This recipe came about one day when my son asked for tomato soup and we didn’t have any canned varieties on hand. He insists that if you have grilled cheese, you MUST have tomato soup with it! So I racked my brain and came up with this solution, which actually turned out way better than the canned stuff.
Blenders
My amazing husband bought me a Vitamix blender for Christmas (gotta love Black Friday deals!). So I whipped up this soup in my new blender.
Now, you don’t need a heavy duty blender to make this soup, since tomatoes are easy to blend even in the cheapest blender on the market. You can even use a magic bullet or a food processor.
The only difference will be that you will need to warm the soup after blending it (the more robust blenders actually heat the soup when left on high speed for a few minutes). Not really a big deal! The end result is still super yummy tomato soup, better than Campbell’s, in just minutes.
Tomatoes!
This recipe uses canned tomatoes as it’s base, but I fully intend on using garden fresh tomatoes this summer.
If you use fresh tomatoes, let me know how it turns out in the comments! You would use just under 2 cups of fresh tomatoes. I used regular old cows milk for the soup, but I believe any unflavored, unsweetened plant based milk would also work.
There is sugar in this recipe. You can absolutely leave it out if you’d like. It just adds a bit of sweetness to the soup.
You’ll notice in the pictures, there are air bubbles in the soup. That’s because it’s essentially whipped, which makes the soup taste even better!
Trust me. Try it.
