You might not have thought that tomato and apple work well together, but we love this combination of flavours in this tomato and apple soup – and of course both taste even better under a mountain of melted cheddar cheese!

This deliciously warming winter tomato and apple soup is packed full with vitamins and nutrients – perfect if you’re feeling a little under the weather or have some poorly children who can’t stomach much else.

It will quickly become a household favourite – we recommend using large Bramley apples to make this soup go that bit further.

Ingredients

• 450g (1lb) Bramley apples, peeled, cored and sliced
• 900g (2lb) ripe vine tomatoes, halved
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 75ml (3fl oz) extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 425ml (¾ pt) water
• 1tbsp tomato purée
• 2tsp caster sugar
• Handful fresh basil leaves

Method

Place the apples, tomatoes, garlic, oil in a large pan and season well. Cover with a tight-fitting lid then bring to the boil over a medium heat. Simmer for 15-20 mins, or until the apples, tomatoes and garlic have completely broken up.

Transfer to a blender, add the remaining ingredients and whizz until the soup is smooth. Finally, adjust the seasoning according to taste and gently reheat before serving in bowls with crusty bread.

Top tip for making Tomato and apple soup

Bramley apples freeze really well. Just peel, slice and soak them in water with lemon juice for 15 mins. Pat the apples dry then place them in bags and freeze.

Fresh Tomato Apple Soup

Published: Oct 6, 2017 · Updated: Mar 16, 2019 by Natalie · 14 Comments

A creamy and delicious Tomato Apple Soup made with all FRESH whole ingredients is perfect immune boosting soup for upcoming colder days. Enriched with healing spice — TURMERIC, this soup is bursting with flavors and deliciousness.

Aren’t creamy soups like the BEST thing on this planet. They are so comforting, filling and super easy to make. Plus you can make them in less than 30 minutes from literally ANY veggie that you have in your fridge.

Creamy veggie soups are my favorite throughout the whole year. Especially when colder weather and flu season strikes. Delicious immune boosting Carrot Ginger Soup and flavorful Spicy Broccoli Soup that heals EVERYTHING are constantly on our family menu. But lately, I had one more soup on my mind. That is a creamy tomato soup.

The whole story began with my Grandma’s’ famous tomato soup. She makes the best tomato soup in the family. It’s hard to outdo that sweet-sour creamy perfection she makes. Trust me, I’ve tried many times. I can say I have some (quite good) level of cooking skill but seems not that good enough to make her recipe taste exactly the same.

I was so disappointed with constant (unsuccessful) attempts to copy that soup that I eventually stop trying. Since we really love that tomato soup I decide to give it a try one more time. But this time, I didn’t follow Gran’s famous recipe but rather created my own. With little Googling and trial and error, I came up with this creamy deliciousness — my own perfect Tomato Apple Soup.

This soup came out just as I imagine it — slightly different, super HEALTHY and absolutely delicious — thick, rich in taste, with beautifully balanced sweet-sour components, perfectly flavored with fragrant spices. Soup passed the ultimate husband test (allow me to brag a bit) with flying colors.

What makes this Tomato Apple Soup so special is that I made it with all whole FRESH ingredients. It doesn’t contain any tomato concentrate, nor canned tomatoes. Nothing from the tube or can. So it’s not loaded with added unhealthy sugars nor any additives. I used fresh ripe and juicy tomatoes. Tomatoes are now in season and loaded with lycopene — a powerful antioxidant that protects our body from many diseases and premature aging, and in particular, protects our heart and cardiovascular system.

To balance sour tomato taste I used naturally sweet fresh apple. Its subtle sweetness mellowed the acidity of tomatoes allowing tomatoes rich flavor to shine through. Tomatoes and apples in this soup marry perfectly together, and the addition of turmeric and dill made a truly amazing flavor combination.

What’s also super neat about this Tomato Apple Soup is that it can be made in less than 30 minutes. Fresh ingredient soup made in less than half an hour? You bet! If you looking to speed up the process even more, you can prep fresh tomato sauce in advance. Just boil fresh tomatoes and refrigerate it in glass jar with the lid. Make sure you don’t use any spices (except salt) so you can use that sauce later in whatever meal you want.

