Low Sodium Tomato Basil Soup
It’s thick, it’s velvety, it’s full of flavor - you won’t get enough of this tomato basil soup. The great thing is that this low-sodium, low-carb recipe guides you when you can add salt to your taste, so the recipe is really for everyone! Onions are stewed down in lots of butter before flavored with garlic and tons and tons of basil. Make sure you have plenty of basil on hand for this one! The mixture is blended with crushed tomatoes to create a creamy soup. Stew the soup a little longer, add a couple of final touches, and you’re done.
Make the soup vegetarian or vegan
If you want to make your low sodium Keto soup recipe vegetarian, you can simply swap the chicken broth out for vegetable broth. If possible, choose a low sodium vegetable broth or consider making your own at home. Not all vegetable broths are alike, so make sure any store-bought brands are truly vegetarian. To make the soup vegan, substitute the butter with olive oil.
Can I freeze the soup?
You can absolutely freeze the soup instead of refrigerating it for long-term storage. Once the finished soup is cooled, pour it into a strong freezer storage bag. To reheat the frozen soup, you can just dump it into a large pot and cook it. If frozen, you may need to cook down the soup a little longer to evaporate any excess water.

Simmer the tomatoes and onions while covered with a lid for about 5 minutes. Then, pour the broth into the pot, stir, then remove the pot from the stove. Away from the heat, use an immersion blender to blend the tomatoes and onions into a creamy soup.Step 4
Return the pot of soup to the stove. Bring the soup to a simmer, and cook the soup until it reduces slightly to a thicker consistency. Salt and pepper your soup to taste, depending on your dietary needs. You may also add more chopped basil to the soup to your taste.
