Sauté the Aromatics

Add Tomatoes and Broth

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth (or vegetable broth). Stir in the dried basil and oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Simmer and Blend

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Blend the Soup

Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth and creamy. Caution: Be careful when blending hot liquids.

Stir in Coconut Milk

Pour the blended soup back into the pot. Stir in the coconut milk until well combined. Heat gently over low heat, being careful not to boil.

Season and Serve

Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired. Serve hot.

FAQ

  • Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned?

    Yes, you can. Use about 3 pounds of fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
  • Can I freeze this soup?

    Yes, this soup freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or freezer bags. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Is there a substitute for coconut milk?

    While coconut milk provides the best creamy texture while staying dairy-free, you can try using cashew cream or almond milk for a less rich, but still acceptable, alternative.