This Tomato Apple Soup is best served freshly made and hot, with some wholegrain croutons or crackers. You can top it with some Emmentaler cheese for ultimative diner experience.

A really interesting fact about this soup is that it’s actually a fruit soup! WHAT.. yes I know?! Tomato is officially considered a fruit. I can only imagine facial expression of your family or guests when you tell them you’ll be serving them FRUIT soup for dinner.

Well, I can’t wait to hear what you (and your loved ones) think about this delicious Tomato Apple Soup.

Like I said in the introduction, this recipe wasn’t quite what I was looking for, but it was still good. This recipe makes five servings, J. and I shared some for dinner and then I had the leftovers for lunch the next day. Sometimes leftovers can be disappointing, but the soup was just as great for lunch as it had been for dinner.

Four years ago my husband and I, from Atlanta, went to Augusta for our anniversary and we had dinner at the Boll Weevil. I loved their Tomato Apple Soup too and I have never forgotten it! We are going to Augusta next month to visit friends from Florida. Can’t wait to eat there again and have some soup! On our previous visit, the chef gave us a list of the ingredients, if not exactly the recipe, though I have never tried, like you, to recreate it. Tomato paste, carrots, pureed apples, sugar, cream or milk, salt, pepper, basil.

My best friend is currently stationed in Augusta, I cannot wait to go back to the Boll Weevil to have the soup again.

Thank you so much for your comment and for the ingredient list, I’m going to start experimenting with it in the kitchen 🙂

I was just in Augusta and fell in love with this soup! I googled «Apple tomato Soup» and came up with the Allrecipes recipe and yours! Did you ever find the right mix for this soup? Their menu at Boll Weevil
mention carrots and «Fire roasted» fiji apples. Seems like a bit more effort to roast them first, but it might make a difference!

I never did quite find the right mix, maybe I’ll try experimenting with the recipe again this summer. Roasting the apples first seems like it might make quite the difference. Thanks for stopping by!

Tomato Soup is a hot favorite among all the age groups. So here I bring you the recipe of thick and creamy Tomato Soup without any nuts.

Try this VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE, NUTS FREE, KID’S FRIENDLY soup which is next going to be a hot favorite in your family.

Hot Tomato soup is a great accompaniment with pasta ( Penne Pasta in Creamy Marinara Sauce, One Pot Creamy Spinach Pasta, Baked Pasta in Creamy White Sauce), macaroni (Indian Masala Macaroni) , pizza or before meals with some crusty bread croutons. My kids love this a bit sweet, a bit tangy Tomato Soup with my homemade Whole Wheat Pizza or Basil flavored homemade bread( Star Bread, Basil Pesto Bread) or cheesy grilled sandwich.

The star ingredient of this Tomato Soup is of course, red ripe Tomatoes. But, apples here add a lot of texture and taste. The soup is thick creamy with a hint of sweet and a tangy taste.

What Kind of Tomatoes and Apple to choose for the Tomato Soup

For classic Tomato Soup always choose good bright red and ripe tomatoes.

In India I use a mix of hybrid and country(desi) tomatoes. For those outside India, Roma Tomatoes or Heirloom Tomatoes are the best as per my choice.

I usually add whatever apple is available at home. This time I added Green Apples. Tough Green Apples sometimes add a tart and tangy taste to soup, but you can always balance it a with a tsp of sugar/jaggery powder or any other raw sugar. If you find Granny Smith Apples too tart then you can use any other apple of your liking.

Ingredients for Tomato Apple Soup

Tomatoes— Red, ripe and juicy tomatoes. I prefer using fresh tomatoes but you can always used canned ones.

Apples— Any juicy season fresh apples of your choice. Apples add so much of texture and richness to this delicious soup. There is no need to add cornstarch(Cornflour in India) or any kind of nuts to thicken it.

For the family of sour I use 4 tomatoes and 1 Apple. When making a large batch adjust the quantity of apples and tomatoes as per your choice.

Herbs— Fresh Basil, Ginger, Garlic, add on to the flavor and immune boasting properties. Substitute fresh basil and garlic for dry basil and garlic powder.

Whole Spices— Bay Leaf, Cloves, Black Peppercorns, and Cinnamon Stick.

Others- Salt, Sugar and Oil/Butter.
