Easy & Healthy Tomato Basil Soup Recipe

This easy & healthy tomato basil soup recipe is a perfect weeknight meal! It uses a secret ingredient to thicken it up AND add more protein to the soup.A few years ago, we started making this tomato basil soup recipe at least once a week. We were hooked. BUT it called for cream cheese, which I really never cook with. I decided to experiment a little bit, and re-created the recipe so it became our own. Now, we still eat it all the time!

This easy & healthy tomato basil soup recipe is creamy – but there’s no cream in it. We use plain greek yogurt to thicken it up, and it works beautifully!

Save Recipe

Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion (chopped)
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1/2 cup fresh basil (chopped)
1 (28 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (undrained)
3 Tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt
1 cups milk (I used almond)
chicken broth
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and saute the chopped onion for 3-5minutes, until translucent.
Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add tomatoes and basil- bring to a boil.
Transfer the soup into a food processor (or blender) and blend until smooth.
Add the blended soup back to the pot - add the greek yogurt & the milk (adjust the amount of milk to match the consistency you want)
Add chicken broth until it reaches your desired consistency (I like mine thicker and sometimes don't even add any broth)
Bring back to a desired serving temperature.
Add salt & pepper to taste.
Serve topped with parmesan cheese and with a piece of bread!

Notes

You can easily use chicken broth instead of milk - they both taste great!
If you have an old Parmesan cheese rind, add it! It adds great depth of flavor into the soup.
