How do I make this Easy Fire-Roasted Tomato Basil Soup?
In a large dutch oven or pot, melt butter over medium-high heat.
Add onion, garlic, basil, red pepper, salt pepper, sugar or sugar substitute, canned tomatoes, and chicken broth.
Stir until well combined.
Bring to a boil. Then cover and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes.
Remove from heat. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
Divide the soup into 3 servings. Blend each serving in a food processor or blender-until puréed.
I use the Ninja Food Processor and Blender that I absolutely love and recommend. You can find it HERE on Amazon.
( IMPORTANT: be sure to hold the lid tightly and with a hand towel to avoid getting splashed with the hot soup.)
Repeat for the other servings.
Pour puréed soup back into dutch oven or pot. Stir in fat free half and half or non fat plain Greek yogurt.
Tip: be sure the plain Greek yogurt is at room temperate when adding it tp the soup to avoid clumping.
Stir until combined.
Remove from heat and serve.
Serve with grilled cheese, my 2 Point Garlic Knots, as a side dish, appetizer, or by itself.

- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt

*Notes:
- You can use 2 tsp sugar or 2 tsp sugar substitute and use the fat free half and half or skim milk plus cornstarch-the overall point value per serving would be the same for either option. The amount of sugar which is minimal (2 points) and will not impact the overall point value for this recipe per serving.
- For the soup to be ZERO Freestyle Smart Points per serving you will need to use 1 cup non fat plain Greek yogurt and 2 tsp sugar substitute.
- If you can’t find FAT FREE half and half- you can use 1 cup skim milk mixed with 2 Tbsp cornstarch. Just whisk the cornstarch into the milk and you have yourself a great fat free half and half substitute
- Tip: be sure the plain Greek yogurt is at room temperate when adding it tp the soup to avoid clumping
- In order to calculate the freestyle smart points on a recipe you have to enter the ingredients in manually (by ingredient) not by the nutritional information in the ww recipe builder-since this recipe contains zero point items the app doesn’t realize there is zero point items in the recipe and will calculate it based only off the nutritional info which is not accurate.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container 7-10 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.

Just have to say thanks!!! I made your Fire Roasted Tomato Basil Soup…..it was SO good! Also paired it with your Garlic Knots….they were good too! I did eat two servings of the soup….and two knots. I’m stuffed! Thanks for always coming up with new and delicious recipes.
I do make a lot of your stuff…my all time favorite is the cheesecakes. They keep me happy!! Thanks again!!
Hi Linda
oh, you are so very welcome! That is so fantastic to hear- I’m so appreciative of the feedback! Thank you for sharing your review and for the amazing support.
Have a wonderful day!
i love most of your post it really helps me alot and i’ve improved in my cooking skills thanks too you my family loves what i make every day and i alway took recipes from here to make thanks 🙂
Another terrific recipe. I keep trying other ww recipes with mixed success. ALL of your recipes, on the other hand, have been so tasty and pretty easy to make. I made the tetrazzini one last week. It was so so good. Thanks for all you do for us ww followers.
Thank YOU Beth for your sweet comments. I truly appreciate the feedback and read every single comments and review and appreciate them so much! It makes sharing and creating them so enjoyable to know others are benefiting from them as well.
Have a wonderful night!
Linds
I used one and a half cups of fat free half and half and it didn’t affect the points for all you cream lovers. Also I did a store pick up order for my ingredients and they gave me salsa ready fire roasted tomatoes, which I didn’t notice until I was adding them to the soup. Sooo, the soup was still very good, but very spicy. Which is why I added more half and half, I was trying to turn down the heat!! It was still super good though! Thanks Pound dropper for saving our tomato soup and grilled cheese nights!
You mention using regular sugar in this recipe. Can you please tell me how many points this would be if I used regular sugar? Also how much would I use? We just got back from a trip to Vermont where we had a very similar soup. I can’t wait to make this. Thanks for all you do.
Hi Kristine,
Thank you for your comments. I hope you enjoy it.
Yes, the amount of sugar is 2tsp which is minimal (2 points) and will not impact the overall point value for this recipe per serving.
You can choose to use a white sugar substitute or just reals sugar.
Thank you so much
I made your wonderful soup today for lunch after church. It turned out absolutely delicious! I used the Trader Joe’s fire roasted tomatoes and I saw as I was adding then that they had green chili so it was nice and spicy but not over the top. Used the Costco brand of nonfat plain Greek yogurt and it was really good. Last year I had purchased an immersion blender and had never used it, so I put the soup in a Dutch oven and was able to use the immersion blender and it worked great! My husband and I love tomato basil soup, but normally there is way too much sugar in most recipes ( he is a diabetic) and commercial soups. This was delicious and we both really enjoyed it… also looking forward to the leftovers this week. Thank you Linds for your tireless effort’s and delicious recipes for all of us WW followers you have no idea how much we appreciate you!
Hi Eva,
Thank you for your wonderful comments. I’m so thrilled to hear you enjoyed it! Yes, an immersion blender is a great alternative to a blender or food processor!
You’re so very sweet, I’m truly grateful for your sweet support and for appreciating all the effort that goes into sharing and creating these recipes. It’s greatly appreciated!
Have a wonderful day!
I am making this right now! Can’t wait to try it. Can it be stored in the freezer? How long will it last in the fridge?
Hi Alexandra,
It will last 7-10 days in the fridge or can be placed in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Thanks so much!
Made this the other night! Just had the last portion with my 2 year old daughter today for lunch. We loved it!! Followed the recipe exactly until I used the immersion blender right in the pot. No transferring batches needed 🙂
Thank you for this recipe! Tomato soup is my favorite and the ones already made in the store have so much sodium and are a lot more points for just 1 cup. When I hook the points in on my WW app it comes out to 3pts per serving with the nutritional info you provided. Am I doing something wrong? Or how do I find it in the app?
Thank you for your help.
Hi Kim,
Yes, this recipe contains zero point ingredients so in order to calculate the correct points, you will need to input the recipe in the ww app recipe builder instead of using the nutritional information. Refer to the note section of this recipe: “In order to calculate the freestyle smart points on a recipe you have to enter the ingredients in manually (by creating a recipe in the recipe builder) not by the nutritional information. Since this recipe contains zero point items the app doesn’t realize there are zero point items in the recipe and will calculate it based only off the nutritional info which is not accurate.”
Thank you
Stop what your doing and make this soup RIGHT Now. I ha e tried a few different WW tomato soup recipes and I am not officially obsessed with this one. Even my cookee vegetables aversion boyfriend ate two bowls of it last night. Seriously, just go make this.
If I don’t have fresh basil, only dried basil leaves (seasoning), would I still do 1/2 c?
Thanks
I made this soup last night and YUMMMMMY! It was so good. I paired with a lightened version of grilled cheese. I love tomato basil soup, but I have found it to be pretty hight points usually, but this ZERO on Purple!? Wow. Thanks again.
I made this soup today and used an immersion blender. I added 1 c. Greek yogurt at the end. It turned out so delicious! My husband and son loved it too! We are having it for dinner with grill cheese sandwiches. Thanks for a delicious recipe. Reminds me of Panera’s tomato soup which is my favorite.
Hello, just wondering if the sugar is necessary? Are you doing it to balance the acid of tomatoes? I don’t want the soup to be sweet. I can’t wait to make this. I’ve been dying for tomato soup.
the sugar, I used Erythritol, just cuts down the acidity in the soup but it’s not remotely sweet
I made this today and it’s sooooooooooo good! I miss tomato soup since the canned type just has too many points for me. I will have to cut back on the red pepper flakes though, whew, they gave me hiccups!
