Soup is one of the easiest meals to throw together and with the right flavor, it can seriously be one of the most satisfying meals. It is perfect for weight loss because you can get in all your veggies, it’s super low in calories and is so easy to switch up with different flavor combinations. This classic tomato soup is one of my favorite recipes of all time.
I would frequent this recipe when I was losing weight myself. It is so easy to make requiring just 5 ingredients! Plus, when paired with this low calorie grilled cheese, it is definitely one of the coziest meals you’ll ever have. I always get requests for more savoury recipes and tomato soup is one of the most DM request recipes I get!

One thing I don’t like about soup recipes is that you end up with so much leftover. Unless you’re cooking for a family, it just doesn’t make sense to make so much of it. Especially when you’re on a weight loss journey, you’re most likely cooking yourself separate meals. So of course I had to make this recipe single serve! However, if you do want to meal prep and have some leftovers for another day, you can easily multiply this recipe by however many servings you want!

Ingredients
Exact ingredient quantities can be found at the bottom of this page.
To make this low calorie tomato soup you will need:
Tomatoes – Any tomatoes you have to hand will work for this recipe. The fresher, the better your soup will taste! I used Jubilee vine tomatoes.
Garlic – Every soup tastes better with garlic, at least in my opinion. I used a whole head of a small garlic, but if you’re not a fan, you can use a few cloves or completely omit the garlic if you’d like.
Red bell pepper – I think roasted red bell pepper just takes tomato soup to the next level. It really blends all of the flavors together.
Onion – Again, onions just belong in all soup recipes. They’re such a classic flavor to cook with. I used a whole small onion.
Olive oil – To roast the veggies.
Basil – No soup recipe is complete without basil!
Vegetable stock – I used vegetable stock to blend the soup. You can use chicken or any type of stock you would like to though.
Seasoning to taste – Seasonings can make or break your soup. I went for a delicate blend of herbs, black pepper and a little paprika!
Oat milk – This is optional but if you like a creamy soup, oat milk is the way to go. I prefer it to cream not only because it has fewer calories but because it genuinely tastes better!
