This light, yet insanely flavorful keto roasted tomato & garlic soup is sure to be a favorite with my fellow tomato soup lovers! In addition to being delicious, this low carb tomato soup is also dairy free, egg free, nut free, Paleo and even Whole 30 compliant!
Cold winter days just beg for a steaming bowl of comforting and flavorful soup, amiright? Sometimes you want a hearty and rich stew, like my keto beef stew, while other times you may be in the mood for a lighter soup that’s not so heavy. That’s where this delicious keto roasted tomato & garlic soup comes in.
Because winter tomatoes are usually sad and mostly tasteless, I chose to roast them, along with some cloves of peeled garlic for this soup. The flavors mellow and deepen with roasting so that the soup, though relatively light, has a bright intensity that requires no extra garnishes or herbs to make it interesting.
To boost the flavors in this keto roasted tomato & garlic soup, I added some anchovy paste (it doesn’t taste fishy I promise,) bay leaves, and a dash of ground nutmeg to the broth while simmering.
A splash of apple cider vinegar at the very end gives the soup a mouthwatering quality that keeps you coming back for more and more and more. Fortunately, this keto roasted tomato & garlic soup is low in calories, so you can have a pretty substantial serving without doing damage to your macros.
As is, this keto roasted tomato & garlic soup is Paleo and Whole 30 friendly, with no dairy in sight. If dairy isn’t a problem for you though, and you prefer a richer, creamier soup, you could absolutely add a pat of butter, a splash of heavy cream, and/or a spoonful of mascarpone cheese to make it thicker and more decadent.
