    Who's got some tomatoes?!

    Alright, who's got all the beans?...and tomatoes??

    Well, if you've been lucky enough to score some during this drought, kudos!

    I'm not a hoarder, per se, but I do stock up a few items here and there. In particular, I always like to have a few cans (or boxes, in my case) of tomatoes in the pantry.

    Lucky for me because we made grilled cheese and cheese crisps with today's delicious tomato soup this weekend.

    The report is...this is the best tomato soup!

    From the hubs: 'This is the best tomato soup I've ever had!'

    From the kid that hates (most) soups: 'Wow, I actually like this soup, mommy!':

    Sam wouldn't touch it, so I have no clue what he would say. I object to his opinion though, as he eats sauce-less pizza! Jade and I loved it too!

    Smooth or chunky?

    So, I'm a fan of smoooooooth tomato soup, so I blend the heck out of this. The beauty of this tomato soup recipe is that if you want a little more 'bite', just blend it less.

    The recipe I've created here is also quite basic. Some recipes have multiple added veggies, spices, and whatnot. Some recipes even call for sugar!

    I like to use a red onion here for the natural boost of sweetness.

    Tomatoes, red onion, olive oil, water, salt, pepper, dried basil. Easy peasy!

    Try this soup with one of these accompaniments:

    Buckwheat Flour Biscuits

    Notes:

    I like to use these boxed tomatoes by Pomi for this recipe.

    If you like your soup thinner, which I sometimes do, just add a little extra water at the end of cooking.

    Some of the items I use in this recipe include:


    Recipe steps:

    Saute the onion...

     

    Add in the rest of the ingredients...

     

    Just after cooking, before blending...

      Hey Lauren! There isn't much seasoning in the recipe so I am guessing you must have really great tomatoes! I don't think I have seen boxed tomatoes in any store I shop, but the canned ones often taste metallic to me, so I prefer just getting fresh tomatoes. Can you also tell the metallic taste in cans, that you go with boxes? Thanks for the recipe! It's easy and looks yummy! I will make it, but I'll throw some pasta in 😉 we prefer chunkier soups. Warm regards and may you all stay safe and healthy!

        Hi Alice! I use the boxed Pomi tomatoes (there's a link below the recipe box in the post). They are the only ones that don't give me allergy trouble! This soup is rather simple, but so good! Anymore, my tastebuds seem to want things less complex. 🙂
