This Paleo Creamy Chicken Tomato Soup is the perfect easy dinner. Ready in 30 minutes, so delicious, and healthy. Whole30, gluten free, dairy free, and low FODMAP.
Low FODMAP Soup
I'm back with another low FODMAP recipe that is easy and delicious! One of the huge adjustments of this diet is no garlic or garlic powder! I was used to adding that to everything and without it some recipes taste kind of flat. Well, I discovered garlic infused oil is allowed and it's been a life saver! I've been using it for so many recipes to add that distinct flavor and it's working. I found some at a health food store and then I ordered more from Amazon.
Now about this soup- it is so easy to make and comes together quickly. It's made in one pan which is always nice for cleanup. I used a cast iron brasier, but a stock pot or dutch oven will work great as well. Using fire roasted canned tomatoes for this is the best because they have more flavor and don't taste as "canned".
I use chicken thighs for this, but chicken breasts will work as well. It would also be great without chicken and served as a side dish. Using meat makes it more of a meal for sure.
Dairy Free Soup
This soup is naturally gluten free, using coconut milk makes it dairy free and it also happens to be Whole30. But it is comforting, warm, and no one will guess it's "health" food. The combination of garlic, tomato, and basil is so perfect and satisfying. I know we are coming out of soup weather, but I think this is good enough to make even in the summer. Maybe with fresh tomatoes? That would be delicious!

This looks so good! I love homemade creamy tomato soup but I've never thought to add chicken to it. Your recipe is brilliant! Love that protein addition!
Jessica DeMay says
Thank you, Emily! I love that it's a meal in one. That's what I was going for. 🙂
Anya says
Such a hearty and delicious soup. My husband and boys politely asked me to not make meatless soup anymore. They need MEAT! Also? Totally eyeing that braiser.
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Anya! Well, at least they politely asked! 😉 I bought the brasier on a super good sale at Williams Sonoma and it never leaves my stove. It's the best!

Oooh this looks AMAZING. And Low FODMAP. Perfect! Thanks for posting...definitely going to be trying! Tomato soup is an all-year-round kinda thing 🙂
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Sarah! I hope you love it!
Katja says
This looks bomb! And so easy! Makes me crave a good old fashioned grilled cheese to go with it. (haven't had one of those in YEARS!)
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Katja! I'm right there with you! That used to be one of my favorite combinations. Dip the sandwich right into the soup- yum! Not anymore-- but it's still good! 🙂
Michele Spring says
I make tomato soup all the time in the summer with our fresh tomatoes from the garden, but I have never put chicken in it. What a great idea! Will definitely have to try it.
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Michele! Tomato soup with fresh tomatoes sounds so good!
Donna says
I love the idea of adding chicken to the tomato soup, a combination of my two favourite soups xx
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Donna!
Irena Macri says
Admittedly, I'm thinking about grilled cheese with this soup! Haha. Looks SO tasty and so creamy. Definitely potential for that classic soup recipe to get handed down from generation to generation. xx
Jessica DeMay says
Ha! I know! You can't beat that classic combination! Thanks, Irena!
Ann Marie McGinley says
try parmesan crisps with it! no carbs - so easy: just put about 2 tbsp of shredded parm on parchment and bake in 400 degree oven until lightly browned. cool and enjoy - takes the place of croutons or that need for cheese!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Ann Marie! That sounds like a delicious option if you can handle cheese 🙂
Allison Wojtowecz says
This looks just like what my mom makes! I'll have to send it her way for the "better" version. 😉
Jessica DeMay says
Ha! I'm sure she'll appreciate that 😉

Renee says
My mouth is watering! I need to find me some fire roasted tomatoes! That is so good to know that you can have the garlic infused oils when low FODMAP - I have not had to pay attention to them before but know of some who do - thank you for the info! This soup is going on my menu plan!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Renee! I hope you love it! Check your local health food store (Health Hutt?) for Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes. Yes, garlic oil is a life saver. I didn't know anything about low FODMAP until I had to out of necessity. I still google ingredients every day before using them 🙂
