My Vegan Tomato Soup with Herbed Aioli Grilled Cheese Sandwiches is a delicious spin on this classic comfort food combo!
Is there a more classic combination than tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches?
In my book, it doesn’t get much more classic than that! And my Vegan Tomato Soup with Aioli Grilled Cheese Sandwiches is my favorite spin on this classic comfort food combo. 😋
My vegan tomato soup recipe is pretty classic.
I think the best tomato soup is the kind where nothing gets in the way of that tomato taste. I like my tomato soup rich, smooth, and full of tomato flavor with some simple herbs complementing, but definitely not overpowering, the tomato.
My secret ingredient to amazing tomato soup is San Marzano Double Concentrated Tomato Paste. You can find it here on Amazon [aff. link]. San Marzano tomato paste really enhances the tomato flavor in this soup.
Besides the rich flavor of this tomato paste, I absolutely love that it comes in a tube—no more wasting ¾ of a can of tomato paste, or wondering how you’ll store all that left over tomato paste without turning your storage container bright red.
!!!!!!!!!
Has that happened to anyone else??!
Whoever invented tubed tomato paste was seriously a genius.
Feel free to use whatever tomato paste you have on hand, but I highly recommend getting a tube of San Marzano Tomato Paste [aff. link] next time you stock up!
My favorite thing to pair with this vegan tomato soup is my herbed aioli grilled cheese sandwiches.
You may remember this herbed aioli from my Brown Rice Veggie Burgers recipe. My herbed aioli is the perfect complement to grilled cheese sandwiches as well! And these simple sandwiches are so incredibly good, you won’t believe that 3 ingredients–aioli, cheese, and bread–create such a layered flavor profile.
You can use vegan cheddar in these sandwiches to keep this meal vegan. (My favorite vegan cheddar is Miyoko’s Cultured Vegan Cheddar Shreds.)
But if you use dairy cheese, be sure you freshly grate the cheese yourself. I promise it makes a WORLD of difference. You won’t believe how much better freshly grated cheddar melts.
Enjoy my Vegan Tomato Soup and Herbed Aioli Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for a quick, healthy, and delicious meal this week. I’m sure it will become the requested meal in your home that it is at mine! ♥️

I love a good tomato soup and this looks like the perfect cosy winter meal! Happy New Year, Shannon and Mimi!
Awww thanks so much Katerina! Happy New Year to you and your sweet family! ❤️
I’m not so much of a tomato soup fan, but I have to say that I’m a big fan of this grilled cheese!
Thanks so much Jeff!!! It’s definitely my favorite sandwich these days! It’s hard to go wrong with grilled cheese, isn’t it? 😋
Ah, you just can’t beat a good bowl of tomato soup when the weather outside is rubbish. Your tomato soup looks amazing. And the accompanying herbed aioli grilled cheese sandwiches are just the ticket. I hope you had an amazing Christmas Shannon. And here’s to an equally amazing 2020 too!
Thanks so much Neal, I completely agree! Nothing beats tomato soup on a cold winter day! Hope you and your family had a fabulous Christmas, and that your New Year is off to a great start!
Holy cow, that herbed aioli just blew my mind! I love a good grilled cheese sandwich (especially when it’s made on rustic bread like you have here), and the thought of adding that aioli in there just made my mouth start watering…and it’s only 7:30am here! Talk about the perfect combination with tomato soup and an epic grilled cheese sammich!
Thanks David! I relate haha, put aioli on almost anything, and I will have a hard time restraining myself from seconds!!
You had me at herbedf aioli! I’m not always a tomato soup fan, but with something this nice to dunk into it, I’m sure I could be into it!
Thanks Jeff! Oh yes, the aioli is one of my favorite parts of this meal!
