    I'm trying to share more every day easy recipes with you and this Mexican-style tomato soup is perfect if you want a healthy, warm, comforting meal and just have 15 or 20 minutes to cook.

    It's made with ingredients I always have in my kitchen: garlic (I'm Spanish so I LOVE garlic so much!), onion, cilantro (or any other fresh or dried herb you've got handy), extra virgin olive oil, coconut milk (another plant milk will work too or even vegetable broth or water), tomatoes (canned or fresh), Piquillo peppers (they're typical Spanish, but you can use roasted red peppers as well), red chili pepper (optional), salt and black pepper. Feel free to add other veggies or spices.

    You don't need special equipment to make this soup, just a large pot and a blender. Although it's ready in 15 or 20 minutes, you can cook it longer over medium heat and it will be more tasty, but you'll probably need to add more liquid.

    As I love chunky soups, I usually add tortilla chips, chopped raw veggies, lime or lemon juice and sometimes I also add thinly sliced tofu (I heat some extra virgin olive oil in a skillet and cook the tofu until golden brown on both sides), so delicious!

      Sounds delicious. Could I leave this not blended?

        Hi Amy! I prefer my soup blended, but if you like the consistency before blending it, it's totally fine 🙂

      This recipe is very easy to make but tastes amazing. I love it with vegan garlic croutons. The pot will last me a whole week and is very affordable. Thanks so much!

      I've tried this recipe before and it was delicious. I wanted to make it again tomorrow and realized I have everything except the red chili pepper (I know, the most important part). I do have a serrano chili pepper, do you think that would work?

      I absolutely have always hated tomato soup, but your photos just made this look too delicious to pass. Plus, it's so easy to make!

      Mmm! I just made this with a few tweaks: about 6 large cloves of garlic, added chopped tomatoes with the onion, garlic, and peppers, doubled the cumin, canned tomato with chilies (didn't have just diced tomato), and simmered for about 30 minutes. Just blended this, and it tastes absolutely amazing. Great as a soup or even on top of pasta with some veggies.

      Thank you so much for your recipes! I plan on making several more next.

      I appreciate any vegan recipes you post. I am fairly new to veganism, but one thing I know for sure is I don't like the fake meat options. Too processed!
