Tomato Soup

Friends, when I was younger, I hated tomato soup. I had no appreciation for the flavor. Now, it’s a completely different story.

I don’t know about you, but a bowl of warm delicious goodness is what I opt-in for in the fall, spring, and winter months.

I keep the tomato soup recipe as classic as possible – therefore, there will be no need to revert back to canned tomato soup. Let’s be honest, the homemade stuff is always better, right?

  6. Love tomato soup no matter what the weather! We have it with a charcuterie board for a light dinner when I don’t feel like cooking. I love that you added roasted vegetables which must give the soup an extraordinary flavor and this recipe would give me a chance to use my fresh basil that is doing well in my garden.

  7. I think using vegetable broth instead of water should be an esential part of the recipe. The broth gives the soup deeper taste.

  17. I’m like you. When I was young, I didn’t like tomato soup. But the soup then was that canned variety that had that nauseating sweet taste that was nothing like homemade tomato soup. When I finally had a great tomato soup it was quite a revelation. Your recipe is on the very good side.

  18. We never get bored of the classic tomato soup and would eat this all year long. Roasted tomato soup happens to be one of our favorite and my boys love it. I like the idea of using couple of carrots for flavor and color in the soup. Will try it next time.
