Paleo Tomato Soup with Plantain Croutons

Flavorful and delicious, this paleo tomato soup gets natural sweetness from carrots, and is the perfect Whole30 tomato soup for a cool or rainy day.  Ready in 30 minutes or less, it makes for a quick lunch or dinner!

Soup season is near, and I couldn’t be more excited!  There’s nothing better on a cool day than a bowl of hot soup, and we are finally getting some cooler weather here in Kansas City.  Yay for soup weather!  I enjoy SO many different kinds of soup, but tomato is one of my favorites.  What I love about this soup is it can be ready in 30 minutes or less, so if a soup craving hits, I can easily whip this up in a timely manner.  I’m not super patient, especially when I’m hungry, so quick recipes are helpful. 🙂

While I grew up on canned tomato soup and enjoyed it, homemade is SO much better.  Trust me on this one!  Adding carrots really helps balance out the acidic tomatoes, so don’t skip that step.  It also adds some extra beta-carotene, which is always nice.  Who couldn’t use some extra beta-carotene in their lives?  It’s great for our eyes, skin, and immune system.  With cold and flu season almost upon us, I need all the help I can get!

What to serve with this Whole30 Tomato soup:

I love serving it along with plantain croutons, but it goes equally well with paleo bread, crackers – these from Simple Mills are the BEST!, or even a side of roasted veggies. It would also be wonderful served with a dip and cassava chips – this is my favorite Spinach Artichoke Dip, and these paleo-friendly dipping chips are great!

Tips for making this Paleo Tomato Soup:

• Don’t leave out the carrots, they add a wonderful sweetness. If you don’t have carrots, butternut squash or sweet potato would work well.
• I get my organic chicken base from costco, and it adds really great flavor but is not 100% paleo (it has cane sugar and maltodextrin), SO if you choose to leave it out just add a little more salt and pepper for flavor.
• If you have an immersion blender, I highly recommend blending this soup up until it is smooth. You could also transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth, just be careful as it will be hot!
