Easy Tomato Soup Recipe Creamy Delicious

Tomato Soup

It doesn’t take much to make a healthy, flavorful soup and this soup is proof of that! Of course, you could swap out the butter for olive oil here to make it healthier and omit the cream, but this time around I wanted to make it just a little indulgent. You can’t go wrong with cream and here, it takes it to next level good! I also love butter in tomato soup, it works wonders here.

Creamy Tomato Soup Is Best

I love cream in tomato soup, but you could use Greek yogurt for a healthier alternative if you still want to get a creamy end result, just add in a pinch of sugar to help give it that hint of sweetness. My favorite way to enjoy this soup is with some fresh crusty bread or a slice of cheese toast. This is probably the easiest homemade tomato soup I’ve ever made and I know I will make this again and again. It made me realize all those extra ingredients I’ve been adding to tomato soup all along really aren’t all that necessary. And I actually didn’t even need to add a pinch of salt to this recipe, if you like things salty you may want a bit, but I’m more of a peppery person I suppose so I added a little of that. The chicken stock was well seasoned so this soup really doesn’t need much. Some fresh basil and garlic offer this soup it’s fresh flavor and the canned tomatoes make it possible to serve up this soup year round! What’s not to love here? Minimal ingredients, quick prep, short cook time and of course happy tastebuds!
