A creamy, flavorful avocado-tomato soup with hints of oregano and garlic, perfect for a light, refreshing meal or starter for those who enjoy bold, fresh flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the tomato soup, broth, and water together until warmed through.
- Pour the heated mixture over chipped up avocados in a bowl or cup.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider blending the avocado with the heated soup mixture before serving. If you're out of oregano, Italian seasoning or basil make great substitutes. For a heartier version, add cooked beans or lentils, which pair beautifully with this soup. Serve it with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the soup as a light appetizer or a main dish, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley. Pair it with a grilled cheese sandwich or a fresh salad for a satisfying meal. This recipe is versatile and can also be a great base for adding protein, like diced chicken or shrimp.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the soup on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally to maintain the avocado's creamy texture. Avoid boiling as it may change the flavor and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomato soup?
Yes, you can use fresh tomatoes! Simply cook them down with some broth until soft, then blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed, but remember to balance the acidity of fresh tomatoes with a bit of sugar if desired.
Is it possible to make this soup vegan?
Absolutely! Substitute the beef or chicken broth with vegetable broth and ensure your canned tomato soup is free from animal products. This way, you can enjoy a delicious vegan version without sacrificing flavor.

To add some heat, incorporate diced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the soup while heating it. You can also serve it with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce right before serving for an extra kick.
