Tomato Bisque Soup

This recipe is the best plant-based tomato bisque you'll ever eat, loaded with veggies and herbs to make it thick and creamy, without heavy cream. 

What makes this tomato bisque soup so delicious?

This soup starts with whole organic canned tomatoes. Onions, carrots, and celery are added to give this soup a thick and hearty texture with a slightly sweet flavor. Fresh basil and rosemary give this soup an earthy note. Then it is finished off with oat milk instead of heavy cream, making this soup a healthier option than regular tomato bisque. 

Tomato Bisque Soup Ingredients

Tomatoes

Canned tomatoes contain iron and the antioxidant lycopene which is easier for your body to absorb due to the canning process. Tomatoes also contain vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium.

Carrots

Carrots contain beta carotene, biotin, vitamin K1, Potassium, B6, and fiber.  

Celery

Celery contains vitamin A, vitamin K, and vitamin C and is a good source of essential antioxidants. Celery can help reduce inflammation and support digestion. 

Onions

Onions are loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants. Red onions have been known to help lower bad cholesterol, promote cardiovascular health, reduce high blood pressure, and protect against cancer. 

Garlic

Garlic not only adds great flavor to foods but has excellent healing benefits. Throughout history, garlic has been used to treat various medical conditions. Garlic is packed full of vitamins and antioxidants and can help boost the immune system, and reduce cholesterol and heart disease.

Sweet Basil

Sweet basil contains vitamin A, vitamin K, calcium, iron, and manganese. Sweet basil doesn't just provide flavor but can help reduce stress and blood sugar levels. 

Rosemary

Rosemary is a healing herb, a good source of anti-inflammatory properties, and rich in antioxidants.

Olive oil

Olive oil is a healthy monounsaturated fat, and olive oil is full of antioxidants and may lower the risk of heart disease. Not to mention, olive oil contains anti-inflammatory properties. 

Immersion Blender

One of my favorite kitchen tools is an immersion blender. I use an immersion blender to make sauces, soups, and salad dressings, and it is a tool that is easy to use and clean. 

Immersion blenders can be used directly in a pot for soups and sauces or in a jar or bowl for salad dressings. 

If you do not have an immersion blender, you can easily use a standard blender for this recipe. If using a standard blender, be sure to follow the directions for blending hot ingredients at the bottom of the recipe.
