Keto Tomato Soup – Only 5 ingredients, that you probably already have handy in your kitchen, is all you will need for this tasty low carb tomato soup recipe! Super creamy and super easy, makes this perfect soup recipe a go-to for days you need some comfort. And better yet…it is ready in only 15 minutes!
I’m going to be completely honest, I never had tomato soup (that I can think of!) until I was an adult. Like 38 years old adult! Boy was I missing out!
Canned tomato soup is filled with ingredients that are not keto friendly such as sugar and corn starch. Most are around 20 carbs per serving.
Now tomato soup is one of my favorite soups and I could eat it multiple times a week. Thanks to this easy recipe, having tomato soup on the keto diet is possible.
Keto tomato soup in 15 minutes!
So how do we make this creamy low carb tomato soup in only 15 minutes? Well, we have to start with a secret shortcut ingredient. That would be a jar of sugar free marinara sauce!
Stay with me here because sugar free marinara sauce isn’t just for dipping keto mozzarella sticks. As a matter of fact, the sauce that I use has the ingredients tomatoes, olive oil, onions, salt, garlic, basil, black pepper, and dried oregano. All of the flavors of a good tomato soup!
You could also make your own sauce with my recipe for keto marinara sauce.
Another reason I love to use a jar sugar free marinara for this low carb tomato soup is because tomatoes are in season in the Summer, I want this soup in the Winter when it’s cold outside!
Creamy tomato soup
I added a few additions to give the soup even more flavor and to make it creamy. This includes heavy cream, sweetener, chicken broth, and tomato paste.
We add the sugar free sweetener to cut through the acidity in the sugar free marinara.
Even though this creamy tomato soup only uses 5 ingredients and 15 minutes, it is still thick, comforting, and filled with flavor like it has been cooking on the stovetop all day.
Croutons to top the soup
If you noticed, I have some super crispy croutons on top of my soup. For those I use my recipe for 90 second keto bread, cut it into cubes, and brown them under the broiler. They make perfect gluten free croutons!

I am a huge soup fan and I can eat it any season and any time of day. Try my Keto Bacon Cheeseburger soup if you are looking for something a little more heartier.
My Keto Cream of Mushroom Soup is perfect as a hug in a bowl or to replace cream of mushroom soup in a recipe.
Another hearty soup that is a family favorite is my Keto Chicken Pot Pie soup. I use my Low Carb cheddar biscuits to top the soup. Those biscuits would be delicious with this tomato soup, too!

JENNIFER'S TIPS
- Please be aware that using a different brand of marinara would change the carb count. I use Rao's because it has no added sugar like most marinaras.
- I use a sugar free sweetener to cut through the acidity in the marinara. This is essential for really good tomato soup!
- Croutons: For those I use my recipe for 90 second keto bread, cut it into cubes, and brown them under the broiler. They make perfect gluten free croutons!
Lynn says
This is hands down the best tomato soup (Keto or not). I love Campbell’s tomato bisque and I can truly say this is better. Make the croutons very crispy and brown. Best soup I’ve had in months.
Kara Rydman says
This was easy and AWESOME. Only deviation I made was adding red pepper flakes. Definitely a keeper.
Lori says
All I had on hand was a low carb marinara from Thrive Market but it works. This is perfect. I’m also making grilled cheese with low carb bread for my dinner tonight since my husband is out of town and hates tomato soup.
Robin D says
Was wonderful and creamy! I was worried with starting with marinara but it added all the good spices without having to go through the hassle. I did end up putting the whole thing in the blender after about 30 minutes of simmering. It made it so smooth and you’re not missing anything with this soup!
Terri says
Perfect soup for a cold, snowy day here in Idaho. On top of the cold outside, I am not feeling well, and was wishing for something warm and comforting but it HAD TO BE Keto friendly. BINGO!
Can’t wait to try this in a few minutes after it is warmed through.
Deb says
Never, ever thought I’d like anything but Campbell’s tomato soup….but, since I’ve been Keto for the past 3 years….no more Campbell’s…..and then, viola! I saw this recipe! It’s amazingly delicious! Never had such wonderful, chemical & preservative free tomato soup! I make a triple batch & freeze in zip lock bags…..so simple & yet so fantastic! Thank you for putting tomato soup back on the menu! This with a grilled cheese (made with homemade Keto bread) is the best! I’m a big fan!
Diana Meinweiser says
Ok, I’m a believer! I have never liked any tomato soup other than Campbell’s. I made it for lunch today and it was amazing! I love Rao sauce but never thought about soup. Now I can have grilled cheese and tomato soup. Game changer! Thank you so much!
Brandi fry says
This was amazing! Thank you so much for this! I made it exactly as the recipe but used prego farmers market marinara (only 4 net carbs!) My whole family loved it!
Deborah says
This soup is soooo delicious. I would eat this soup even if I were not eating keto. I had it with a grilled cheese sandwich.I love that I can eat good food and not feel deprived. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us.
Ken says
This was amazingly delicious. I love cabbage rolls but couldn’t eat them using canned soup due to all the sugar. I was so happy. Transforming marinara sauce to tomato soup ….. who knew?
Andrea says
I will never buy a can of tomato soup again! This soup is the real deal.
Paula Harrington says
For the croutons I am going to add a couple of grinds of Italian seasoning to the 90 second bread before cooking.
Heidi says
This was absolutely delicious and so easy. I used the garlic tomato Rao’s and will definitely use that flavor version again. Since I only had half and half, I added a little cream cheese for some extra creaminess. Wow. It was a hit.
Rene Lindahl says
Quick, easy and delicious!!
Katie says
Thanks so much for this recipe; it’s so fast and simple yet absolutely delicious! I would happily eat this over any other tomato soup even if I wasn’t counting carbs.
Kathy says
Really awesome! Thanks for creating recipe. Love the deep flavor given by Rao’s marinara.
Zakiya says
Delicious. I think I will use less sweetener next time.
Marilyn says
I am an old New Englander and Creamy Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches are the absolute best on a cold winters day. I never leave reviews and I usually need to adjust recipes I find on the internet. At this stage of my life, I like simple things and this recipe is effortless to make. This recipe is abolutely perfect! Jennifer was right. To my surprise I had everything in the pantry to make this wonderful soup at the spur of the moment. So glad I did. Now I can enjoy an old favorite with my keto grilled cheese.
Thank you.
Paula Harrington says
You can add shredded cabbage, browned hamburger, Italian seasoning and at the end add a sprinkle of cheese for a Faux Lasagna Soup.
Virginia Doherty says

Tricia says
This soup and the croutons are LEGIT!
Emily says
Delicious!!!
Tre says
Definitely glad I tried this today! It will be my go to tomato soup from now on. So easy to make and much better tasting that canned. Plus it’s keto!!
Andrea says
This was really good, thanks! I swapped the quantities of heavy whipping cream and broth. I used 1c HWC and 1/2c beef bone broth (instead of chicken broth) because I like a creamier soup & wanted to use up my bone broth. It changed the macros to 28 fat/9 net carb per serving, so not that different. I also omitted the sweetener because the soup was just so good without. This was really tasty!
Patti E. says
Made this recipe and it was delicious! This will be come a staple for lunch. Try it with Pork Skins…yummy!
