High-Protein Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe

Introduction

This high-protein tomato soup is a comforting and nutritious option for any meal. Made with fresh tomatoes and creamy Greek yogurt, it’s both satisfying and simple to prepare.

Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups vegetable broth

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down, about 10 minutes.
2. Step 2: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for an additional 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
3. Step 3: Remove the pot from heat and carefully blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender in batches.
4. Step 4: Stir in the Greek yogurt until fully combined. Heat gently if needed, but avoid boiling to preserve the yogurt’s creaminess.
5. Step 5: Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For extra protein, add cooked lentils or beans while simmering the soup.
• Use fire-roasted tomatoes for a smoky flavor twist.
• Replace Greek yogurt with sour cream or a dairy-free alternative if preferred.
• Add fresh basil or oregano during cooking for an herby note.

Storage

Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain a smooth texture. Avoid boiling after adding yogurt to prevent curdling.

FAQs

Can I use canned tomatoes instead of fresh?

Yes, canned tomatoes work well and make this recipe even quicker. Use about 28 ounces of canned tomatoes, preferably whole peeled or diced.

Is this soup suitable for a vegetarian or vegan diet?

This recipe is vegetarian, but not vegan due to the Greek yogurt. To make it vegan, substitute the yogurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut yogurt or cashew cream.
