- Cherry tomatoes - I use red cherry tomatoes but you could use other colours of cherry tomatoes. Instead of cherry tomatoes you can also use grape tomatoes or baby tomatoes.
- Coconut milk - I recommend using full fat coconut milk.
- Coconut oil - you could use olive oil or avocado instead.
- Seasonings and spices - dried basil, salt and pepper are the only spices you need.
How to make cherry tomato soup:
- Step 1: Place all the ingredients into a high speed blender.
- Step 2: Blend everything well until smooth.
- Step 3: Transfer the soup to a medium sized pot and place it on the stovetop on medium heat.
- Step 4: Allow the soup to come to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 5-10 minutes, until it's warmed throughout. Then serve and enjoy!
Top tips:
- You will need a large blender to blend this soup. If you have a smaller blender you can blend it in batches instead.
- If you prefer a chunky cherry tomato soup then don't fully blend the ingredients or leave a few tomatoes out of the blender and add them to the pot whole.
Cherry tomato soup FAQs:
I never heat anything in plastic (including in my blender). Studies have shown that when you heat food in plastic, the plastic can release harmful chemicals into your food.
Yes! Don't worry about peeling the skin off your tomatoes when making this soup.
Yes it is.

Colleen it's so great to hear from you! I love finding other people nearby who have similar food beliefs (trust me I know we are few and far between). The AIP can be tough but stick with it! I have seen patients have amazing results with that diet alone. Thanks for the comments 🙂

I'm with you on the leggings thing, Erin! And I must say, your soup photo is gorgeous! My daughter and I are going through the AIP elimination right now and this post really makes me miss a good home made tomato soup 🙁 Anyway, I recently subscribed to your blog and was pleasantly surprised to realize that you live in Calgary...I'm in Cochrane and so happy to have someone local to connect with, whose food values are in line with mine 🙂 Looking forward to more of your great work!
