HOMEMADE TOMATO SOUP

Now that we've said goodbye to summer and ushered in fall, it’s time for soup season! i really like the comfortable autumn evenings that are just made for homemade tomato soup. It’s also one among my husband’s favorite soups, especially when paired with grilled cheese! Hopefully, if you’ve found yourself here, you’re also a tomato soup fan. Welcome! prepare for your new favorite recipe.


My love for tomato soup didn’t start out once I was young. I actually didn’t grow to like it until i used to be in college at Vanderbilt and our sorority house (go Chi-O!) served the foremost amazing tomato soup on Monday evenings at our chapter meetings. I lived for tomato soup night. This recipe jogs my memory such a lot of that tomato soup.


Like all the recipes I share, i would like to offer you ways to tailor it to your favorite flavors.


To make a spicy tomato soup, use “spicy hot” V8 juice in situ of normal .
For a stronger basil flavor, add an additional 2 tablespoons and garnish with extra chopped basil.

Love a creamier tomato soup? Add more cream. You can’t fail with this recipe!
Now, this tomato soup recipe involves using fresh tomatoes. It makes a world of difference. It’s supplemented with V8 or juice , however, to offer it a fullness. As for the fresh tomatoes, use whichever kind you favor . We like to make this with heirloom tomatoes when they’re available but any tomato (I love Romas also) will do exactly fine!

One thing i actually love about this tomato soup recipe is that the chunks of onion, celery, and tomato. It gives it a touch of a heartier consistency than a full broth-style tomato soup. If you really prefer that, then use an immersion blender and fully blend until smooth.


Let’s talk garnishes! Whether you’re making this tomato soup for a fast weeknight meal or serving it at a banquet , garnishes are a must! Here are my favorites:

I love serving this tomato soup for my family as a weeknight meal (it reheats beautifully), but it’s also wonderful for a crowd. If you’re hosting a gaggle for a game night, holiday gatherings, you name it! you'll rewarm it during a Crock Pot and found out garnishes and grilled cheeses.
