Easy Indian Spiced Tomato Soup (vegan/gluten-free)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I know there are a TON of tomato soup recipes out there, but I want to give you one more to have in your cooking arsenal! Mine is a little different and I think you will love it. This tomato soup recipe is easy, easy but with Indian spices and some spice from green chilis it tastes like you’ve spent all day letting it simmer.

Indian Spices

Let’s just get right into what might be the more complicated part of the recipe….the Indian spices. I realize that not everyone keeps specific spices around especially when they aren’t being used regularly. I do recommend using the spices I’ve listed in the recipe, but if you don’t want to look for them or can’t find them NO PROBLEM!

If you are willing to purchase some Indian spices then I suggest grabbing the garam masala. This is available on Amazon and other even at some larger grocers. Substitute 1.5 tablespoons of premade/store-bought garam masala for the cumin and coriander in the soup. This is a great sub because you can use that same garam masala powder for the croutons.

Curry powder is also an option. Note that both garam masala and curry powder have additional spices in the mix (curry powder also contains turmeric so the color of the soup will be more slightly more orange/brown) but I would use this as a good replacement for the cumin and coriander.

This soup is served with fried mustard seeds and garlic chips. Leave the mustard seeds out if you can’t find them! The croutons even be simply seasoned with salt and pepper.

Making the Soup

This soup gets its spice from Red Gold Tomato Love Diced Tomatoes + Green Chilis. Using Tomato Love is an easy way to get that punchy tomato flavor and some heat! I get so excited when there are easy ways to leave out a few steps in the cooking process especially when that means less chopping.

Start by heating some oil in a large soup pot or dutch oven. Add the ground spices to the oil so the flavors bloom and then add in all the tomatoes and broth. Season with salt and let that soup simmer away for about 25 minutes. Adjust the seasonings (adding sugar if needed to balance out any tartness from the canned tomatoes), stir in your coconut milk, and blend! The soup is done 🙂

As the soup simmers, bake your croutons and prepare your mustard seed and garlic topping. That’s really it…homemade tomato soup in about 30 minutes with all of the fun stuff included
