This easy 5-ingredient pantry tomato soup is herby, tangy and so rich and vibrant you’d never know it’s made with only a handful of pantry staples. A healthier take on a comfort food favourite, it’s both dairy and gluten free and ready in under 30 minutes!
We grow and preserve our own tomatoes during the summer months, and to be honest I find the options available to us here in winter often taste woody and bland. Canned or preserved tomatoes, however, are a great option. Not only are they both cost effective and readily available, they’ve also been harvested at their peak.
Here’s What You’ll Need to Make This 5-Ingredient Pantry Tomato Soup
- 1 large white onion
- 2 800 ml cans whole or diced tomatoes or 15-20 whole fresh tomatoes
- 4 cups broth of your choice
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning blend (see note below to make your own)
- Kosher or fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- Fresh thyme leaves to garnish
You can use vegetable, chicken or bone broth for added nutritional value, they will all result in a delicious soup. To make this soup using whole, fresh tomatoes like I use in my Quick Homemade Tomato Sauce or veggie and protein-packed Minestrone Soup, see the ingredient list below.
Served alongside a toasty, melty grilled cheese, this simple, homemade 5-ingredient pantry tomato soup makes the coziest snow day lunch!
