What Is the Difference Between Tomato Soup and Tomato Bisque?
Tomato Soup doesn't contain any seafood or dairy to make it creamy. However, in this recipe, I used coconut milk to enhance the flavors of the gluten free tomato soup.
Bisque is generally made with a stock from some sort of seafood. Such as lobster or crab.
If you would like to try a bisque and aren't living a Vegetarian or Vegan lifestyle, you can try my Lobster Bisque. It's quite tasty too.
What Is In This Vegan Tomato Soup?
I’m cheating with the tubes of ginger and garlic. I usually use fresh but I like these on hand for the days I’m running too fast to stop to savor the chopping and the mincing.
But here is what you'll need to round up before you start cooking:
- Full-Fat Coconut Milk
- Red Onion. chopped
- Tomatoes
- Cilantro
- Garlic
- Minced Ginger
- Kosher Salt
- Cayenne Pepper
- Turmeric
- agave nectar

I have tried a few tomato soup recipes and this was the first that tasted better than tinned tomato soup. Also, so quick to prepare - a real keeper.

My co-worker's tomato plants have exploded and we have been the beneficiaries of here overload. I I took the remaining tomatoes home on friday, but I had no real plans for them. It could have been that I ended up tossing them by the end of the weekend, but at least they weren't rotting on the table at work. Then along came this recipe. I was never a tomato soup person, till now. I made this yesterday. There are only 2 off us at home, but it's almost all gone already. So delicious!
