this). Just cook a bit longer, around 40 minutes simmering.

Question 2

Can I Use Tomato Sauce Instead of Tomato Paste?

Accepted Answer

Tomato sauce varies from sauce-to-sauce much more than tomato paste. Tomato sauce also has more ingredients in the can than just tomatoes and it carries more liquid. This being said, I cannot guarantee results if you use tomato sauce instead. If you still want to try it, reduce the amount of added liquid in the recipe and cook the same way.

Question 3

Can I Use Onion Powder Instead Of Fresh Onion?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you don’t want the added step of cooking the onion, add 1 tablespoon of onion powder along with any other spices you’re using before blending.

Question 4

Can I Use A Different Milk?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use soy milk for a similar rich taste. Almond and oat milks are more runny by nature, so I don’t recommend these as a substitute. Canned coconut milk is always my top choice for the flavor it brings out in dishes.

I also don’t recommend whole milk as it could curdle easily due to the acidity in tomatoes. You can leave out the milk and just add more broth or water, then add heavy cream drizzled over the top of your bowl for a similar creamy taste.

Question 5

What Kind Of Broth Can I Use?

Accepted Answer

I like to use simple vegetable broth, but you can also use chicken stock or chicken broth if you’re not vegetarian.

Question 6

How Long Should I Blend It?

Accepted Answer

If you like a bit of texture to your soup, use your immersion blender for just 2-3 minutes. If you like a smooth soup (like I do), blend for a bit longer until you don’t see any more chunks or too much texture
