This tomato soup is a 2 in 1 recipe which is saves on time. All you need to do is add all of the ingredients to your Vitamix and it's pureed into a velvety smooth warm soup. Low carb, tasty, simple and ready in under 10 minutes.

Let's face it most soup recipes that are homemade and made from scratch tend to be time consuming which can be off putting for many of us.

I love cooking but I'm human in the sense that there are times where I just want to be in and out of the kitchen in a matter of times.

Take this Vitamix tomato soup for example, this recipe is an adapted short cut of my Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup.

Although, it's not the exact same recipe that's where I drew my inspiration from.

If you have already made the aforementioned soup then you will enjoy this one and appreciate just how quick it is to prepare.

It take less than 10 minutes, you don't even need to do any prep work unless you want to chop/peel the carrot and celery. Even that won't take more than 2-3 minutes.

The Vitamix

You're probably wondering, why use the Vitamix to make this recipe? Good question. Well first of all this isn't a sales pitch or anything of that nature.

I want to make things easier for you, if you have a Vitamix (Blendtec works too). Both of these power blender have the capability of heating up soup due to the friction of the blades.

That's pretty genius, don't you think? No need to transfer the pureed soup to the a saucepan and heat it on the stove, it's all done in one unit.
