This Healthy Tomato Soup with Gorgonzola Croutons is super creamy without any cream. Includes directions for traditional and Vitamix versions.
I made this Vitamix tomato soup three times in the last week alone.
Twice for me and the third for my parents who stopped in for a quick visit. It's that quick, easy and delicious.
I know, I know...I've been boring you to tears with my obsessive talk about the love I have for my Vitamix. So I won't say much about it other than I can make this tomato soup in less than ten minutes, with only two of those minutes spent actually making the recipe. The other 6-8 I just sit around and wait for the magic to happen. This Vitamix Tomato Soup only has a whopping four ingredients total - four!
Before I talk more about this delicious Vitamix tomato soup, you're probably wondering if you really need a Vitamix to make this Vitamix Tomato Soup?
And the answer is no, absolutely not. I highly recommend it because I love my Vitamix more than anything and the simple fact that I named this recipe Vitamix Tomato Soup should be a clue that it's perfect for that machine. But the stovetop and a hand blender will do the work just fine. I can't guarantee that it will be as smooth but you could always run it through a fine-mesh strainer to get the same results if you had to.
It's the healthiest soup I've made yet but you'd never know it when you taste it. I use tofu in place of heavy cream (I know it sounds weird but I swear you can't taste it!) and don't add any butter or oils. All good stuff!
The gorgonzola croutons are, obviously, not healthy in the slightest. But they are absolutely delicious and, depending on my mood, I like to add them for a little treat. But if you're trying to lose weight, are being health-conscious or just don't like gorgonzola, you can certainly leave them out and you'll still have a very healthy & tasty Vitamix tomato soup!

Vitamix Tomato Soup with Gorgonzola Croutons
So creamy and flavorful with a wonderful texture contrast from the croutons. And so simple to make with your Vitamix!
Ingredients
Soup
- 2 cans fire-roasted tomatoes
- ¼ onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 cup silkened tofu, must be soft or silkened!
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Croutons
- 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoon butter, softened
- 3 oz. gorgonzola crumbles
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 baguette slices
Instructions
TRADITIONAL VERSION:
- Preheat medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Dice onions and mince garlic cloves. Add onions, garlic and tomatoes to pot (do not drain). Heat until very hot.
- Add tofu and, using a hand blender, blend ingredients until very smooth. Continue to heat, if necessary, until hot enough to serve. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately with a gorgonzola crouton on top of soup.
VITAMIX VERSION:
- Place all ingredients in blender (minus salt and pepper, you will season at the end). Start at 1, go quickly to 10 then immediately to high. Blend for 6-8 minutes until soup is very hot. Season well with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with a gorgonzola crouton on top of soup.
GORGONZOLA CROUTONS:
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Brush baguette slices on one side with olive oil. Toast for 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and flip over.
- Mix together softened butter, gorgonzola crumbles, salt and pepper. Spread over baguette slices (the non-toasted side). Place back in oven for additional 5-8 minutes, until bread is lightly toasted and cheese mixture is just beginning to bubble and brown.

Hello, YES you can use firm tofu 🙂 I just used it as an experiment this evening!
I don't care for silken tofu so I used a block of Trader Joe's sprouted tofu (one section, so like a half a "big" block). While the veggies were roasting, I blended vegetable bouillon (Better than Bouillon) + 1 c water with the block of tofu on the soup setting on my Vitamix. I poured it into a measuring glass and set it aside.
Then I blended all the veggies on the soup setting. Once hot, I opened the poured in the tofu mixture through the lid and let it go until the whole thing was piping hot. It turned out SPECTACULARLY. I did have a jalapeno in with the roasted garlic, peppers, onions and tomatoes, so it has kick. Thank you for the recipe!
Ellen says
I'm definitely late to the party! Can this be made without the tofu affecting the consistency of the final product? I can't eat any type of soy. Cream cheese maybe? Brie? Just leave out?
Thank you
Kristy Bernardo says
Hi Ellen! It definitely can, it just might not be as thick depending on what you use. I'd probably just add a little heavy cream, but the cream cheese you mentioned could possibly work. It sounds so good that I'm going to give it a try myself! Let me know what you use and how it works out. Thanks!
Julie says
Is the soup as good without the croutons?
Kristy Bernardo says
Hi Julie, I looove the croutons and think it adds some great flavor. But I've made the soup many times without and I still love it 🙂
Shana says
Hi Julie,
I'm coming upon this thread a bit late.
Do you have suggestions for substituting out the canned fire roasted tomatoes for fresh ingredients?
Just made vitamix marinara with fresh tomatoes, would love to make this soup the same way. Your recipe sounds amazing.
Thank you!
Kristy Bernardo says
Gosh, I'm sorry but I've never tried it. If I were to try it, however, I'd probably roast/char about 4-5 roma tomatoes and use those. I'm sure it would be delicious with some freshly roasted tomatoes!
lapoissine says
Thanks for the recipe! I had gum graft surgery and was looking for smooth, healthy soups, and this was perfect! (no gorgonzola crouton for me, too crunchy). I like to tinker with recipes, so I reduced the tofu to about 2/3 cup and I added some jarred roasted red peppers in the VitaMix. SO GOOD! I also crumbled in some feta cheese. I'm definitely going to make it again.
the wicked noodle says
That's great, thanks so much for letting me know! Your changes sound great, love the addition of roasted red peppers AND the feta - yum! Here's to a quick recovery for you 🙂

Tomatoes and Gorgonzola croutons sounds like a match made in heaven!

Thanks Jess!
Minnie@thelady8home says
Tomato soup with tofu! I super like that, it looks wicked good. Bookmarked! It snowed again, though not too bad. It's sure time for some hot looking soup, and this is going on my table.
the wicked noodle says
Thanks, Minnie!
wok with ray says
Croutons soaking in that tomato soup is very tempting. The soup looks very creamy and delicious.
the wicked noodle says
Thanks, Ray!

So healthy but oh so pretty to look at and I'm sure, divine to eat.
the wicked noodle says
Thanks Maureen!
Lynna says
I LOVE that bowl! And this soup looks wonderful!! My sister is a huge fan of tomato soup. I must try this recipe for her. 😉
the wicked noodle says
Thank you, Lynna!
John@Kitchen Riffs says
The tofu trick sounds interesting -- I should play with that. I love tomato soup, and although it's one of the few canned ones I'll buy (nostalgia), one's own is always so much better. Thanks for this.
the wicked noodle says
I do the nostalgia thing with chicken noodle 🙂 Thanks, John!
Inspiralized says
Love the gorgonzola flavor here! How creative!
