    Syn Free Cream of Tomato Soup

    Make up a big pot of this delicious Cream of Tomato Soup - a perfect recipe for the whole family.

    Slimming Eats - Syn Free Cream of Tomato Soup - gluten free, vegetarian, Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly

    My kids love soup, so I make up a pot regularly, it's a great way of getting vegetables or speed foods into fussy ones (adults and children).

    I don't know about you, but cream of tomato soup, always brings back childhood memories for me. It's a soup I would eat regularly, great when you feel poorly but usually served with thick white bread spread with lashings of butter. Unfortunately the latter isn't something I can entertain anymore. I mean yes you could actually have it if you synced it, but for me, bread and butter is my weakness. I can't stop at just one or two slices, so for that reason I tend to avoid it altogether.

    "But you can't have a bowl of cream of tomato soup without something to dunk into it", I hear you say and that is very true, but there are so many other options for turning that little bowl of soup into something more filling. If you have a healthy extra b spare, you could make a nice sandwich to go with it, but lets face it, most of us have used are healthy extra b choice in the morning for breakfast, so we don't have one spare at lunch time.

    Other things you can do, is top with some protein. I love adding shredded cooked chicken to the top of my soup or even some sliced cooked sausages. But a really great things is this delicious Cheesy Garlic Cauliflower Bread, it is cheesy and garlicky and just perfect for dunking in this delicious Cream of Tomato Soup.

    But how do you get  soup creamy while still keeping it syn free? Well I have recently been using cottage cheese in lots of recipes and this comes from someone who hates cottage cheese as it is, with all those curds. Bleurgh!! It's isn't something that appeals to me.

    However, if you blend, so that it is smooth,  it tastes lovely and creamy and is perfect for sweets/desserts or for adding a little bit of creaminess to savoury dishes. I actually prefer it to quark, as it doesn't have that sour taste like quark does. Plus quark is pretty hard to get here in Canada anyway, there is only one store I have found that stocks it, and they don't always have some. So this works out as a perfect alternative for those of you who live out of the UK who struggle to find quark.

    For the tomato part of the soup, I use a mixture of canned crushed tomatoes and fresh grape tomatoes. I recommend not skipping the fresh tomatoes, as they just make any sauce or soup taste so much better in my opinion. Canned Tomatoes tend to be acidic in taste because of how they have been preserved, but fresh tomatoes when cooked are lovely and sweet and so they compliment this Cream of Tomato Soup perfectly.

    I also add as little bit of Sukrin Gold ( a natural brown sugar sweetener with no aftertaste and my preferred choice when making baked goods or wanting to sweeten things). Up until my discover of this, I would just use honey or maple syrup and syn it, as I hate that aftertaste that certain sweeteners can have, but this really does taste good.

    To blend my soup so that it is really smooth, I use my Nutri Ninja Blender with Auto IQ (click to see me on amazon). This blender is amazing. The auto iq technology feature, mean it blends to a set pattern depending on what it is your are making, so my soups are lovely and smooth and perfect.

    This soup can be made stove top or in an Instant Pot (which is a multi function Pressure Cooker and one of my most used kitchen items). This is one of the best things I have ever bought and I use it almost daily in one way or another.

    It is basically a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute’s, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven’t tried that yet). Hey I even cook my boiled eggs in this, you should see how effortlessly they peel.

      What are grape tomatoes please?

    4. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      June 27, 2017 at 9:56 am

      similar to cherry tomatoes, but shaped like a grape 🙂

      Omg ... I hate cottage even in quiche ... but I gave this a go and I am sooo glad I did ... it's absolutely yummy .. I used cherry tomatoes as I wasn't sure what grape tomatoes were ... once I dished it up I added a splash of Worcester sauce .. thankyou siobhan this is another that will be made regularly x

    6. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      June 29, 2017 at 10:31 am

      So glad you enjoyed it Shelley - Cherry Tomatoes are almost the same, the grape ones are just shaped like grapes. You could actually use any size tomatoes really as long as it's the same quantity, that was all I had in at the time.

      Nicest tomato soup I've ever had, there's no way I'm buying a tin of Heinz again!!

      Absolutely love this soup. Bit of a glut of yellow plum tomatoes in the garden which are extra sweet so I left out the sweetener. I find this recipe much tastier than the SW one with the baked beans (personally I find that one a bit of a waste of baked beans!) And absolutely love the idea of using the cottage cheese to make it creamy. Works a treat. Thank you. x

      How long will this soup last in the fridge?

    13. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      March 19, 2018 at 7:34 pm

      Hi Perri - it should be okay for 3-4 days

      Can this be frozen ?

    15. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      April 21, 2018 at 7:55 am

      It sure can - enjoy

    16. Jen says

      September 16, 2018 at 1:18 pm

      Hey, can this be reheated in the microwave after being frozen? Should I leave the cottage cheese out? Thanks 🙂

    17. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      September 20, 2018 at 8:51 pm

      it's fine to add the cottage cheese and reheating.

    18. Anita Huckle says

      October 30, 2018 at 8:46 am

      Made this yesterday and just reheated and had a bowl full.......Absolutely delicious. Thought I’d never replace my also yummy leek & potato but now I’ll be in a quandary as to which to make

    19. Jess says

      January 06, 2019 at 4:57 pm

      I'd really like to try this! Can you make this in a soup maker?

    20. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      January 07, 2019 at 9:43 am

      Hi Jess, I don't own a soup maker, so unfortunately can't say how it will turn out, but I should think it will be okay 🙂

    21. Lesley Gordon says

      January 19, 2019 at 4:37 pm

      Can’t get cottage cheese in Turkey where I live - could I use plain quark instead?

    22. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      January 20, 2019 at 12:44 pm

      you can certainly give it a try 🙂

    23. Lynne preece says

      June 20, 2019 at 10:30 am

      I made this today. Although I blended it well it did have some small tomato pips in, which tasted bitter when you ate them, so I put it through the fine sieve, much better. I also had to use 0% greek yogurt as my cottage chess had gone off - eek. Anyway it was lovely and will definitely make it again.

    24. Gemma says

      September 22, 2019 at 10:35 am

      If I use quark or yougurt do you think you can still freeze and reheat thanks

    25. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      September 25, 2019 at 10:32 am

      I haven't tested it with quark or yoghurt so couldn't say how it will turn out, do let me know if you try.

    26. Stacy says

      October 12, 2019 at 7:42 am

      Do i have to skin the grape tomatoes?

    27. Lisa says

      October 19, 2019 at 9:59 am

      I have just made this using cherry tomatoes and quark. It tastes well yummy. Even hubby likes 🙂

    28. Donna Hitchmough says

      October 23, 2019 at 8:05 am

      Definitely the best tomato soup I've ever made, love the creamy yet tomatoey flavour. It's delicious!

    29. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      November 18, 2019 at 3:32 pm

      nope they can just be added in as they are.

    30. Denise says

      February 28, 2020 at 1:48 pm

      Made 1/2 a batch of this tonight as I wasn’t sure if I’d like it. I needn’t have worried, it was lush!
      I used large tomatoes which I chopped up and it blended brilliantly smooth. Fabulous, thank you

    31. Karen says

      July 22, 2020 at 2:32 pm

      This soup is delIcious, not at all bitter like some home made tomato soups are. Another great slimming eats recipe.

    32. Marnie says

      February 20, 2021 at 7:09 am

      Could this be made in a soup maker?

      I don't own a soup make unfortunately, so you would need to try it yourself.
