Blender tomato soup with canned tomatoes
This easy blender tomato soup is made with canned whole tomatoes, meaning it can even be made in the deep, dark days of winter.
I prefer whole tomatoes (San Marzano if you can find them) or simple roma tomatoes over diced because they have a sweeter flavor and are less processed since they don't go through the dicing process. Canned tomatoes I recommend:

Fresh tomatoes for blender tomato soup
If it is summer time and your garden is bursting with fresh tomatoes, by all means, use those! Nothing beats fresh ingredients in any recipe. I recommend steaming or boiling them and removing the skin for a smooth and creamy soup.
You can also roast fresh tomatoes to give them more flavor my cutting them in half, placing them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet drizzling with olive oil (fresh herbs if you like) and baking at 400 degree F for about 15 minutes.
How to make blender tomato soup recipe (vitamix)
This is probably the easiest soup recipe you will ever make! It comes together in minutes, tastes amazing, and it is made with good wholesome ingredients.
- Place the tomatoes (with their juices), broth, shallot, garlic, thyme, basil, and tomato paste in a blender (use a high-speed blender, such as a Vitamix, if you have one). Season with salt and pepper.
2. Turn the machine on and gradually and increase the speed reaching high speed. Blend until completely smooth (about one to two minutes). If using a Vitamix, continue blending until the soup is hot and heavy steam escapes from the lid plug, about 6 minutes (or, turn on the soup setting).
3. After the soup is hot add heavy cream (to taste) to the soup. A little cream goes a long way! If using a high-speed blender, blend until warmed through, about 5 seconds.
4. Serve hot with freshly grated parmigiano cheese and extra pepper, if desired. Enjoy!
Hint: This soup can be completely blended AND cooked in a VITAMIX(!!). If you don't have one you can blend it up in a regular blender or food processor then simmer the soup on the stove.
Using a regular blender and stove top method:
If you’re using a regular blender, transfer the soup to a pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Then add heavy cream and stir for another few minutes.
Substitutions
There is only a swirl of heavy cream in this recipe. If you are dairy free you can use cashew cream, or other non-dairy milks.
Variations
Try this recipe as is the first time you make it and try a variation the next time you try it.
- Spicy - add chili pepper flakes to add some heat to the soup.
- Deluxe - add some caramelized onions, sautéed onions, or extra minced garlic for more flavor.
- Kid friendly - make a delicious grilled cheese sandwich with classic cheddar cheese and your kids will run to grab a bowl of tomato soup to dip it!

Vitamix blender soup
The Vitamix is one of my favorite appliances.
It’s powerful enough to make everything from nut butter, dips, and smoothies to hot soups and batters.
The best part is you don’t even have to transfer the soup to the stove. If you blend the tomato soup for several minutes, it heats it for you. It is perfect for this easy vitamix tomato soup recipe.
Just dump in the ingredients, turn it on, and let friction do the work for you. This soup gets a rich, creamy texture from the emulsion of olive oil and tomatoes. You don't even have to add cream if you are sensitive to dairy.
Storage
Store the soup in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in microwave or stove top- stirring occasionally while heating.
What to serve with blender tomato soup (vitamix)
This soup pairs well with a homemade pesto grilled cheese. Use homemade pesto and mozzarella cheese to make a twist on a grilled cheese sandwich. I promise dunking this pesto grilled cheese in this tomato soup is sensational!
My children prefer a pesto and mozzarella grilled cheese to the traditional. I hope you can try it too!
Top tip
- Use quality ingredients! The better the quality the better the soup will taste. Use fresh herbs and a good brand of canned tomatoes- as suggested.
