Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups ripe tomatoes (fresh or canned, chopped)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup plant-based cream
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the onions and mince the garlic finely. Chop fresh tomatoes into chunks, removing any tough stems to ensure maximum flavor extraction during slow cooking.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, vegetable broth, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, dried basil, thyme, and black pepper into the slow cooker. Stir gently to blend flavors.
  3. Cook on Low: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 6 to 8 hours. This slow simmer allows the tomatoes to break down and flavors to deepen, forming a rich base.
  4. Blend and Add Cream: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Stir in plant-based cream and natural gelling agent to add creaminess and perfect texture. Cook for another 15 minutes to combine well.
  5. Season and Serve: Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or extra herbs to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves or a drizzle of plant-based cream if desired.

Notes

  • Choose the ripest tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • Do not skip the apple cider vinegar; it brightens and balances the soup.
  • Blend thoroughly using an immersion blender for a smooth texture.
  • Add plant-based cream last to maintain smoothness and avoid curdling.
  • Cook on low heat for deep flavor development without scorching.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze soup in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat gently over low heat or microwave, stirring occasionally.
