You will need
Soup maker - This bestselling one from Morphy Richards has simple, one-step operations and makes delicious soup, in as little as 21 minutes. See more details at Amazon.
Vegetable chopper - This top-rated, multi-function one comes with everything you need to chop, slice, dice, peel and juice veggies. See more details at Amazon.
Tips
This recipe makes two adult portions or four toddler portions. Kids love this and it's a great way of getting extra veg into your children's diet.
Kids will enjoy helping you to wash the veg - older kids can help with chopping, too.
This recipe is ideal for vegans – and if you make sure to use a gluten-free bouillon, it's great for those with gluten sensitivity, too.
Variations
If you're not vegan and want a creamier texture, swirl in a dollop of thick cream just before serving – delicious!
Fancy a chunkier soup? Just don't blend it all the way! You can either skip the blending altogether, or just give it a quick burst to leave a few bits.
Want a more filling meal? Add some pasta and leftover veg for something a bit more substantial.

Great soup done in a blink:)
Guest
Love this! I added an extra half pint of water & 6 cherry tomatoes to stretch it for 2 meals, still tasted lovely, if I do say do myself :D
Guest
Really simple to make, healthy and delicious, had it with homemade garlic bread
Guest
THANK YOU just making it now
Guest
Thanks for the flag, we have added carrot into the ingredients list now
Guest
Looks like the carrot is missing from the ingredient list.
Guest
When it says add the carrot, should it say tomatoes, or is the carrot missing from the ingredient list?
Guest
I have just made this for the first time.It is so simple and tastes delicious.
Guest
Quick and easy to make. My 3 yr twin daughters loved it.
Guest

Guest
Thanks for posting this recipe. I made it today and it was delicious. I also used passata instead of tinned tomatoes and I didn't use any sugar.
Guest
Great recipe - really easy to make and was popular with the kids. Only had tin of plum tomatoes in the cupboard which was okay cause it all went in the blender!
Guest
This went down a treat with the family and friends. So easy to make and quick. Now my friends are queuing for the recipe :)
Guest
I tried this recipe today and it worked an absolute treat. Loved the finished result as did the family! Thank you will be trying some of the other recipes now x
Guest
I started with this easy recipe so that I couldn't go wrong. I was very pleased with my first homemade soup!!!! My baby loved it too. Now on to level 2!! :D

I tried this recipe yesterday and it went down very well with all. We found it to be a real winter warmer, and I think it's going to be a favourite all season. Lovely and hearty served with chunky bread.
Guest
It can be a pain getting the stringy bits out of tinned tomatoes, if the children fuss. I use Passata - usually quite cheap in supermarkets, or if you can afford it, M&S passata has a lot of texture. Definitely add basil!!!! Try also with chunky croutons - great for using up stale bread.

my kids arent usually soup lovers but after finding this simple recipe we made it together and they loved it with some crusty bread after a play in the park
Guest
Great idea as we usually have tinned ...but cracked on ot with it this morning took the kids swimming and they had something yummy and warming when we got back !!! Fab
Guest
love tomatoe soup, great recipe although i can never resist adding some basil
Guest
Soup is going down really well with my kids at the moment but I never thought of making it in a slow cooker .... this was lovely but I agree with adding the cream it makes it much thicker
Guest
I made this and it was lovely! It did make a lot so its ideal to freeze some of it for a later date :)
Guest
Just making this now ready for my little girls lunch tomorrow,smells nice and makes a huge amount.

Made this today and is so easy to do - I added a few herbs, black pepper and some tomoato pesto - very yummy!
Guest
Really easy to do, everyone loved it, made it again and did part water and part cream. Will keep doing this one.
Guest
I made this today and dont know where i went wrong! There was just no real taste to it - tried adding pepper, salt, basil but was still really bland! But I'm not the greatest cook anyway!
Guest
A lovely recipe and it makes a huge batch! We had it for lunch with some brown bread and it was a hit with everyone. Next time I think I'll add a few herbs probably some basil or oregano.
Guest
What a great recipe, went down a bit hit with my boys aged 6 and 2. Fantastic for getting veg down them. My husband and I enjoyed it too. Lovely sprinkled with cheese and black pepper, and served with crusty bread. Double the recipe and get plenty to freeze for a quick lunch or dinner.
Guest
Made this today and it was delicious! Have still got some left for lunch for me and my 10 month old daughter tomorrow and have frozen the rest :-) Great recipe, thanks!

Guest
Just made this and it was lovely, added some cherry tomatoes to it, as we had grown them this summer and had been in fridge for a while(about 2 punnets worth). And so added 2 more carrots, extra clove garlic and another pint of stock. Another great recipe from this site!!!

Thanks for this recipe, I'm going to give it a go this week, it's a good way to sneak a few veggies into the kids!
Guest
i tried this recipe today and have to say it was delicious. I too added cream (before id read the above comment!!) and it makes it divine! I also added some coarse ground black pepper and some basil. A real winner and so easy to make! I would recommend this to anyone attempting soup for the first time and old pro's!
Guest
Really nice, I tried it with 1 pint of water and 1/4 pint of cream instead of just water, gives it a creamy texture and is a winner for even the fussiest of kids!!
