1 small carrot, diced (about 50g – don’t worry if it’s a little more or less)
2 celery stalks, diced (around 80g)
1 small onion, diced (about 70g, yellow or white works great!)
2 garlic cloves, minced (or more, if you’re a garlic fanatic like me!)
14 oz canned chopped tomatoes (400g – fire-roasted ones add a *kick*)
2 cups cherry tomatoes (300g – halved or quartered if they’re big)
5 cups chicken broth (1.2 liters – low sodium is best so you can control the salt)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped (12g – dried works in a pinch, but fresh is SO much better!)

How to Make Keto Tomato Soup: Step-by-Step Instructions

Okay, let’s get cooking! This keto tomato soup is so easy, you’ll be slurping down a bowl of deliciousness in no time. Just follow these steps, and you’re golden!

Sautéing the Vegetables for Keto Tomato Soup

First, heat up that olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the diced carrot, celery, and onion. Cook ’em for about 3-4 minutes, stirring now and then, until they soften up a bit – you don’t want them to brown! Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it smells amazing. Careful not to burn the garlic, or it’ll get bitter!

Simmering the Keto Tomato Soup

Now, dump in the canned and fresh tomatoes, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir and bring it to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, turn the heat down to low, pop a lid on (but leave it ajar!), and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Letting it simmer with the lid ajar helps the flavors meld together perfectly.

Blending the Keto Tomato Soup to Perfection

Time to get smooth! Carefully pour the soup into a blender – or use an immersion blender right in the pot (my favorite!). Blend until it’s silky smooth. Now, taste it and adjust the seasoning if needed. A little extra salt? A pinch of pepper? Maybe a dash of your favorite hot sauce? You’re the boss!

Tips for the Best Keto Tomato Soup

Want to take your **keto tomato soup** to the *next level*? Here are a few tricks I’ve learned over the years:

Taste, taste, taste! Seriously, season as you go. A pinch of salt here, a grind of pepper there – it makes a HUGE difference.
Don’t skimp on the olive oil. It adds so much flavor and richness, and it’s a healthy fat, so go for it!
Blend it like you mean it! If you want *truly* smooth soup, blend it for a good minute or two. No one likes chunky tomato soup (unless that’s your thing, then go for it!).
Quality ingredients, people! Good canned tomatoes, fresh basil – it all adds up. You’ll taste the difference!
