As much as I would love to take credit for this recipe, I can’t. My husband worked on this baby until he finally felt it was perfect to share.
Raw Vegan Creamy Tomato Soup
So here it is! Our raw creamy tomato soup; inspired by our used-to-be favorite roasted red pepper creamy tomato box soup. The one we use to buy before we were introduced to the raw vegan lifestyle. May I say that I don’t really remember what the soup tasted like but this version is so filling, it kicks that craving to the curb, every time? Now, all we need is the raw vegan grilled cheese sandwich. Is anyone up for the challenge?
This recipe is so easy, I use it when I’m super busy and don’t want to make a big mess in the kitchen. The family loves it and clean up is a breeze, less work for me. It’s a win-win! Give it a try and share it with family & friends.

Tomatoes are an excellent source of antioxidants, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are low in calories and fat content and have zero cholesterol. They are also a great source of lycopene and beta-carotene which increases vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E intake in the body. Lycopene has been known to protect the skin from ultra-violet (UV) rays, offering some defense against skin cancer and taking part in maintaining proper vision, healthy mucus membranes, as well as skin and bone health.
They are known to also reduce the risk of other cancers, including colon, prostate, breast, and pancreatic tumors.
- Raw tomatoes are a great source of potassium which is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps control heart rate and blood pressure caused by sodium.
- Cooked tomatoes have higher amounts of lycopene and other phytochemicals your body needs. So while raw tomatoes have a higher amount of vitamins and minerals, cooked has higher properties of antioxidants. Both are needed.
