If you love a bowl of tomato soup as much as we do, try our tasty tomato cheddar soup, simple bacon tomato soup, or tomato lentil soup with olives.
To make it, start by sautéing the onions, carrots, and garlic. Add in the stock, tomatoes, and seasonings and simmer until the carrots are fork-tender. Blend it all up until smooth and then stir in the cream. We love to serve it topped with minced fresh basil or parsley.
It’s a thicker soup that feels substantial so it’s perfect for lunch or a light dinner with a sandwich, grilled cheese, or our easy-to-make grilled cheese croutons!
Olive oil – we like the flavor of olive oil, but you can use a different kind of oil or even butter. Carrots – we love to make this soup when carrots are fresh and in season, but any carrots will work! Onion + garlic – for that classic savory flavor base. Chicken stock – for the best flavor, we use our homemade chicken stock, but vegetable stock works too for a vegetarian version. Store-bought stock also works in a pinch. Crushed tomatoes – we use canned crushed tomatoes for this recipe. If you love the smoky sweet taste of fire-roasted tomatoes, they taste great too! Sea salt – you can be generous with the amount of salt you use. It helps bring out the flavors of this vegetable-based soup. Dried thyme – thyme has a delicate, earthy flavor that adds some complexity to this soup. Cream – a bit of cream balances out the acidity of the tomatoes and makes this soup creamy. Basil or parsley – fresh minced herbs added right before serving really brighten up the flavor.
Make sure to season it well with salt and pepper. The seasoning is key to a tasty soup! Be careful when transferring the hot soup to the blender, and use a ladle if necessary. If you’re using a regular blender, you may need to work in batches. Use a nice quality canned tomato for a great-tasting soup! The best soups are always made with bone broth. It’s easy to make and stores well in your freezer. If you don’t have bone broth, you may want to add a little more salt, pepper, and cream to make the soup taste a little richer.
