Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup plant-based cream (e.g., oat or cashew cream)
- 1 teaspoon smoked turkey bacon flavor (natural)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
Instructions
- Prepare Aromatics: Gently sauté the diced onion and minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until softened and fragrant, unlocking their natural sweetness to form a flavorful base for the soup.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the sautéed aromatics to the slow cooker. Add the chopped fresh tomatoes, vegetable broth, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, pepper, dried basil, smoked turkey bacon flavor (natural), and natural gelling agent. Stir to combine.
- Slow Cook: Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, allowing the tomatoes to fully break down and infuse the broth with rich flavor and vibrant color.
- Blend and Add Cream: Once cooking is complete, use an immersion blender or carefully transfer the soup to a blender and puree until silky smooth. Return the soup to the slow cooker, then stir in the plant-based cream until the desired creamy texture is achieved.
- Taste and Adjust: Stir the soup well, then taste and adjust seasonings by adding more salt, pepper, or vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) if needed. Warm the soup for an additional 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe tomatoes for the sweetest and richest flavor.
- Do not skip the natural gelling agent for a beautiful body and silky texture.
- Cook on low heat for the best melding of flavors and natural thickening.
- If blending in a separate blender, let the soup cool slightly to avoid splatter.
- Add plant-based cream gradually to reach your preferred creaminess.
