This light, yet insanely flavorful keto roasted tomato & garlic soup is sure to be a favorite with my fellow tomato soup lovers! In addition to being delicious, this low carb tomato soup is also dairy free, egg free, nut free, Paleo and even Whole 30 compliant!
Cold winter days just beg for a steaming bowl of comforting and flavorful soup, amiright? Sometimes you want a hearty and rich stew, like my keto beef stew, while other times you may be in the mood for a lighter soup that’s not so heavy. That’s where this delicious keto roasted tomato & garlic soup comes in.
Because winter tomatoes are usually sad and mostly tasteless, I chose to roast them, along with some cloves of peeled garlic for this soup. The flavors mellow and deepen with roasting so that the soup, though relatively light, has a bright intensity that requires no extra garnishes or herbs to make it interesting.
To boost the flavors in this keto roasted tomato & garlic soup, I added some anchovy paste (it doesn’t taste fishy I promise,) bay leaves, and a dash of ground nutmeg to the broth while simmering.
A splash of apple cider vinegar at the very end gives the soup a mouthwatering quality that keeps you coming back for more and more and more. Fortunately, this keto roasted tomato & garlic soup is low in calories, so you can have a pretty substantial serving without doing damage to your macros.
As is, this keto roasted tomato & garlic soup is Paleo and Whole 30 friendly, with no dairy in sight. If dairy isn’t a problem for you though, and you prefer a richer, creamier soup, you could absolutely add a pat of butter, a splash of heavy cream, and/or a spoonful of mascarpone cheese to make it thicker and more decadent.
Light and tasty as is, this keto roasted tomato & garlic soup is perfect for a snack, or to accompany a keto friendly muffin or sandwich.
As an added bonus, this keto roasted tomato & garlic soup also makes a great base for other more complex soups.
You can customize this low carb tomato soup in a huge variety of ways by adding cooked meats, cauliflower rice, or even seafood for a chowder vibe.

Frankie D. says
We made this as part of our SCKC 30 day challenge meal plan. We doubled the recipe, made no alterations and its tasty.
It’s a tad thin, so we eat it with half a diced avocado.
Thanks again for this amazing recipe!!

You had me at anchovy paste! I love it in so many things! Tomato soup is one of my favorites; I can’t wait to try this!
SK says
Looks delicious! I’ll have to try without the anchovy paste though because of allergies.
Karen Jaras says
I grow my own tomatoes so I cannot wait to make my own tomato soup. Glad to see it is dairy free, but I will try it without the anchovy paste as my husband is allergic.

Cheryl says
I was just wondering if we could thick the tomato soup ? I’m not sure what i could use so I don’t change the flavor of it.

Lyla Hoffman says
There are a couple of things you can try in order to thicken the soup with out adding anything to it. You can add more roasted tomatoes, reduce the amount of liquid, or cook longer to reduce the liquid. Just my thoughts.
