Tomato Basil Soup
A soup I like to order when we go out to eat is Tomato Bisque. Yum! But since cream and Parmesan cheese aren't part of the Daniel Fast, this recipe is closest I can get to the real deal.
Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 3 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth or water see Recipe Notes
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- Toasted pumpkin seeds optional
- Toasted sunflower seeds optional
Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add onions, and cook until soft and translucent. Add tomatoes, water, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook 20 minutes.
- Place mixture in a food processor or blender, and purée until desired consistency is reached. Return to skillet, and cook 5-10 more minutes. Sprinkle pumpkin and/or sunflower seeds on top, if desired.
- Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 1/4 cups)
Notes
- Use leeks (white and light green parts only) instead of onions.
- If you don’t have time to make your own vegetable broth, you can use a store-brought brand that’s Daniel Fast friendly. I recommend Kitchen Basics Unsalted Vegetable Stock.
Hi Kristen. I love this soup. Thought I would share with you an additional soup that I make with this as the base. It is a Stuffed Pepper Soup. I add cooked brown rice and chopped red, green or yellow peppers (or a mixture of all) when I put it back on the stove after processing and cook until peppers are tender. Thanks for sharing and May God Bless you.
Thanks, Cindy! I’m glad you like it. 🙂 And, thanks for sharing your Stuffed Pepper Soup version of it. Sounds yummy!

Hi, Donna! It’s Tuscan Soup. 🙂 You’ll like it!
Tomato & basil, two of my favorite things! This was easy to make & my husband & I plan to add it to or normal rotation after we are done with the Daniel Fast. My 22 year old daughter who walked in from work was like “what smells so good?” So, I’m sure she will be wanting the recipe as well. God bless as you & your family walk into the new year!
Hi, Angela! Thanks so much for sharing. I appreciate your feedback and am glad you liked the recipe! May God fill you with His power and peace as you trust in Him!
Simple and delicious! I love it.
