What is a bloody mary?
Bloody Mary is a cocktail that contains vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, lemon juice, and more! Often served at brunch with lots of condiments on top.
Here in this recipe, we turn these flavors into a bloody mary soup. The taste is like a tomato soup but with tons of added tang and deliciousness.
Recipe Ingredients
- Tomatoes – Use fire-roasted tomatoes for the best flavor, or Italian diced tomatoes work great too.
- Bloody Mary Mix – We use Zing Zang bloody mary mix; this is not the tiny bottle of concentrate. If you use a bloody mary mix concentrate, use only two tablespoons.
- Vegetable broth – To keep this recipe meat-free, we use vegetable broth, but feel free to use beef or chicken broth if you prefer.
- Vegetables – Cherry tomatoes, celery, and onion are the veggies in this dish. There are
- Other flavorings – Worcestershire sauce, A.1. steak sauce, lemon and lime juice, and pickles will give this soup a very tangy and unique flavor.
- Heavy cream – Tomato soup needs a little fat to cut back on the acidity, and that’s where heavy cream comes into play.
- Toppings – We love to serve this soup with a skewer on top with random bloody mary garnishes such as olives, lemon, pickle, and pepperoni. We also love to do this soup with croutons on top.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step One – Add the diced tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, half of the celery, half of the pickles, onions, garlic, and seasonings.
Step Two – Next, add the Guinness beer, A.1. sauce, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, bloody mary mix, lemon, and lime juice.
Step Three – Now, pour over the vegetable broth and stir. WAIT TO ADD THE CREAM. Cook on LOW for 4 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
Step Four – When the cooking time is up, blend the soup using an immersion blender (or can use a regular blender and blend in batches).
Step Five – Blend until silky smooth.
Step Six – Now add the heavy cream and remaining pickles and celery, stir—Cook for thirty more minutes on HIGH.
What goes good with this soup?
- Serve topped with store-bought croutons or homemade croutons.
- Great served with grilled cheese on sourdough bread. Any type of hot melty sandwich is great, we also love this soup with turkey melts.
- Serve with a side of garlic bread or even homemade beer bread.
Variations
- Shrimp – Add three cups of thawed raw shrimp to this recipe during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Be sure they are properly cooked before serving.
- Chicken – You can add two chicken breasts to this recipe at the beginning of cooking. Shred before adding the heavy cream.
- Horseradish – What is a bloody mary without horseradish. I did not add horseradish to this soup, for not everyone enjoys it. Serve the horseradish as a garnish and have your guests stir one teaspoon into their bowl.

Can you use vodka instead of beer?
I don’t see why not!
Wondering how I might make this without the Guinness. What non-alcoholic ingredient would you suggest would instead of the beer?
I would leave it out. No need to add anything else, there’s no substitution for it. You could add a touch more broth.
It’s not possible buying Bloody Mary Mix in my country. Can I substitute the mix with something else?
i would use motts clamato juice or tomato juice spiked with worchester shire and a bit of celery salt garlic powder and onion powder
