Nothing warms your belly like a bowl of this homemade tomato soup recipe! This creamy soup is simple to make and tastes incredible. Especially when paired with a grilled cheese sandwich!

Tomato Soup

I grew up with the classic tomato soup from a can. It was my mom’s specialty (not even kidding). She worked full time and ran my two sisters and I to all of our events. By the end of the day, when we were all exhausted, she would grab a can of Campbell’s from the pantry. Five minutes and dinner was ready. 

While this creamy tomato soup doesn’t take five minutes, it is completely worth the added time. Rich, creamy, and delicious. those are the three words my very picky eater used to describe this soup. It’s also fairly simple to put together! Carrots and onions give it a great base and crushed tomatoes round things off! 

Creamy Tomato Soup

What you need:

The beauty of this recipe is that it is so incredibly simple to customize. I love topping mine with fresh basil and grated Parmesan. My husband likes a dash of red pepper. The kid? A good dash of fresh ground pepper. Play around with the seasonings and I’m sure you will fall in love.

What goes well with soup?

Soup on it’s own is never enough to fill up my boys. We often top it with fun additions or serve some killer sides. Here are a few of our favorite ways to enjoy this tomato soup recipe:

  • Grilled Cheese– Nothing pairs better than grilled cheese to dunk into a warm bowl of soup! 
  • Croutons- Garlic cheesy croutons are a simple and easy way to add crunchy goodness. You can find these in the salad section of most grocers. 
  • Dinner rolls – a classic go-to for every dinner, am I right?
  • Side salad- Add more greens to your diet with an easy side salad. All you need is lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and fresh grated parm. Toss and serve!
