15 Minute, Creamy VEGAN Tomato Soup with Coconut and Ginger – a quick and easy tomato soup recipe made with simple pantry ingredients.
After a long snowy walk, all bundled up in woolly mittens, scarves and hats and snow boots, both Brian and I were cold and hungry and craving something warm and quick to put in our bellies. Our fridge was rather sparse, after being gone on a trip, so I dug through the pantry and pulled out a few things we had on hand- and this creamy vegan Tomato Soup happened.
Luckily I had a can of tomatoes, a few shallots, a knob of ginger and a few garlic cloves to give it a little flavor. Coconut milk added the creamy richness, and for texture, a little of the Peanut Chili Crunch I had from a while back. And 15 minutes later, my husband declared it “delicious!”.
So there you have it, a creamy vegan Tomato Soup with Coconut and Ginger that can be whipped up in just 15 minutes. So easy, so yummy!
This vegan tomato soup recipe is also gluten-free and keto friendly!
Here is the Peanut Chili Crunch that we put on everything from stir-fries to curries to soup and stews to add crunchy texture and a boost of flavor and heat!
But feel free to leave this off or use croutons, or toasted seeds or nuts.
Garnish the creamy tomato soup with something green- like scallions, parsley or cilantro.
This recipe for tomato soup makes about 4 cups of soup- so a small batch, perfect for one or two people!
Fast and flavorful, this pantry meal comes together so quickly and easily! Give this creamy vegan Tomato Soup with Coconut and Ginger a try this week!

I wanted to add that I used crushed pepitas instead of peanuts because of the peanut sensitivity of one of my family members. Btw, I used organic coconut cream for its richness.
I put an Asian spin on this by adding Kaffir limes, lemongrass, and white pepper. Starting with homemade veggie stock, I also added shiitake mushrooms, used a whole 6oz can of tomato paste, fresh Thai chilis, chopped poblano pepper, Thai basil, and unrefined coconut oil for body. Served with a side of shirataki noodles, garnished with scallions, sprouts, lime wedges, nanami togarshi, and fresh Thai basil leaves, this was a hit for even the meat eaters! Thanks! Tomato and coconut just pair so well!
Perfect, love it!
I’ve made this soup countless times now, it’s so delicious! I usually add extra ginger, garlic, and spices and drop the water to make it heartier. So glad I found this 🙂
