These are recipes that come in at 400 calories or less, meaning our Speedy Tomato Soup is perfect if you’re following a calorie-controlled diet.

As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, this figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day.

Step 1
Spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and set on a medium heat. Add the onions and fry for 10 minutes — until softened and golden brown.
Step 2
Add the carrot, potatoes, and celery. Add the stock cubes to the water and stir until dissolved. Pour into the pan with the chopped tomatoes.
Step 3
Bring to the boil, lower the heat, then cover with a lid. Simmer for 15-20 mins — until the veg is tender.
Step 4
Using a stick blender or food processor, blend until smooth, then season to taste. If the soup is a little thick for your liking, add a splash of extra water.

How can I work out the calories of this recipe if I left out the potatoes?! Thanks
SharonMonday 23rd October 2023
Hi Clare, we wouldn’t recommend leaving the potatoes out as they thicken the Speedy Tomato Soup. If you do want to adjust ingredients and calories you may find this article useful : How to work out calories and points in a recipe. Hope this helps.

Hi – can I chuck all these ingredients into my soupmaker and press the smooth button or does it really need to go on the hob? Thanks

Hey Coral, we haven’t tested this recipe in a soup-maker but it should work fine, just refer to your manufactures instructions. Hope that helps!

Emily MelvinTuesday 16th November 2021
How many g or ml per serving it is for 90 cals? Please
HollyTuesday 16th November 2021
Hey Emily, We work out our recipes on the serving size not by weight. To work out your own weight of a serving you would need to make the finished dish and divide servings, as the weight will vary due to variation of ingredients and water content it’s not something we can do as an exact measure. If you scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page on the website there is a little arrow by servings and you can alter up or down to serve more or less people. Hope that helps!

I have loads of fresh Tom’s would it be 400gms of those instead of tinned x
SharonFriday 17th December 2021
Hi Sue, tinned tomatoes usually have a more intense flavour than fresh tomatoes so they work well in soup. We haven’t tried making this soup with fresh tomatoes, but if you’d like to try it, we would suggest a 400g tin is equivalent to about 5 or 6 medium tomatoes. These will weigh over 400g but you will need to skin and deseed them first. You could try adding a little tomato puree to make the tomato flavour more intense. Hope this helps!
Morag StanhopeThursday 12th August 2021

Hi, thanks for the recipe! Can I ask why it is 2points on WW purple? I can only see 2points in total for the stock cubes? Is this 2points per total 6servings?
Thanks!
HollyWednesday 7th October 2020
Hey Kirsty, I’ve just had a look at this recipe and the points are correct on the page and the points are per individual serving.

Ann WilsonSunday 8th March 2020
Would passata be alright to use instead of tinned tomatoes and what quantity as I cannot eat seeds, many thanks
Sharon FitzpatrickFriday 8th May 2020
Hi Ann , yes, you could use passata instead if you prefer. The tin of tomatoes in this recipe would be 400g. Passata often comes in a 500g carton, so you could add that and it should be fine. Let us know how you get on. Thanks for getting in touch.

Catherine FotheringhamSaturday 28th January 2017
I made this and used sweet potato instead and added a pinch if chilli flakes, it gave it a nice sweetness with a hint of heat. Even my husband was impressed.
TaraMonday 9th January 2017
