Creamy Gluten Free and Dairy Free Tomato Soup (Video)

This Creamy Gluten Free and Dairy Free Tomato Soup is the perfect comfort food for those nights you need a quick meal. Some gluten free crackers or grilled cheese, and you’re set!

A ceramic bowl full of gluten free tomato soup

As a child, my favourite soup was not one that my Mom had spent hours making, using herbs and vegetables that she had grown and harvested in her garden. Recipes passed down from her mother, who learned it from her mother. My favourite soup was tomato soup that came from the red and white tin.

Creamy tomato soup that perfectly paired with crisp salty crackers or a grilled cheese sandwich. Today, however, that red and white tin soup no longer loves me since wheat flour is the thickener used in that ready-in-5-minute soup.

That doesn’t mean that I can’t enjoy a quick, delicious bowl of soup. This vegan Tomato Soup actually starts with a can of tomatoes. Using whole ingredients, it’s also ready to eat in about 30 minutes.

In addition to being gluten free, this soup is also dairy free, getting it’s creaminess from the potato that is added to the mixture while it is cooking. But if you want to make it even creamier, you can add milk of your choice before serving. Coconut milk or cashew milk work great.

If you do not require a dairy-free diet, feel free to add 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (35% cream) after blending the soup, just don’t bring it back up to a boil once the cream has been added or it will curdle.

By omitting the sugar, and using a Whole 30 compliant vegetable stock, this Creamy Gluten Free and Dairy Free Tomato Soup is okay to enjoy while doing a Whole 30.

During the cool autumn months, and the cold winter months, warm soup is a welcome addition to any lunch kit. With the help of a stainless steel food jar, you can pack hot soup in the morning, and still have a nice hot meal at lunch time.

These containers also work well for keeping reheated leftovers, like mashed potatoes with chicken, veggies and gravy (my favourite,) warm until lunch.

Creamy Gluten Free and Dairy Free Tomato Soup Recipe:

This Creamy Gluten Free and Dairy Free Tomato Soup is the perfect comfort food for those nights you need a quick meal. Some gluten free crackers or grilled cheese, and you're set!

Creamy Gluten Free and Dairy Free Tomato Soup

Yield: 6 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

A really quick and creamy tomato soup that is free of both gluten and dairy. The potato helps to give it a creamy texture without the use of dairy. If dairy is not an issue with you, feel free to add 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream after blending for an even creamier soup.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oil
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) diced onion
  • 1 stick celery, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1- 28 fl. oz (796 ml) tin diced tomatoes, no salt added
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) gluten-free vegetable stock (chicken stock can be substituted)
  • 1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons (7.5-10 ml) salt (less if your diced tomatoes contain salt)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried parsley, or 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) granulated sugar (omit for Whole 30)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, saute the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic in the oil until tender, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  3. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth, or ladle a small amount into a blender and blend until smooth. If you are using a blender or food processor, only work with small amounts of soup at a time. Too much hot liquid in your blender may cause the top to blow off while blending. That's a horrible mess to clean up.
  4. Serve with gluten-free croutons, or gluten-free grilled cheese sticks. Enjoy!

Notes

If dairy is not an issue with you, feel free to add 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream after blending for an even creamier tomato soup.

    I’m going to try making this, I have lots of tomatoes in my cold room that I canned last year and I have lots in my garden that will be getting canned this fall when they’re ripe.
    Cream of mushroom was my favorite soup, and like you I can no longer eat it, and the new GF soups that that company with the red and white label puts out are not very good at all, at least the ones I have tried anyway.

    Thank-you for all your recipes Jeanine, they are very much appreciated.

    Jeanine, this is amazing! When I saw the recipe I knew I had to make it for lunch today. I didn’t have unseasoned tomatoes so I used a can with Italian spices. It gives it a spicier punch than regular tomato soup but the consistency, the appearance and the taste are so much like the stuff out of the red and white can.(except for the spices of course). This definitely rates a 5..I wonder if it will work for recipes that call for the soup out of the can. We devoured half of it for lunch so we have another round left which I am going to freeze and see how it holds up to that.

    Now can you make a gluten free, dairy free copy of the cream of mushroom soup in the red and white can? With your genius it should be a piece of cake.

      Thank you so much for the fantastic comment, Elsie! Glad to hear it was enjoyed by you two. The italian spiced tomatoes would be great with this too, I agree. I just used what I had on hand.
      Lots of hits by everyone for the cream of mushroom soup – I guess I’d better do some playing with that yet too. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I was really craving tomato soup so I splurged and paid $6.99 for a carton of gluten free soup at the grocery store. I was so bummed after tasting it. It was not good and so expensive. I tried your recipe tonight and it was AWESOME! Totally filling too. Thanks so much! I did add a little soy milk to give it a hint of nutty flavor and creaminess. The soy milk also seemed to cut out the tin flavor from the canned tomatoes as well. Dying to try this recipe out using the tomatoes from my garden when they are ripe. Thanks for not letting Celiac disease prevent my from a cherishing some good ole comfort food.

    Hi! The flavor of this soup I LOVE. It was really yummy. I think I might have done something wrong with the texture though. Mine did not come out smooth. I ended up letting it cook about 10 more minutes than the recipe said because my potatoes did not seem really soft so I added more broth when I saw it was pureeing very lumpy. It was still very good but just more lumpy than smooth. Any ideas what I did?

    I made this soup tonight and it was amazing! It took longer to prep and cook but every time I cook it takes me longer, so it may have been me. ๐Ÿ™‚ The really special thing about this soup is that it’s basically a vegetable soup with more tomatoes – super healthy and just in time for fall weather here in Portland, Oregon! YUM!

    I made this soup tonight for dinner and was not disappointed. Very easy to prepare and quick. Perfect for a fall/winter evening. I really loved that I could make a creamy soup without dairy and the fat that comes with it. Plus I got to use my new immersion blender for the first time! I’ll definitely be making this again. Love the website and can’t wait to try a few more recipes.

    I made this on Friday for a dinner party with tomatoes from our garden. It was amazing. I made a double batch so I’d have leftovers. We at the leftovers last night with baked grilled cheese. This is now my go-to tomato soup.

    What does the potato do in this recipe and if it has a purpose, is there possibly a substitute, as Iโ€™ve recently learned I cannot have โ€œregularโ€ potatoes ๐Ÿฅ”

    Hey there,
    I am absolutely thrilled to find a tomato soup recipe that comes so highly rated! I only have one problem, my son can’t eat potato… If I omit, will this make a big difference? Is there a replacement that you suggest?
    Sincerely appreciate any responses and will be visiting here again! <3

      Terra, I have the same issue. Did you try this without the potato? Can he have sweet potato? Wondering how that would affect the texture.

    I really enjoyed making this, I suffer with a Lactose Intolerance and used Lactose Free cream by Arla and it made it 100 times better with the 75ml cream as I love creamy products. HOWEVER even without the cream it was still super creamy, my partner was shocked that cream wasn’t originally used the first time it was made. In Love with the recipe, thank you for sharing this.

    I make this soup ALOT!!! It is delicious and you don’t miss the cream of typical cream soups. The only thing I add is cajun seasoning…we like it spicy! I have also used beef broth if it’s all I have.

    Help
    I noticed that there aren’t any posts recently so I hope that this is able to be answered. Has anyone ever omitted the potato? Or added sweet potato instead? I cannot have white potato and was also thinking about adding garbanzo beans…I use them alot for added protein and for a little creamy substitution but really would love some other ideas…?
    Many thanks
