Can you think of a cozier meal than tomato soup on a cold day? A little sweet, a little tangy, tomatoes add balanced flavor to recipes like soups and sauces. But when you’re on a low-sodium diet, things like soups and sauces might be off the table because they often contain high levels of sodium.

Use this recipe as a base and add whatever other spices, herbs, topping, or flavors you’d like. This dish also works great as leftovers, so feel free to double the recipe to have some extra on hand.

How to Make Low Sodium Tomato Soup

Heat a medium-large pot over medium heat. Cook chopped onion until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another minute or so. 

Add the can of tomatoes, oregano, basil, and apple cider vinegar, and bring to a boil. Add the can of coconut milk and let it come back to a boil.

Once all the ingredients have boiled together for a few minutes, puree the soup to your desired texture using an immersion blender (or regular blender if you don’t have one). We like ours as smooth as possible, but whether you like your soup chunky or smooth, you do you.

This low-sodium tomato soup is completely vegan and made with simple ingredients. It goes perfectly with a vegan grilled cheese sandwich, some crunchy croutons or crackers on top, or eaten alongside your favorite protein.
