Tesco stated that it adjusts its soup range throughout the year to reflect seasonal demand.
The supermarket will expand its offering again in the autumn.
However, even if the removal proves to be temporary, it has already disappointed some loyal fans.
One said on X (formerly Twitter): "Trying to find this soup... has it been discontinued?"
Another added: "Went into big Tesco to get my favourite tomato & basil soup for dinner, but it was out of stock. Evening ruined."
The soup has a smooth tomato blend finished with basil and a hint of black pepper.
It has been removed from Tesco's website and is no longer available in stores.
A number of other supermarkets sell tomato and basil soup including Sainsbury's where a 600g tub is priced at £1.49 and M&S where 600g will set you back £2.50.

How to save money at Tesco
EVERY little helps when it comes to saving money at Tesco.
The Sun's Head of Consumer Tara Evans explains how you can save money at the UK's biggest supermarket.
Clubcard points
Tesco first launched it's loyalty scheme back in 1995. You get one point for every £1 you spend in store. If you spend points in store then 100 points is worth £1. You can spend your points via its reward partners and get triple and even sometimes quadruple the value.
Extend Clubcard points
You can find lost Clubvcard points and find the last two years of unused vouchers by logging into the Tesco Clubcard site.
Clubcard prices
If you don't have a Clubcard then you will miss out on its cheaper Clubcard prices. However, don't forget to check prices before you shop because it might not be cheaper than elsewhere, especially on big value items like washing powder and loo roll.
Yellow stickers
Shops do vary the time they reduce groceries with yellow stickers but Tesco tends to be between 7pm and 9pm.
Save money if you shop online
If you get your Tesco food shop delivered then it might be worth buying a delivery saver pass to help cut the cost of delivery fees.
If you live near a Tesco then you can get click and collect slots of as little as 25p, so it might be cheaper than getting your food delivered.
