I make one or two soups each week. I just love soup. Usually you can make them solely with pantry ingredients or from what you can unearth from your vegetable bin. Even in summer soup satisfies. This is a super quick, full-of-flavor tomato-based soup. I served this alongside baked, lemony tofu, fresh whole wheat pita wedges and a huge mound of guacamole.
Thai Tomato Soup
Serves 4
1-2 tbsp. vegetable broth or Bragg Liquid Aminos
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 tbsp. minced fresh ginger (a microplane works wonders)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 tsp. agave nectar
1 tsp. chile garlic paste
salt, to taste
1/3 cup light coconut milk, plus more for drizzling
cilantro, chopped
lime wedges
In a medium-sized soup pot, saute the onion in vegetable broth or Bragg Liquid Aminos until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Stir in agave nectar, chile paste and salt. Remove pot from heat and let sit for about 5 minutes.
Using a blender or immersion blender, process the soup until smooth. Return pureed soup to the pot and add the coconut milk, warming soup for a few minutes. Divide soup among four bowls, drizzle with coconut milk, sprinkle with chopped cilantro and pass out the lime wedges.
Very inventive Ann and so true about soup – it is such a good fridge/pantry cleaner! I love tomato soup, this twist looks great!
This looks so great! I love any soup with coconut milk in it. I will definitely make this with some garden tomatoes later in the summer.
Wow! not only does that soup look amazing, the pita, guacamole and tofu are stunning.
I LOVE soup too!
Excited to try this one
When are you going to make a cookbook. That would make it so much easier for me, heck, easier for all of us!!!
Aren’t soups the best? I love your addition of ginger and chile garlic paste- they really take the classic tomato soup to the next level! Yum!
This soup looks so beautiful! I love the presentation with the coconut milk swirled on top. With the tofu and guacamole on the side, it looks like such a healthy and filling meal!
Yum, yum, yum…..my taste buds are tantalized!
Yay! I could eat soup every day! This version looks amazing! Copying it to a recipe card now!!!
I love the tomato-based soup with Thai flavors! And guacamole goes with everything.
Wow. That looks perfect for today. We’ve got cold rain today, so I’ve been sitting here thinking about what kind of soup might win universal approval with my clan.
I’m a fan of that mound of gauc…
I agree with everyone else, this soup looks wonderful. I am also a big soup fan, I think it’s the secret to a long and happy life.

We definitely do soups in summer too! It’s one of the best solutions to the daily dinner conundrum.

I love soup
Here in Portugal people usually eat vegetable soup everyday for dinner or lunch (before the main dish)…
And your soup looks really good, maybe I’m going to try this recipe
Love the Thai Mexican Mediterranean fusion going on here! Delicious.
I love soup too, especially chilled ones in the summer. And I love, love, LOVE the idea of serving the tofu, guac and pita along side! You’re brilliant!
Tomato soup is one of my favorite. This looks yummy!
I don’t think I’ve been getting notices when your blog posts. Boo! Bright side: I came looking for you
Ooh, it’s winter down here at the moment and this looks like the perfect thing to warm us up! I especially love the guacamole on the side idea, yummo!
Never thought about adding Thai flavours to a tomato soup…. love it
I can eat soup anytime but my husband doesn’t love to eat in in Summertime! Maybe I can convince him with this tasty Thai soup! Looks scrumptious!
Looks delicious! BTW, I love the serving pieces.
Wow! So delicious looking!
This is now officially my go-to summer soup. When you posted it and I saw all my favorite flavors in one beautiful bowl, I literally went to the kitchen and pulled out a pot. Excellent recipe – thank you!
This soup sounds lovely. Can’t go wrong with tomatoes, cilantro, and coconut!
