SIMPLE TOMATO SOUP



Simple Tomato Soup image

This is my go-to tomato soup recipe. It's so easy and delicious. It's easily made vegan (if you use margarine instead of butter or 2 tablespoons of olive oil), ready in 30 minutes, and I give leftovers to my kids for lunch. If you like, you can add cream, but my family likes it the way it is. I usually serve it with rosemary bread for dunking.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes that are bursting with flavor.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. This step is optional, but highly recommended.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so make sure to use a good quality one. I recommend using a homemade chicken or vegetable broth, but you can also use a store-bought broth if you're short on time.
  • Don't overcook your soup: Tomato soup is best when it's cooked just until the flavors have melded together. Overcooking the soup will make it lose its vibrant color and flavor.
  • Season to taste: Every palate is different, so be sure to taste your soup and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic, or herbs to taste.

Conclusion:

Tomato soup is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make, delicious, and packed with nutrients. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a cozy soup to warm you up on a cold day, tomato soup is a great option. So next time you're in need of a comforting meal, give this simple tomato soup recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
